WTT: I have TB 4" and Tympany 1" for TT cartridge?

[mpmarino]

Hi!

Would anyone be interested in a trade? My kids' new kitten decided to drag my tonearm across the platter and rip my stylus out! Anyway I have to replace the cartridge and I figured I'd try this before I ran out and bought a new one. No, I'm not looking for some top end cartridge, just something decent.

I'll trade a pair of these

and a pair of these


the tweets are new bulk and the mids are nice - but appear to have been mounted. The actual part # is W4-1052SA. No factory packaging on any.

Grados need not apply, I have a rega. Lemme know if it works for you!

[d to the g]

Any plans that used these speakers? I've got a couple of extra mm carts around here that I'd trade, including a Sumiko Oyster that's got a grand total of 1 hour on it.

Geez I know of no plans...

I would imagine there would be good support here on the mid - it's pretty popular and has a solid following. The tweet seems a good match too, slightly more sensitive. Both are '4 ohm' drivers and both don't affect my CRT screen. I'd use them but I'm into much bigger stuff right now....

edit:

a grand total of 1 hour on it.

he he, you hated it that much, huh?

My Rega doesn't mind Grados (and when i was selling Regas new, a Grado was a pretty standard install) ... i'll see if i have anything else.

I sold an awful lot of NAD 3020/7020, Rega 2/Grace 707/Grado + speakers of your choice (Advents, Bostons, LS3/5A, KEF... ) and it was never a problem.

You should check for wiring problems.

I've 'run the gamut'!

I even removed the arm and used it as a wand. The hum is a result of proximity to the motor. Definitely radiated. Maybe the motor has an issue ... dunno?

The tt has a Linn Basik plus mounted.

The cartridge that I just 'broke' was a grado black. In terms of grado I won't go higher than the blue (pricewise and risk) and the blue is just a better black. I'd certainly like to try something else....

Same as mine... i'd be using one of my black grados (probably an F1+ if someone hadn't gifted me a Garrott P77 (swaps/trade/bribes have kept the table to $100 expenditure so far and i'd be able to recoup that if i could find the Jelso that was originally on it.

At some point i'm going to rebuild it to accomodate 2 arms (have a nice S-arm off a high faluting Technics TT) attachment is now (i do need to dust it)

I think you might have to change your VTA to accommodate that LP.

sort of a coincidence on the arms tho..

And the 1st cut of the direction i want to take it (i'm going to need to shorten the front leg to be able to fit it on anything)
