Similarly the linear tracking arms made by Bang and Olufsen or Technics 20 or 30 years ago are still very well designed examples of this concept although modern air bearings are a better application no doubt. One of the fundamental improvements has been the widespread availability of very high quality conductors for cabling as a byproduct of the computer industry and so often just rewiring older tonearms brings about massive improvements.Ĭertainly otherwise I don't think there have been massive strides in the design of unipivots comparing a Mayware or Hadcock of 40 years ago with one made today. There are all kinds of weird and wonderful designs like the Garrard Zero 100 which would benefit from modern materials I'm sure. One only has to look at direct drive originated by Thorens in the 1920s but only perfected 50 years later by Matsu****a. There are all kinds of fundamental problems with this approach which other tonearms like unipivots and linear trackers circumvent and often modern designers will refer back to ideas of the past which couldn't be made to work at the time but with modern techniques can be. I think we have to also mention that the Rega RB250 rules the roost upto a certain pricepoint with conventional gimballed bearings but these are only one approach to tonearm design (albeit the most common). Read a recent 'audiophile revisionist' review here Technics SL-1200 MkII turntable - īut I guess this brings us back to the idea of being able to swop out carts easily and another issue is that new hi-end carts which are a good match for the Technics arm are thin on the ground these days as well. You just need to match the cartridge carefully and a Denon DL-103 MC is ideal. "DJ" turntable idea with reference to the SL1200 as it is a far better deck than many so called "audiophile" ones under 1000USD. The Technics SL1200 is probably the best bet as mentioned. Outside of Japan they are pretty rare though. Jelco SA-750D | Manual Free Download, Turntable owners,service,schematics,brochure | Vinyl Engine Jelco still make one and this is the OEM for Sumiko and others. Most manufacturers dropped the standard in the '80s in favour of hex keyed bespoke versions if they continued to offer removable headshells at all. Im looking for an 'audiophile-level' turntable that has a tonearm that employs a bayonet headshell, any suggestions?īayonet mount is usually specifically applied to the common Ortofon/SME/JIS pattern so there are almost no tonearms made today that still conform to this.
