| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I know cartridges are a world in itself. I would just start with the most inexpensive MC cartridge that would be compatible with the Concept turnarm.The Denon 103r should work. Dirt cheap here. Plus one of the reviews of the Coincident asserted th... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Echoing Raul (and Nietzsche): you can't fly into flying. As someone with no more than one record, you understandably have more questions than answers. But, as Lewm suggested, the only way to get satisfactory answers is to listen to different compo... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill If indeed the stage is that rare to get on sale, then why not try it out--resale should be a breeze? Note that it won't work with your present cart, since the gain is too high. But if you want to play at this level, you'll want to get a better car... | |
| Phonostage with dual inputs? Jasmine stage allows 2 MM or 2 MC or one of each. In your price range. | |
| Nude Turntable Project according to this, it is a problem, Aigenga. I believe Lewm investigated these issues with his Kenwood.Sorry I don't have a smart phone but next time friends come over I'll have them do it.The symptoms of rfi and emi contamination that site articu... | |
| Nude Turntable Project There were no bad parts, just bad connections. I ended up resoldering all the feed thru eyelets, then flipping the board and removing the solder with a sucker, then resoldering them with much less solder. They all look pretty clean now. I know oth... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Lewm: My table basically went through all the symptoms you describe and then some. My tech reasoned through and tried testing many of the complex explanations. But in the end, we discovered that it was all attributable to bad solder joints on the ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project fwiw, I tested the cover grounded vs ungrounded and never heard a difference. I just put the ti shield there on a whim, because I had it and said what the hell. I also have cut pieces of it between the motor cover and the platter. Again: what the ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project I cleaned out my bearing as well. For no particular reason other than that Gary made it sound easy--and it was, sort of. My oil was also brown and unsightly. I used Mobil 1 20w-50 motorcycle oil as replacement. One thing to note for those consider... | |
| Nude Turntable Project believe me, Halcro, the second I read your report I planned on taking off the casing just to see whether there's the difference you assert. It will happen soon, but I just got a new cart and want to play with it first.fyi: my tt also sometimes (bu... | |
| Nude Turntable Project the exposed guts and criss crossing of various metals evokes a steampunk aesthetic for me. very cool Halcro. Looking forward to your impressions of the sound. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ecir38: I measure 3.75 inches. Roughly. I measured it 3 times and got 3 different values, but I'm pretty sure 3.75 inches is close. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Halcro:See top of page 22 of owner's manual for brake adjustment instructions. Basically: there are 2 variable resistors that are used to set the reverse current at each speed. Depending on how much 'leeway' is built into the resistors, you cou... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric:I would respond but I fear the NSA moderators; that and I agree with Fleib that we should leave such matters off of this thread.I do have a thread relevant question for you. I'm thinking of getting the audio technica 150anv mm cart. I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Halcro:No, I don't have the original pigskin. I could have gotten it from Tommy way back when, but at the time my Victor was in the same state Lew's is presently in so I didn't want to sink any more cash into it.As you say, he no longer has any... |
