No idea how it sounds as I’m between systems at the moment. Now to put the cart through the Fozgometer kindly lent by @Tubularbells. jakeyb77 - seems we have similar tastes other than tube amps!

mloutfie Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Bring it out from the bench dynavector karat 17d2 such a relaxed but really detailed cartridge. Running on sp10 mk2 with a highly modified rega rb300. Still one of the hardest cartridge I have to setup Edited March 26, 2020 by mloutfie 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still one of the hardest cartridge I have to setup I have the 17d3 and when I first brought it home I thought I was dudded - couldn’t see the cantilever. At 1.7mm it is tiny. Best set up by someone with good eyesight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful P Mounts You bought 3 x SL10's? still have them? I guess a lot of people who owned the SL-10 did not quite look after the linear tracking table. a pretty good cart. 11 minutes ago, PKay said: What arm did you use with the cart? Hi Peter, Technics SL1000Mk3D tonearm - P mount version of the EPA-100 mk2 specifically made as the top dog Technics table back in 1981. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely both wonderful phono pres for the money, but the 834P is just so much more musical, engaging, spacious and of course gorgeous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best carts ever made. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I too have a dead 310MC (was hoping it was repairable to complete my SL10) alas the tragedy is, I have been told they are destroyed by any attempt to open them. Not sure why so many of them developed open circuit faults, seems unlikely to be all down to "bad handling". Wonder what people have found to be the next best thing for the SL10? P100CMk4 sounds like something even better and even harder to find. Cheers Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely you will ever find a P1000MK4 as they are rare as hens teeth these days. I have had mine for just on 10 years now, so it's only used sparingly as replacement stylus are no longer available.
