| RB300 Mod -OR- RB250 Mod, Which you feel is better The rb-300's vertical bearings are attached on one side and the other side where the spring is attached only is attached by the spring itself. (I have dissasembled a rb-300 and seen this). I have not disassembled a rb-250, but it appears as though... | |
| Stylus Pressure Gauge AND Damage to Stylus? I use the sfg-2 and I have not found any accuracy problems like you describe, except to say that when mine was behaving this way, it showed me that the spring was binding on my rb-300. I would say that if it isn't floating in the same spot every t... | |
| The triumph of mid-fi High end companies are competing againt each other for your (our) money by building the best sounding equipment they can, whether within a budget or trying to build the best possible. They are motivated to give us better sound so that we will buy ... | |
| Blues instrumentals? The "Italion Chainsaw", Jim Mesi. A cd called 'shut up and play'. Disclaimers- if you are a guitar player, you may be sick. And if you currently take medicine for blood pressure, consult your doctor. | |
| bolting speakers to floor? If they keep getting moved, yes, I would bolt them to the floor. | |
| $500-600 Used Tuner Der, thanks Brianmgrarcom. I guess sometimes I don't bring in all my stations clearly. | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? If that makes anyone a snob, then we are all snobs. It can range from a proffesional musician who would state that he/she would never spend more than 400$ for a stereo, or a 'normy' who gets complete satisfaction with a really bad sounding boom-bo... | |
| $500-600 Used Tuner I just noticed that you failed to mention which late 70's tuner you have. I thought all the responces here are good, and great ideas. I got a lot of ideas from the tuner info site. There are a LOT of tuners to choose or try to find or mess around ... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? I regret not getting in this thread sooner. I had an idea that many a-gonners were musicians, but I am surprised at the overwhealming majority, or what seems to me to be. I have played, but never made the jump, I have always stopped just short. I ... | |
| Bringin' that thrift-store smell home while you're at the thrift store, buy some clothes while you're at it, then as you wear them and become accustomed to the smell, you won't notice the smell of you're records as much. | |
| Rega RB300 Arm Question? Yea, man it's normal. Often, '0' on the anti-skate is not really 0 because the spring is still attached and provides some force. Usually, the reading you adjust on the anti-skate should be the same for high complient carts, and about half for low ... | |
| Continuation of my Thread on VPI, Basis, Origin... I don't mean to confuse the issue, but the immedia arm I would think would merit consideration. Alan perkins used lyra cartridges in the design of this arm. As was stated above, you haven't really made clear which direction ou want to go. The vpi ... | |
| Motor for NAK 1000zxl ? I didn't keep track, so you will have to dig it up yourself- I found that by doing a web search on nakamichi that many parts were still available that the nakamichi service centers said were unavailable. Sorry I can't tell you where they were. | |
| DENON DL 103 stylus cleaning last stylas cleaner is safe, last stylas preservative is questionable. I am always open to the possibility of a cleaner or technique doing damage, but still to this day, I have yet to hear of anyone having a problem with the last cleaner. I evan... | |
| What about these newer "MDF" tables? Rega p2? I tried some experiments with plinths some time ago, and mdf is good stuff. just because it is cheap to obtain and machines like a dream can be misleading, when one thinks about the requirements of a tt. I liked it better than plain acrylic, much ... |
