Belt was lost in transit - they tracked it for me. Not their fault, delivery company issue. It arrived today after 30 days - fit great. Nice to have turntable working again after 6 years in storage.
All good. Was able to listen to some 40’s Big Band recordings. Music from before I was born is laying around. Will check out a box set of the Drummer Man {Gene Krupa} soon.
Better than other stylus of the same brand but tracks heavier than oem
This D5000 Shibata is better than the other vividline I tried. Better trackability and less sibilance(but not none). And to get there it needs a good 1.8-2.0 g of down force / vtf which is quite a bit higher than oem.
