| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question I will leave it to Audiogon members to decide who copied what. Take a look at ads and dates. | |
| Where is Guido Corona? I exchanged multiple email messages with Guido since this thread began. He attempted to respond but had some issue with posting.Short answer from him was: "I am still lurking in Austin (TX), where I am enjoying semi-retirement since early 2009, w... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Understood and I agree. There are many plinths for sale that are nothing more than a cookie cutter hole in a piece of material. Hardly a proper plinth.As for Artisan Fidelity, their plinth is a copy of mine and I resent that. However there are oth... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question In my view any serious attempt to replinth theSP10mk3 would include throwing away the exoskeleton and motor covers and bolt the motor, bearing & tonearm mounting base rigidly to a common sub chassis to maximise rigidity and minimise any potent... | |
| 2012 Additions to Your Music Collection Whart, Regarding, "I'd rather go Blind." That single paid for itself the first few seconds with Brian Blade's smoking drum beats. Trixie's voice is a bonus, making this the bargain singles purchase of 2012.Thanks for mentioning this Belgium pressi... | |
| Brian Cheney I'm providing a link to Audiogon show images. These are mine and I should have the high resolution versions on one of my drives.Note there are links to other VMPS show dates and venues.Audiogon should not mind your using these for his memorial. Co... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question 12-09-12: LewmI guess I will ask another question and also bump this thread. Albert, did you have any truly objective way to know that the Krebs mods made a significant improvement in your Mk3's performance? Or are you reporting a subjective impre... | |
| pre/power matching? Biggest issue is tube preamp running into a digital amp, something with input impedance of 10K or less.In that case the highs are frequently rolled off because the load is too low for the tube output. The problem is made worse if you are using two... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lewm,Sonofjim has not heard the Krebs mods. His comment about Bill Thalmann mods and Dobbins mods referred to electronics.There are (to my knowledge) only two people capable of doing the Krebs mod. Richard Krebs in NZ and Bill Thalmann in USA.I ha... | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally Audiotomb, I agree, the LOVE compilation is the best vinyl recording of the Beatles I've ever heard.It's funny, members of my music group varied on their preference on previous shoot out sessions. A couple were like Fremer, pretty positive on the ... | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally Gpgr4ble,Within our group I have access to original Parlophone UK first press (certainly not every title). The German "Die Beatles" pressing. The new 2012 digital mastered version already mentioned. The Sweden red wax mono version and Japan pressi... | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally All this talk caused me to locate and purchase the '78 analog reissue blue box set. After I get them cleaned with my Audio Desk I'll make comparisons. The good news is the previous owner was an audiophile with a very fine analog system and all the... | |
| Calling all Panzerholz Aficionados Hello Aaron, The only place I use Panzerholz other than our plinth is the platform the two Vibraplanes sit on. The Vibraplane plus Technics MK3 turntable is quite heavy, nearly 300 pounds. Two 20 X 24 inch pieces were all that was needed and I thi... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Ahhh, three posts and three opinions. Let me be the fourth post and fourth opinion.All systems at their ultimate execution, direct drive is best. Between idler and belt they are almost perfectly split with dynamics and punch in favor of the idler ... | |
| Koetsu Onyx Platinum or Ortofon Mc Anna I have not heard the Ortofon Anna but assume it's sound is an "improved" Ortofon A90.If so, those two cartridges are so far apart in sound it may not be possible for anyone to suggest what's best. The fact you have Ortofon A90 (you mentioned in an... |
