| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? What you hear are all those LP playback distortions and not what is in the recording. Those playback added distortions never existed in the recording process. All what you are saying happen because those non-existen distortions I repeat: NON EXIST... | |
| Don't use this to lube your VPI Classic bearing If you want an excellent lubricant for all things turntable and tape machine, Dextron style automatic transmission fluid is an excellent choice. A few drops is good in any TT main platter bearing, and if you have to lubricate a motor it works well... | |
| Tube amp for ProAc Tablette Anniversary Traditionally the Tablette is a very easy load. I remember playing them with an experimental set of our amplifiers way back in 1986... the amps later became what we today call the M-60. They played very convincingly together! | |
| TriPlanar Tips I don't get the Talea thing at all. Every time I have heard one, they sounded light in the bass. The Triplanar easily beats it in this department. But OTOH, I say that coming from the perspective of having the master tape of the LP and was there w... | |

| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm I owned a Rabco for some time. I set it up with a carbon fiber arm wand, and developed a servo for the motor that actually worked. It prevented the arm from lifting off prematurely, skipping and also got rid of the servo activation noise.The servo... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? but there is no chance of vinyl winning the race over the long term, right?Not sure about that, and right now, I'm not sure that the major labels think that either. I think they are tired of putting out CDs and then not being able to sell their st... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spiritofmusic, yes, I looked through his online manual. Essentially, the motor leans against the rim so the idler pressure is maintained. The photos on YT show a rubber tire on the motor and the manual shows a delrin part. What strikes me about th... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Hi Mapman, I can't agree with you on the 'laboratory experiment' comment. We have a cutting lathe that we set up with the stock electronics, then we substituted a variety of amplifiers and did the same cut with each of them. You can take that lacq... | |
| Balanced vs Non-Balanced XLR? It is not always true that your gain will double if you run balanced- that has to do with the design of the circuitry, even if it is differential. Usually its to your advantage to use the balanced connection if the source is putting out a balanced... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Then the signal is trasfered to vinyl with all imperfections where does not exist a perfect cutting system, here there is several kind of signal loses: certainly what is in the recording was not what was recorded before all that proccess.Raul, I w... | |
