    Quick fun Q - In Japan - should I pick up a new cartridge while here?

    I never see Hana in Tokyo/Osaka .. I highly suspect its an OME product made solely for the oversea market. I actually raised this question a few years back. You can go to Yod, website. Just use the search function in English.. https://www.yodobashi.com/?word=Phasemation...

    Yodobashi will match price if you find cheaper price .. make sure you check other stores price like Bic camera .. have fun shopping. You can email them a few days ahead and reserve the item. My post pandemic trip last yr found some stores out of inventory and it take a day or 2 to order. BTW...

    Buy the MP-500 (if thats what you fancy) and a replacement stylus as they have good price on it too. I go to Japan once every 3 yrs and I always p/u a cartridge there. Make sure you go to a store that offer duty free service and bring your passport.

    Elliptical?

    I am surprise the cantilever will bent like that without totally breaking in 2 halve. I had a accident last week where I drop a 10g MC cartridge without protection on the carpet floor. It actually bounced once but luckily nothing was damage. Almost had a heart attack.

    LP 12 motor/belt issue

    It still would not hurt to clean the belt, pulley and inner platter I just did that .. I did it with lens cleaner although I have isopropyl alcohol .. I thought it was a bit too abrasive .. anyway I take that for future consideration. Other than that, it sounded very good and I was a bit...

    LP 12 motor/belt issue

    Why would you even post on a forum? If it’s new what did your dealer suggest when you called them? I want to make sure I didn't miss anything before I call them. I hate taking the TT back to the dealer in this busy shopping season .. traffic is a mess .. sorry if it offended you.

    LP 12 motor/belt issue

    Cleaned the belt and pulley yet? no, its a new unit, everything is new. Less then 60 hrs usage. Stick the outer platter on upside down and have a squint at it whilst starting up .. done that once, it works as intended. This slippage only happens once in a while.

    LP 12 motor/belt issue

    I just bought a new LP12 and every 15 play or so, the motor or belt won't start properly, it just won't engage...I can hear the motor running. I just give the platter a slight push and then it will start spinning. I had a LP12 in the 80s and this never happened. Is this thing defective?

    Early LP12

    Thanks Sondeknz for the advise. Based on YouTube videos, the new LP12 does not have any live connections/exposed circuit board on its underside. Even the built-in P.S has its own metal casing and is connected to the outside via an IEC plug. So I guess its a lot safer to go bottomless on the new...

    Early LP12

    ''I have not used a baseboard in decades'' I am very interested in not using the baseboard. I heard about this arrangement back in the 80s. However, the Majik LP12 has an aluminum baseboard and has a ground cable connected to the power supply casing. I assume the aluminum baseboard acted as a...
