Fantastic cartridge. I also have it mounted on a VPI Classic 1 and enjoy it immensely.

Paul at SoundSmith does great work, and re tipped my Blackbird.

I think my cantilever springs might not be working so well on my Sumiko Blackbird. Now the body is making contact with my LPs. Any idea what I can do?

First, double-check the VTF to insure nothing changed. If that isn't the solution, see if you can raise your TA. You haven't mentioned the TT/TA you are using, but the majority of them have some sort of adjustment on setting the TA height. If it is truly a suspension failure and you purchased new then I'm guessing that Sumiko will stand behind it for warranty. It is quite unusual, though not unheard of, for the suspension to fail.
Paul or Peter? Thought Peter did all retips.

I had one previously on a Scout and loved it. Used a Sutherland PH3D at that time. As always, I got restless and "upgraded" only to find I missed the Blackbird. Hoping the built in phono stage in the Luxman will do it justice. By all accounts I can find, it is a great built in phono pre. I am selling my Simaudio Moon 310LP and it's the second one I've purchased. I just love the idea of having less boxes and cables. In all honesty I think I have a bit of Audio OCD and the less cables/connections in the system, the less I can wonder what something else would sound like. Self preservation I guess. ;-) |

Just curious as to why not use a Liquid Cleaner such as Clearaudio Diamond Elixir ? image-1170250094.jpg Sent from my iPhone using A.Aficionado |

I used a Blackbird HO on my SSM for years and was very happy with it… until I heard various Lyra models on it, which were like night and day.
(FWIW I went first to the Kleos then to the Atlas.) |
