| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? If Lewm is right, then Mr. Cheuk should terribly regret "throwing out" two (!) TT-101s. Incidentally, his site presently has one for sale for anyone who likes to live dangerously. [I have no connection to that site or the owner] | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks Clio, I'll look into it. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09: what's a jensen plug? I looked up Jensen 'iso-max' products but there is a legion of them. Which one are you referring to? Is it for diagnosis or treatment?Regarding lifting the ground, the only other item I have with a 3 prong plug is my ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Clio09: with shorting plugs, I had to put my ears to the speakers to hear the hum AND buzz on the rm10. However, I just tried it again and now I get dead silence. ???There is a hum emanating from the transformer when I'm near the amp. It varies in... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I don't know what it is (thanks Almarg for the explanation above), but I've been switching my short (1.5 ft) and long (3ft) interconnects as described above and I always get better sound when the short IC is between LSA and rm-10. Perhaps it's as ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nice story, Raul. A good turntable can bring family and friends together. My friend plays records with his two young children every night. Ever since I started with vinyl last year, house parties feature vinyl hour after hour. People love it, most... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Am I right in believing that non-ideal impedance match between phono stage and LSA results in a attenuation of the high end? Perhaps it hasn't bothered me because of my old ears? | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Both the mogami and the soundsilver are well under 100pf/ft. I wonder then what explains the dramatic difference I hear? Perhaps the difference was the length my tubed phono stage was seeing? Its output impedance is 1.2kohm, high for the LSA, I kn... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Grannyring: I've noticed a great dependence on cable length. Because of my set up, I have been running 2m Mogami cables out of the LSA to my rm10 and 1/2m Soundsilver sextopia into the LSA from my Allnic phonostage. They are both low capacitance s... | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I agree, Halcro, that the proof's in the pudding. But what does Thucan's and other's rejection or, at any rate, lukewarm reception of this tt prove?We lack an explanation. It might be, gasp!, the sound of the separate tonearm pod that explains the... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The interesting parts for me and this thread are his remarks about the self-standing tonearm towers. At least with his design, he seems unconcerned about the arguments against them. Furthermore, when he writes, "In any case tonearm and platter wou... | |
