| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Armboard with epoxy/bentonite will be too damped.. Frank Kuzma told me that even polycarnonate amboard would suck out LF from his arms. You can try epoxy/steel balls mixture which would be easier to work with and you should be able to increase lo... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please @tomic601 This is why I suggested DIY epoxy bentonite plinth. Epoxy+bentonite has much higher damping ratio than treated wood of DK300. Does triplanar sound much better than DV505? | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please @laaudionut When it comes to turntable SQ it depends on 1)cart, 2) tonerm, 3) motor, 4) plinth. I've seen a few comparisons when people did it right and matched all components. You can make an educated guess by comparing published specs. Below... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please @laaudionut In Japan they often mate DP75&80 with SME or SAEC and from my experience both are decent choices. There are other choices and it also depends on what cartrifges you have or planning to use. I like FR arms but they have resonance i... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Lewm, I used to travel to Japan for work at least twice a year and I had a customer in Kyoto (I don’t think it could get better than that :) who was an audiophile and he introduced me to a to a friend, used equipment dealer/collector in the area. ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I’ve got following DD tables Technics: Sl1200, SP15, SP10 MkII and MkIII, Pioneer Exclusive P3, Yamaha GT 1000 and GT2000, Denon Dp 75 and DP80 and a bunch of belt driven tables. When it comes to price/performance ratio I can’t think of anything t... | |
| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension Hi nandric &dover I’ve passed on NOS Japanese TSD 15 when I’d learned that EMT charges CFH 600 for dampers only. Yet I still need a cart for my NOS EMT 997 and EMT seems like a natural fit, especially considering shell design. I buy my analo... | |
| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension @nandric I remember reading a post in which you said that EMT TSD 15 is significantly inferior to XSD 15. Can you elaborate on it? | |
| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension Yep. EMT confirmed that shelf life of old cartridges is 5 years. | |
| Retipping Denon DL S1 @chayro @toobtube @big_greg Thank you for the advice. I think I was reading somewhere that Steve had done some work on DlS1. I was reading that Soundsmith lead time has gone up quite significantly. | |
| Audio craft AC 3300 on fly VTA Mine 3300 came without the micrometer so I suspected that somebody replaced it with the base from 3000. Thank you for the center block model. This is exactly what I was looking for. | |
| PASS INT 3OA how loud does it play? Thank your for the comments guys. It works fine. I found the reason. I had a problem with the cables that I used to drive Int 30A. | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Raquel, 802D is out of my price range and I when I listened to N802 I did not find that they were much better than M802, indeed I found them a bit bright. It looks like Contour 3.3 worth trying. Are they tube compatible (if they need a loot of fee... | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Hi Kthomas,I really mean Contour II. | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Hi Buff,I’m in Toronto and NC would be quite a drive for me.My listening room is not big (24'X8') but it's an open concept and so far from all speakers (Paradigm, Audio physic, Proak) that I tried only B&W M802 S2 did not sound thin. It means... |
