JohnJ Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 @MicroMara That "friend"? Does he not realize that your "Long Live the Queen" speakers were a labor of love for your music? To the other story going on here for a day or so there is one moral to take heed of: Don't f with Nanook! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mastered @ Abbey Road plus it's a HALF-SPEED. Soooo, if ya have an extra $50 in communion stash you too can kick back and enjoy some Police. Not a fan? Well suck it up buttercup. Look at it this way. You've got it all and it'll be impressive. Stewart Copeland is right there on side 1 but when side 2 kicks in you're gonna truly like him if you don't now. He's captivating and it's a great ride. Pretty amazing listen also. I don't think it could get much better. Got my double thumbs up! Police is german is called POLIZISTEN or POLIZEI 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Long time ago he was an Eskimo character in the movies, think Frank Zappa re-incarnated him for some of his stories! *Those Eskimos are Inuit and Nanook was a Polar Bear Spirit or something like that George!

MicroMara Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Back to business , the SME is built up and sounds better than ever before . In two days I´ll install the MA 505 MK II . In the meantime I use the Micro Seiki AX 1 Armborad to place record covers there. Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention " One size fits it all " This picture shows the bronze cutting bearing which supports the arm. The following work was done on the tone arm - Arm completely disassembled and cleaned - Vertical bearing cleaned, sprayed and the bearing play precisely adjusted - Cleaned the contacts of the headshell connector and checked the ease of movement of the spring contacts. - Replaced plastic cutting bearing with bronze cutting bearing - Cleaning and polishing of the horizontal bearing seat - Rewiring of the tone arm with ultra pure copper stranded silk wire - New 24 carat gold plated RCA jacks The SME 3009 Improved S 2 sounds quieter, at the same time also more dynamic, finer and more natural. Voices are more graceful and realistic. The stage structure is clearly better. Width and depth are a bit more pronounced. So, I like the tonearm very much and in my opinion it has made a real class leap. Wonderful, I do not regret a cent ! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 @MicroMara Do you have any opinion on the anti-skate weight being hung on a string as opposed to not? My old YAH P-520 had the weight?? with a dial on the plinth to adjust it. My ProJect Classic has the weight hanging by some fishing line like above. Aesthetics - looks retro but I dislike it Functionally - what is your opinion if any just curious haven't bothered to look it up 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetics - looks retro but I dislike it Functionally - what is your opinion if any just curious haven't bothered to look it up As far as I know you have a ProJect 9cc tonearm , yes he also has this string Antikscating , my cousin has the same tonearm on a Music Hall MMF 9.1 We have constantly had problems with the antiskating . With the SME you can set that exact, there are no problems. My cousin has replaced the 9cc arm with a Jelco tonearm. Now he is satisfied. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
