Ortofon TA-110 vs Jelco
Posted by flood2 on May 8, 2022 at 14:10:02:
Has anyone used or have heard a TA-110 9" arm? They aren't cheap, but the modifications to a standard Jelco seem to have benefits based on measurements.
The reviews I have seen are enthusiastic, but they comment that the price puts it amongst very good competition. However, given that much of the competition (SME309 in particular) isn't available, the TA-1110 is still of interest to me.
The reason it is of interest to me is that I am in the process of modifying one of my SL1200s to accomodate a Jelco TS-550SII and the Ortofon should be a drop in replacement; although the Ortofon has a slightly shorter specified pivot/spindle distance this will not be a problem since I have plenty of adjustment room with the standard Jelco headshell slots and my linear offset jig will enable similarly accurate alignment.
