What is a Jelco sa-750d?

What is the difference between the Linn arms and Jelco sa-250s?
The Linn arms are normally 211mm pivot to spindle. The Jelco SA-250ST is 210mm pivot to spindle. The Jelco SA-250, SA-750D, and SA-750DB are 214mm pivot to spindle. The small difference in length can be eliminated by making a slight (+1mm or -3mm) adjustment of the cartridge position in the headshell.
How does Jelco measure tonearm bearing quality?
Unlike most tonearm manufacturers, Jelco specifies the bearing quality in the form of “sensitivity” — the force needed to deflect the arm in horizontal and vertical plane. 40 milligrams sound impressive, but this is measured at the stylus. Adjusted for the effective distance, this translates to 0.00008 N/meter (80 microNewton/meter).
What is the highest end Jelco tonearm?
Jelco has also made and rebadged this great tonearm for many well-known manufacturers like Linn, Sumiko, Koetsu and Audioquest. Perhaps the highest-end current version of this tonearm is from Ortofon – the RS-309 – an up-specced version of the SA-750L. The RS-309 sells for thousands of dollars, way more than the Jelco equivalent.
Is the Ortofon ta-110 a Jelco?
I’ve worked on one of these Ortofon arms and it’s really not that far removed from the Jelco. Ortofon also sells the TA-110 tonearm, which appears to be just a re-badged SA-750D, the difference being that the Ortofon branded arm is 1450 Euro – ouch!
What makes the Jelco hs-25 headshell so special?
You’ve got a dense tungsten counterweight that moves beautifully on the threaded end-shaft. The engraved, machined aluminium stylus pressure wheel is yet another example of Jelco’s meticulous attention to detail. The Jelco HS-25 magnesium headshell is a delight to use and of very high quality.
