| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Is the tonar stylus body shaped like the x1 original, Nandric, or like the x1 mk2? If the latter, then you have a few more choices: jico makes a mk2 shibata replacement and lp gear has their own 'vivid line' replacement. I have both. The jico is v... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,In addition to philosophy we now share the misery of having broken a TOTL Victor cantilever. In my case, the X-1/ii (I thought it was clearly the best MM I had heard in my system). I believe both use beryllium rods. AFAIK, no vendor s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners New member of the owner's club here. I'm a bit confused by mine though. Do I need a special turntable? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nice post, Halcro. The discussion is timely for me. After 3 years of unfulfilled desire, I finally pulled the trigger on a phono stage with variable loading. In particular, this one. I bought it especially for my current favorite cartridge, the vi... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Let's hope you're right about Zaah, Audpulse. If so, it not only frees the mind regarding what we already own but also greases the wheels for future purchases. Thanks. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? ...I assume a really competent/talented technician would have the necessary skills to copy an entire IC, which is what he did.Even if that were true, it takes all but a compact with the devil to locate such a person. Is there a N. American Chris K... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? That's cool, Detredwings. Can you provide a link to your battery pack. I bought a battery for my LSA years ago and the differences were subtle at best. But the battery was suspect and died within a month. I'd like to try batteries again even thoug... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Jult52: I just use whatever came stock with the unit; no adapters needed. I do note that the cord juts out a bit when plugged into the LSA, but it is powering the unit as it should.Perhaps the Teradak people changed their stock cord? | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I've been knocking around the idea of getting a ceramic mat for the victor. I was concerned about its weight: 3lbs. Your report, Aigenga, is helpful to me; so, thanks.How do you find the perimeter ring? Are there any negative effects? | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Previously when the 'STOP' button was pressed...the platter instantly stopped due to the reverse current in the drive circuit....and then reverse spun for a second before stopping. This reverse spin was due to my removal of the stock heavy rubber ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I have more than five times the expense invested in my TT-101 over the TT-81....and would love to say that the performance difference is worth the cost....?Unfortunately (or fortunately)...that is not the case and I can honestly say that I can hea... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? hiho,The english flyer for the jvc ql8 has a small black and white pic of the tt81 motor. Take a look and see if you can tell whether it's a coreless motor or not. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? The specs are for both the tt 81 and tt 71, the latter's specs being in brackets. So, he doesn't say anything about the tt 71's motor, since that is blank.The only way to settle this is for Halcro to take his tt81 apart ;). | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? hiho:go to the 'specs' section of the page for the tt 81, here. For motor, it asserts: "FG detecting Coreless DC Servo" | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks for the links, Halcro. The boards of your 101 look immaculate. Did you relube the bearing? Antonis's design sort of looks like what Ct0517 has done with his sp10. He also advocates bolting down the footers. What materials does he use? Slate... |
