| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Man this is like deja vu all over again.....I spent well over a year researching the US cleaning thing and about 2 months ago had all my ducks in a row, took the plunge. I bought a cheap tank, 6L Chinese product that runs at 40kHz, 180W and would ... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird Cartridge Send it to Soundsmith as I did. The first time, they were able to re-attach one of those hair-like wires that protruded from the side of the cartridge that I tried (don't do this, in other words) to tuck back in the grooves on the sides and broke... | |

| Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question? Upon further review......After a couple weeks with the 500,000cst silicone oil in the cueing mechanism, I can report to you that this is definitely the right stuff for a Space Arm. As for cartridge, currently using an SAE1000E with a weight of 4.... | |
| Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question? Update #2......300,000cst did NOT cause the 9" Spacearm to drop slowly enough. I sourced some 500,000cst and that has enough "sticky" to do the job. I would suggest, if you want the arm to drop even more slowly, 1,000,000cst but HAVE NOT tried it.... | |
| Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question? Update, sorry it's taken so long but I just yesterday received what I thought would be the fix......not so, not even close! The tech at Hollywood Sound sent me some 3,000cst silicone oil, and I expect he thought it was 300,000cst. In any case, I... | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... "I've got a screw loose and I'm feeling great!"And you probably sound really, really good too!!! | |
| Turntable sounds so much better when... Many interesting thoughts here in the posts above.....the whole time I was reading I was thinking about the late Tom Fletcher, who many of you know was the originator of the Nottingham Analogue Studios fine line of turntables (of which I am fortun... | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II What noromance said......give Peter a call at Soundsmith and see what he has to say about the issue. Also, yogiboy makes a very good point, and perhaps you have already done so but lowering (or even raising) the VTA in my experience can really al... | |
| Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question? Thanks, Joegator81......so am I and I will report back as to what I find. | |
| Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question? OK, thanks for the kind responses.....I am just a bit confused at this point......everything I have researched tells me that this lift was made by Rega, and countless comparisons from images along with the maintenance info on VinylEngine confirms ... | |
| Nottingham Space Deck and Space Arm question? Thanks, Joe.....I have contacted HWDSound and spoken with Marc, who is a very pleasant person and quite helpful. As for the adjustment of the pivot set screw he did not really have a definitive answer although he seemed to agree with my method of ... | |
| Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners Sumiko Blackbird HO, SAE 1000 LC, Benz Micro MC20E2, Micro Acoustic 630, even a Shure High Track M91E. All sound good, some I believe a little better like the Blackbird which is what I am using at the moment. I'd also be interested in what others ... | |
| Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners When my friend brought over that UHQR of COTC I did a 96/24 needle drop and am listening to that right now. It doesn’t get much better unless of course you have a great copy of it on vinyl......🤠Thanks for the well-wishes with the cueing mechanism... | |
| Looking for thoughts from Nottingham Analog table owners Good point about the MFSL/UHQR......a friend has it and as good as my regular MFSL is, it is indeed a notch up! Happy New Year to you as well and all the good folks here on the forum! |
