RE: Vintage Record Player Question -- General Electric Trimline 500

Posted by Crazy Dave on October 5, 2010 at 09:40:32:
The Decca was completly off of my radar. You idea is intriguing! If you do it please post your results. Maybe you could start a new movement in audio! I had thought that the electret, Microacoustic cartrige was in some way related to a piezo, and those cerainly were not record destroyers.

-Notice the standard 1/2 inch mount and relatively low O/P of 200 mV., which suggests small elements which don't scrub the HF info. out of the groove.

Point taken. I also noticed the one that had a tracking force of one ounce!
