Cat Stevens - Catch Bull At FourRuins 
speed controller for Lenco or Garrard
I agree with lewm if the sota eclipse is based on the Phoenix Engineering Eagle and Roadrunner tachometer. I was lucky enough to acquire an EagleĀ  from Bill for my Lenco and I can't imagine my system without it. Speed stays pegged at 33.333 withou... 
Feedback through turntable
I had a similar issue when I upgraded to the 3d arm. I would start getting a low hum which kept feeding back on itself and getting amplified. I determined that it had nothing to do with vibrations coming through the turntable and everything to do ... 
Turntable placement
Precisely my point Pryso. I spent a lot of effort and money on structural isolation but neglected to address airborne isolation until it presented itself as an obvious problem and when I did address it, the improvement was not subtle. 
Azimuth question
Yes. I saw Mickey's article. Looks like calibration is a must. Anyway, I put my order in and should be receiving my Foz shortly. Not sure when I'll receive my 3d arm though. Still haven't received confirmation from VPI that they got my order. Seem... 
Azimuth question
Thanks again. Your review of the 3d arm is what motivated me to take the plunge so I will definitely take your advice on the Foz. 
Azimuth question
Thanks for the insights. I have been thinking about getting a Foz. I also have a 3d arm on order so I want to make sure I do this right. 
VAC Sigma 160i MM phono stage question
Thanks John and yes, the ZYX 4D is awesome. My room is looking pretty sparse which is fine by me. I know I should just sit back and relax but I have to ask, is the SE upgrade worth the money and effort? Hard to imagine things getting much better b... 
VAC Sigma 160i MM phono stage question
I'm using a Lyra Kleos at 0.5mV as well as a ZYX 4D at 0.24mV. Don't think either would work well without a SUT or MC phono stage. Anyway, I did some listening this evening and can confidently say that I prefer the sound of the SUT straight into t... 
VAC Sigma 160i MM phono stage question
Thanks again for the feedback. I should be receiving the unit later today so I should know for myself pretty soon. 
VAC Sigma 160i MM phono stage question
Thanks for the response. This was very informative. I'm hoping I'll like the integrated MM enough to sell my Chinook and further simplify my system. The Hashimoto SUTs are really excellent so I'm expecting it will perform quite well with the VAC MM. 
Replacement for loricraft power supply
Hi,Just wanted to add that there is a long running thread on lenco heaven focused on a DIY speed controller design. I have an order in for one of the boards but have no idea when they'll actually ship. I believe the design is complete and now it's... 
SUT advice
Hi Pradeep,I purchased a couple of Hashimoto HM-7 transformers from Isao Asakura at SoundTraditions. He provided me with all the instructions I needed to wire up my own SUT and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm using it with a zyx 4d at ... 
Replacement for loricraft power supply
I use the Walker controller with my Lenco. It works pretty well but can't say it makes much difference to the sound. Really just using it for the convenience factor. I tried the VPI SDS and had to sell it. Just didn't work for me. The platter spee... 
tonearm + cartridge for custom lenco 75
Have you tried posting this question on lenco heaven? I have an l 75 with a jmw 10.5i arm and am very happy.
