| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I emailed 4 techs about my problem and after initial confidence and enthusiasm they've backed off--after I sent them the service manual.I snooped around and googled some of the IC part numbers, and all the ones I looked up are available from vario... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi Halcro:"With the Technics SP10 models (as Chris has shown)..... it is possible (and preferable) to fit custom long tube spikes to the underside of the platter surround itself whereas it is exceedingly difficult to do with the Victors?"I just re... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Evidently, I didn't express myself clearly, but let me try again. The springs don't go directly beneath the turntable cage but rather below whatever platform the tt sits on, in my case a sandbox. The weight of the tt + platform results in the spri... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro and Gary:In this thread (here), dgad and dgarretson suggested using springs underneath the platform that supports the tt. The thought was that one could control the frequency at which the platform moves by calculating the load on the spring... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks, guys. Financially, it's no big deal. What's really annoying is that, since I sold my last table in anticipation of getting a functioning Victor, I'm back at square one. The tt81 is a thought, but since reading the praise of the tt101, I do... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Because of their complexity however.......if they malfunction.....parts are 'unobtanium'....and they often cannot be repaired.This is Halcro's original premise and sadly I now have personal experience confirming its truth.I longed to live dangerou... | |
| Can you believe this? Life is priceless with or without a turntable. If you have evidence to the contrary, please let me know.Dear Lewm,the audiophile is evidence of life's futility: he longs for what he can't have, live sound reproduced through his speakers.For a thou... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I used blu-tac on mine at first but then decided to super glue it for the ultimate commitment. It sounded very different. I'm uncomfortable with making any causal claim as, amongst other things, I also took off the stylus guard after gluing. As I ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Welcome to the nuded tt-101 club. Ct0517 (Chris) has explicit written instructions on how to build a pod like the one you describe. I'm sure he'd be happy to email you a copy. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? a Nandric-type post: 'all X's are F's' does not imply 'all F's are X's'. To wit: 'All romantic carts are long cantilevered' does not imply 'All long cantilevered carts are romantic'. I agree with Raul otherwise that the long cantilevered 20ss is a... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro: yes, difficult to find but patience pays off. Mine is cosmetically in very fine condition--but there are speed problems. I bought it so I could test your theory about vintage direct drives and 'living dangerously'. That and it was just too... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Ingenious DIY work Aigenga. I too would like to have Halcro's pod, but if I recall he had a friend do the casting, which casting would have otherwise cost mucho dinero (not to mention the difficulty of locating such a person in the first place). W... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Well deserved. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hopefully someone on this thread bought the mf 300 stylus I saw on ebay last night ($45!) and is now gone. I didn't think about the possibility of sending to Axel as Raul suggests.Dear Nandric: I have no friends except my cartridges and I fear som... | |
