I think it is only a problem of calibration or a bad power supply of... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Do you trust the Victor engineers....?I do 🤗I've never lubricated mine. I recently overhauled the engine of the TT-71 opened to check the pivot and the oil, I was surprised that after 40 years the pivot was perfect and without any signs while t... | |

Hi all, great combination.I took my TT-101 back in hand two months ago, after the technician failed a couple of years ago.First of all, I eliminated all the wire wrap connections by switching to a practical plug-in plug-in system in order to have ... | |
| Cartridge misadventures In cueing up the record I snagged the sleeve of my robe on the cartridge cantilever and ruined it. The robe for meditations zen are extremely dangerous.Better dressed as a mechanic where the sleeves have an elastic. | |
