My personal journey to MY SONIC LAB

[engadin]

Gentlemen, may I ask for your advice regarding tonearm cables suitable for MYSL cartridges in this new thread?

Tonearm cable recommendations wanted for MY Sonic Lab ( low impedance ) cart! Maybe RSX beyond?

Reassembling my Basis turntable and AirTangent 10b arm with MY Sonic Lab Hyper Eminent, I do consider a replacement for my current Hul MC silver tonearm cable. This new cable definitely must be flexible not to ruin the Basis’ great suspension system and must be suitable for low impedance carts...

I tried a new Furutech Project V1 Phono cable (DIN) and was just blown away by the sonic improvements. The clarity and weight along with detail to die for.

Another dumb question:
Cartridge screws for MY Sonic Lab are 2.6mm?

It should be 2.5mm as a standard with all cartridges. Some (might) differ though.

Well, yes, most are 2.5mm, some are 2.6mm.
Are you sure MYSL are 2.5mm?

I have found the best sounding screws are titanium. I use them from Acoustical Systems - Titanium SMART Screws. They don't list thread size but pretty sure they are 2.5mm

I can also confirm they are standard 2.5 mm

Hi Johan, yes still going strong

Hmmm.
All Techdas and Yamamoto Titanium screws I found are 2.6mm.
I will look for Grade 5 6Al-4V M2.5 Titanium screws.
Recommendations?

Ok titanium, I always found Ortofon copper screws to be the best

They conform to Japanese standard for screw pitch. They don’t screw into metric nuts. I couldn’t install Techdas titanium screws to Benz cartridges but no problems with Kondo IO-M.
