Killer combination LP Tunes premounted MP500

I bought the pre-mounted Mp500 and WOW right out of the box it sounded great. VTA is adjusted top of cartridge plane with record down force 1.56 grams. But after about 20 to 30 hours the sound stage became so much better. I am re discovering my record collection. I liked the ortofon 2M Black too but this is my preferred cartridge. I listen to Rock, chamber music and full orchestra, all are sounding great to my ears.

Highly recommended.

LP Tunes Nagaoka MP500 Pre-mount

As posted by a previous reviewer, I found that the headshell is angled a bit uphill, so I had to compensate by raising the tail of my SME tonearm a bit. With just a touch of twist of the cartridge, it lined right up on the protractor and cartridge tracking is excellent. Sonics of the MP-500 thus far are excellent.

lower volume output?

Is this cartridge’s output volume considerably lower than of a say, shure m-44? i’m experience a good sound overall, pretty much what i was expecting, but at a much lower volume. i’m having to increase around 25-30% the knob to achieve similar results.
any comments will be much appreciated.
thanks!

"Bonded" version ?

I received the JICO replacement Shure VN-35E stylus for V15 Type III Series cartridge.
The sound produced by the stylus is excellent.
I regret, however, that there is no indication on your site that this is the "Bonded" version of the Stylus and not the "Nude" version also produced by Jico. I deduced this information from research I had to do on other companies' sites. I like to know exactly what I usually buy without having to guess.

A+ and great quality for the price. I depend on this company for all my phono needs. They are the best!

Clarity and transparency

Just what I needed. This cart breathes new life into old records, also minimizes surface noise. What a bargain!

Mitsubishi LT-5V 3 replacement belts

So glad you were able to provide the 3 belts for my 1983 Mitsubishi linear tracking turntable. They were shipped promptly and arrived in great condition. Now this classic turntable works great except I have to find a replacement tonearm lightbulb so tracking error problem gets fixed.
