| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Henry, the goal would be twofold. One get a good ground for the Victor and two put a long pc on it so that you can get all that equipment far away from the cartridge and tonearm cable. Does that seem reasonable?Gary | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm: Where did you connect the third "ground" wire from your IEC plug to the chassis?With your ultra transparent casing you should be able to see what I am referring to pretty easily. The main circuit boards are stacked using hexagonal brass rods... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? As far as the mat goes. I have two needs: I want to deaden the ringing of the platter sufficiently, and I want to absorb the vibrations of the record without deadening the sound. Bad vibes and good vibes. That is why I am using a sandwich of lead ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? As far as the benefits of the IEC socket, I have three:1. Cleaner power to the turntable provided by a well designed and shielded pc. 2. A much better ground for the table and if you are plugging it into the same power conditioner as your phono-pr... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I am using a Merrill lead mat glued to the bottom of an Achromat. Very satisfied. Once you add on the weight of the ring and the rather light delrin clamp, the platter gets heavy but no problems. I am surprised no one responded to my fitting the i... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I just did a power cord replacement on my TT101. Sorry that I didn't take pics, but here is what I did:- I bought an IEC power cord extender - it has male and female IEC ends. - cut off and discarded the male end - circumcision but less painful - ... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables As much as I enjoy reading purely hypothetical arguments about how arm-pods of substantial weight and with high co-efficients of friction will move due to stylus drag.I believe that there are so many possible movements in: the tone-arm and armboar... | |
| Have you found reliable online used vinyl vendors? Got my second lp from Vinylrecordsinc (from ebay) and it was as conservatively and appropriately graded as the first. So highly recommended. | |
| Have you found reliable online used vinyl vendors? I was very happy with my first purchase from Vinylrecordsinc.com (a Muddy Waters album found on eBay). I just ordered a second album from them and I am confident/hopeful that they will be as honest and conservative in their description this time.Gary | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, I suggest that if you have or have access to an iPhone that you check out the Tesla app to see where the EMI is. You might not have a problem. Gary | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? ... Always happy to learn and share. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm, In response to your questions on 4/16/14 about the quilted material and the EMI shield I refer you to the "Nude Turntable" thread and my responses on 8/27/12 and 9/16/13, and the surrounding entries. Hopefully these entries will cover the gr... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Here are some photos - first without the ring, showing that the achromat is thick and allows for the ring: Without Record Here it is with the Jelco 750L (12")and a Zu/Soundsmith/Denon 103 playing a tune: From the topAnd here you can see it playing... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Just to add a bit of info to the reversal discussion. My platter (actually two layers: the bottom is a Merrell lead sheet, spray adhesive attached to a thick Acromat-by-Funk hard foam mat) plus the lightest TTWeights perimeter ring and the Michell... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks A couple of thoughts: I have left my TT-101 powered up continuously for months now. I start it spinning when I want to play. No apparent ill effects and no problems with power supply glitches that were starting to appear before I adopted this appr... |
