| Mint Best Tractor still in business? My mistake, Narticus. I assumed Yip would have the numbers for a table as common as a VPI. I didn't know about their secretive practices. | |
| Mint Best Tractor still in business? AFAIK, you don't need to measure anything in order to make an order. You provide the turntable and arm combo and he figures out how to manufacture the correct template. Nandric is talking about USING the mint protractor and getting the correct geo... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks for your confidence in my abilities, redglobe, but even with a very generous conception of possibility, I'm not sure I can envision a world in which "You could perform the work yourself" is true of me. I tried to make interconnects once and... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? You forgot to include the 'extra overcharge' and 'special undercoating' (seinfeld reference). I was quoted a much higher number by a very reputable tech to do the same on my less complicated sp10 mk2. But if that's the number, to be sure I would j... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I would offer to do the work myself, except..... I won't.Dear Lewm, this reminds me of what I used to say to students who asked for regrades of essays: "I would regrade your paper but I have a rule according to which I don't regrade papers."You of... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? hi guys: the resurrection persists. Started up just fine this morning. I'm going to take Lew's advice and replace the caps. There's a boat load of them in this monster though, so replacing all of them may be cost prohibitive in terms of tech time.... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I want to resurrect this thread with a resurrection story. I told my story of woe above and the table has just been sitting on a cabinet since last August mocking me. I was going to sell it for parts but on a whim I decided to plug it in and leave... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If one is still in 'the game', the cost of a precept 220 + 550 stylus can hardly be beat. I considered it last week when, like Lew, I searched around after the burning bush made his pronouncement on the 440. But then I looked at all my other negle... | |
| Analog setup - do it your self or hire a pro? Perhaps best is a hybrid suggestion: have the pro do the initial set up so as to set a benchmark, and then you can make adjustments from there all the while mentally recording the differences that you note and acquiring practical knowledge. Things... | |
| has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 Maybe I don't understand your description, but if you switched between a tuner and your phono stage and the problem persisted, that would mean that the problem is not necessarily the stage. Can your system play digital? If so, I take it the issues... | |
| has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 as Nandric suggests, are you sure it's the stage? 3 units broken is possible but unlikely. I am thinking of getting this but if you're having these issues, it gives me great pause. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have problem to diferenciate between 'loudness' and 'dynamics'. In any (home) listening roome there is a 'loudness level' which become unbearable. But I never experienced such a level by any concert( those with amps. not included).On my limited ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Can he conclude something about the locomotive with the help of an iron horse?Is this a test? Can't the 'primitive' conclude, if the analogy is useful, that the locomotive can move, that it can be used to transport, that it can harm me if I get in... | |
| Ebay LP Purchases I've had pretty good luck with eBay, but I prefer to get stuff from discogs. | |
| Cartridge Setup - Where to buy tools? Good point, Roscoeiii. In my previous set up, I could put the scale just beyond the platter resting on the 'plinth' of the sp10. It just so happened that at that position the top of the scale was right at the level of the record. Having said that,... |
