I haven’t cracked open a TAS for eons, maybe I should. Anderson and Reed, I’m good with both. Lou for attitude, Laurie for pretension.
Swoon!
I do feel a bit light headed after that, I should let the cat out…
Hi All,
I thought I would let you know that the Sumiko Starling cartridge has been installed and all I can say is that I have never heard audio quality like this from a turntable. I am so happy with the choice and I want to thank you all for the help you provided to lead me to this final decision.
Thats awesome! I’m glad to hear that worked out for you
I wanted to close the loop on this related to the Luxman PX-101 turntable that I was restoring. The Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 cartridge, which the Sumiko Starling replaced on my main turntable, has been successfully transferred to the Luxman PX-101 turntable. Here are a couple of videos of the Luxman doing its thing.
Sheesh, the stylus does land with authority!
Good point (pun intended)
Looking at the service manual, there may be an adjustment I can make to rectify that.
I guess I know what I will be doing tomorrow.
Thanks for noticing that Ron.
That looks really sweet! What a fun device! How does it sound?
It sounds awesome. Not as good as the RPM 3 with the Sumiko Starling cartridge, but it sounds better than I suspect it had ever sounded before, given the modern-era cart.
