One possible advantage of the slightly higher tracking force would be better tracking ability when playing records with loud ocassional pops that otherwise would cause skipping.In any case, I ain't messing with it. At 1.9 grams it will stay.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it, as some sage once said.
I used to replace capacitors with Multicaps, rectifiers with hexfreds.
Sometimes the results were actually worse. If it ain't broke why try to fix it? hehe yes!
replacing rectifiers sounds horribly painful.
I used to read all the articles, all the new parts. I used to order parts and modify gear. Crazy. I know.At one time, I spent a whole Christmas eve working on my McIntosh amp, replacing all the rectifiers with supposedly better Hexfreds. The thing would not work afterwards! hehehe finally I got it running, but heck why get in such trouble?
All the money I spent buying fancy capacitors, I am sure it would have bought so many good LPs!
Older and wiser now.
tubes are not all bad. There are tube amps (even old ones) which convey what is important- the music.
My other, rather forgotten hobby. Collecting vintage Radios. LPs are now all over the place. They are slowly taking over everything. hehehe
Nice Radios. I see LPs' slowing taking over your space too. Mine are all over and equipment too. Speaking of which I need to check a free Fisher AKA Sanyo out. Sorry but it was free. Girl friends daughtor going to college. Came with 2 casstte decks and two CD players and a ratty pair of Fisher column speakers...but it was free. I have one of those big European table radios. Someday I will get to it. Enjoy. Eric
I like tubes also, as long as it's "she's a beauty."bwaaaaaaaaaahahaha.
but seriously, take my plinth, please.
nice look there, especially the vintage Brubeck. I have had the pleasure, honor, privilege, to interview Mr. Brubeck not once, not twice, but three times, and each has been more rewarding than the last. I can say definitively that he became a totally renewed man after the heart surgery, infused with vigor and energy, and he is busier than ever. (I still haven't had a chance to listen to his new "classical" or "serious" CD, but it is on my list.) And as for "Time Out," it will outlive him, and us, and everybody else who is alive now. The last time I was graced with seeing him peform, he did one of the finest versions of "unsquare dance" (from "time further out") I have ever heard. And he insists on being called Dave.......I guess "Mr. Brubeck" was his father.
So far I have only been collecting records for 3 months.
There are tons of Brubeck out there I need to get.
And I gotta stop getting duplicates of Time Out!
hehehe
It is an original early-pressing 6-eye deep-groove mono copy, in VG++ condition. The 6-eye mono copy that I have is a later 1961 non-DG pressing.It would be interesting to compare the two pressings of the mono Time Out elpee.
Off the Brubeck topic, but I'm also waiting on a U.S.-pressing copy of the Swing And Sway With Sammy Kaye (Columbia CL 561). I own a Canadian pressing of that same album, and it would also be interesting to compare the U.S. and Canadian pressings.
Happy analog listening,
why stop now? you're on a roll!
