Nice what cart are you gonna mount that on?
Thanks!
It's still the Audiotechnica AT-VM95E. I'm planing to change it, though. The thing is, my TT had some undesirable behavior. I took it to the shop to be completely taken apart and checked (it needed the lube job anyway, all the buttons were hardly moving, it made a loud clunk when bringing the tone arm to the platter when it needed to start rotating the platter etc).
The guy said all the grease dehydrated to the level when it started to look like a chewing gum on a hot road.
Since we were taking it apart anyway, we went in depth and check every little detail, but were unable to detect the problem.
That's why I concluded that maybe it's not a fault, but simply a bad combination of cart/stylus/headshell.
What I'm doing now is trying to make the set up as close to the original as possible. Original headshell was considerably lighter than most in the market today. The original stylus was of low compliance that fitted a somewhat heavy tone arm.
The original cart/stylus is not being made anymore. But I found specs to be almost the same in Nagaoka MP100, so I'm getting that.
That's why I made the case about getting the original part. It weighs 7,5g and the one I had weighed 10g. and the lightest I can buy in my town is 9g.
