| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? @rich121 I like the Oracle platter pad a lot. One problem you may encounter though is that the Technics spindle really isn't long enough. So you may be only able to use a weight instead of a record clamp with that platter pad. The pad has to be st... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @wrm57 @bjesien Yes. You need some power for that speaker and more than just 20 watts (but it has to have clean power; that 1st watt in particular) if you really want to hear what it can do. Using a lower power SET on this speaker is a waste o... | |
| What amp to match with Spatial Audio M3 Sapphire open back speakers I should have added if you have a tube amp or a McIntosh tube or solid-state amp the 2,4,8-ohm outputs, the 4-ohm outputs make the Sapphire M3's sing like no other.I suspect this is not correct. The reason is we have customers using our S-30 amp... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? Are you saying to replace the electrolytics with new electrolytics or use something else? These are right off the AC mains between the IEC plug and the rest of the amp. These parts are being used in the DC Blocker inside the amp. They should b... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? @dover Sutherland makes a wonderful little device called the Timeline of which I am sure you are familiar.The SP10MkIII can keep the Timeline's dot on the wall all day long with repeated playing of the LP uncaring of multiple needle drops. Control... | |
| Choosing a MC phono preamp for my new cartridge Are you saying that the loading with a switch is worse than loading direct with resistors in the circuit because of the electrical condition of the switch Or you are saying than with the switch you have not the the granular adjustment you could... | |
| Is LP distortion the record or the cartridge? Cartridge alignment is paramount. If the LPs are damaged, there won't be anything you can do. | |
| Choosing a MC phono preamp for my new cartridge I may have asked this before, but do you teach? No. I appreciate your comments; I put myself through engineering school by repairing consumer electronics. I somehow seemed to have a knack for explaining technical issues in layman's terms so I got... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I think the SP10MkIII is better than the new 10R because it has so much more torque. But a good deal of that was so it could be used for LP mastering and I suspect that was not their goal with the newer version. | |
| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? This site is new to me but I expect the negativity seen here is more of a exception not the norm. @tlwing55 This forum is really a high end audio forum. That's what you and @leemurray2007 are running into- a lot of the posters really are not getti... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? @rich121 There is a reason the SP-10 MkIIIs go for so much money used. They are one of the most speed stable turntables ever made. Your turntable is totally worth refurbishing and will be a worthy contender for state of the art if done properly. I... | |
| Choosing a MC phono preamp for my new cartridge Here's a few tips:If the phono section has a loading switch for LOMC cartridges, its likely to generate more ticks and pops. This is because the loading is for the benefit of the preamp rather than the cartridge (the opposite of what most audiophi... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong Technics is the curious case of feed-forward design. :) Kind of sort of. It depends on which part of their website you're paying attention to :)Are you working on any Class D amps? Yes. Its one of our own design- we're not using anyone's modules. | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative If you are worried about bass, get a set of Audiokinesis Swarm subs. The Swarm is 4 to a set; so you can set up something called a 'Distributed Bass Array'. This will prevent standing waves from robbing you of bass (a common complaint, often right... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong Class D feedback works so differently than linear amps that I have trouble believing the amount of feedback behaves the same way, but what do I know? As far as I know, feedback is fundamental to Class D. It simply can't operate without it. @er... |
