I couldn't stand it anymore. Therefore I connected an Audio Technica AT 20 SLA Moving Magnet cartridge with Shibata needle grinding. Now I am happy again, what a fantastic pickup . I confirm the ATs are great and very well balanced for our vinyls. The new VM range is very good from low to high, I love my VM740ML In the 80s I had this splendid AT33 and I have fond memories of it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Buck Sergeant had just come back from Nam and shipped his stereo back to Ft. Benning. Couldn't figure out where the smell of pot was coming from in the barracks so I walked down the hall and found the room. Kinda watched to see who had it. Remember the guys name started w/a Z but clueless. Seemed like a strange dude then one night he had that album on w/the door open so I walked down. First time I heard it and it sounded great on his system. Next thing I know he closed the door and pulled out a joint and offered it to me. Like pot? In the Barracks? Seriously? Talking jail? Ummm Nah! So he opened up the back of his big Sansui speakers and turned the light on. He sent back 4 speakers and each one was packed full of Thai stick, black tar opium and pot. This dude was NUTS but didn't really care about anything. He smoked every night until his ETS. Great album! hahaha Dude brought back his Sansui system from station in Korea. Didn't put it there, put in in picture frames of art shipped to himself by mail. After a couple of shipments, he was home when last package arrived. Postal inspector showed up. Found he had left package unopened. Came back again, the same. Finally after many months he opened as the 4 previous lbs of Korean highly manicured was getting low by then. They sure enjoyed that as it lasted along time, by filling a Meerschaum and passing around. No Nam for him BTW, like all the Stones music from that and earlier. Classic! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Yes @MicroMara that and the Stones in the funny Traffic-like cover and an original Papa John Creech like the Ford guy has! But those landed at my doorstep, this one I noticed before I paid for it a strange proclamation on the back of it "Digital"... a digital record. It still is remarkably clear for a live record... but a good sound team could do that like the REO Live was astounding when it came out to be so clear. Anyhow I was into RUSH heavily and they just up and changed, totally. That's when I found these guys. SAGA: In Transit 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Digging all the Audio-Technica love here lately. That MM cart you are using George is famous as much as the AT150 MLX was, you are fortunate to have a working one on hand! These new cameras show everything. Don't they?

JohnJ Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Atta-Boy @KROCK tried one with my old tt and it did not have the vta adjustments necessary to make it worth it. Amazon did take it back! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_flht Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Yes the dust is often visible in the photos of turntables, but not to the everyday eye, fortunately 😋 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 AT 140 LC here. Before that I think an AT11e upgraded to the 12S stylus. It still works and I have the original box around here somewhere with it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) @KROCK Had that tt only for a couple months, didn't work out for me at all. Ended up with a technological marvel on the new tt. This is the RUSH that surprised me and it took some getting used to for the hard-headed rocker that I was then. Love it since!

Then again since that first AT I got (early 1980s) with the micro fine linear diamond shape I have not turned back to a lesser shape. Convinced that is why some of my 40 year old records that survived the keggers still sound good! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
