| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners dare takenMod a product of insomnia and inspired by Frogman's post about using wood and getting the counterweight further out. The one in the pic is 5" out. Can't recall the cart I mounted, but the distance allowed the use of only the main cointer... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? hi acman,You'll need to scan the doc onto your computer (as a pdf or jpg) and then upload it here | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hope this information will be helpful.Yes, very, Vyokyong. And motivating as well. I've been meaning to do this for quite awhile--now is the time? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? dear Nandric,When you wrote "You are lucky to own the original stylus" it wasn't true (I had broken mine). But my luck appears to be in good order as I have since acquired a NOS one--for a song. Here it is for those who want to see the tension wir... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? hi Griffithds,To be clear, I wasn't at all trying to confute your comparison between the Jico stylus and the original. In fact, I was sort of trying to explain our different experiences by pointing to the absence (or so I thought) of the tension w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,Earlier this year I ordered thee same Jico stylus for my x1/2. It does not have the tension wire. Did you special order yours with one? I had a brief encounter with the original stylus (until I broke it) and the Jico w/o tension wire do... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners "Why does the action of my ET2 VTA, resemble me Coming Out Of A Brothel at 2:00 am"lol. Can't wait to read that one. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? dear Nandric:Could you clarify some things for me:1. did you say that the jico x1 mk2 stylus fits onto your x1 mk1 body?2. and that it is a sas stylus?3. and that it has the tension wire?I'm asking because the one I bought is a shibata with no ten... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Either I jinxed myself with my premature announcement, or else I am fated to be with the LSA for the rest of my audiophile life: see here for the gruesome details. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Once I screwed it in slightly, the shaft went forward and the clearance/axial float of the spindle/shaft was reduced a bit. It still exists but just smaller. Is this normal?Mine does that.The platter now rotates freely now (no scraping) and the mo... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Doron:Platter height is adjustable via a screw at the bottom of the unit (where the bearing is). You'll have to take off the metal cover to access it. It is cemented into place per stock, but perhaps the previous owner messed with it. Scraping is ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I've been a long time user and advocate of the LSA. I never contemplated replacing it, but I wanted to try a new phono stage and ended up with this one. It uses what Sony called the 'zp-1 perfect balancer' as volume control (sealed, gold plated co... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? violin:If Halcro is right in his assessment, I should think that the victor/jvc tt 81 is unbeatable for the price and availability (yahoo Japan always seems to have a handful of them at any given time). Raul was very high on the denon dp 75, so th... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? fwiw, the manual for the tt 101 states 1.2 kg.cm as the starting torque. Just for giggles, I looked up the starting torque for Lew's sp10 mk3: a whopping 16 kg.cm. But the platter for that weighs as much as the entire tt 101. So both tables reach ... |
