| MC Cartridge: Elliptical; around 0.5mv; track 1.25-1.75; Affordable I’ll be stopping by Elliots with my Denon AU-320 SUT, a stock Denon DL-103 with about 100 hours on it and a retipped DL-103S with a elliptical stylus fresh from Steve at VAS. Right now the DL-103 is on my JVC QL-A7 deck and I’m running it through ... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r Right now I'm using a DL-103 on my JVC QL-A7 with great success. That uses a Victor UA-5045 tonearm. My current project is a two arm Victor plinth, it will be getting my Audio Technica ATP-12T tonearm, effective weight is 21 grams. I also have a A... | |
| Pioneer Direct Drives - Now and then? helomech said"It's a good performer in the objective sense, however, it does play with the forced-weightiness and digital-like glare typical of DD tables"What in the world is "digital-like glare typical of DD tables"? I also have no clue what "f... | |
| Buying a new TT today I don't always agree with everything that chakster says but I'm in agreement with his views on this. Get a new Technics, don't get on the Rega merry-go-round or some other table that is in need of constant upgrading. The turntables most basic requ... | |
| The Hardest Naturally Occurring Substance on Earth Just because something is extremely hard doesn't mean that a softer substance cant abrade it. When playing a record you have a single tiny piece of diamond traveling quite a distance just to get through one side of an LP, without doing the math I ... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? Why the heck do you want a cover in the first place? Why do most TT have covers or rather "Dust Covers"? Do I really need to answer that question? BTW, the dust covers on this size plinth don't hinge, they are to big and heavy. You just pick it u... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? Well my Victor CL-P2D plinth, dust cover and TT 61 motor drive came in today. Not only is it big it's very heavy as well. The plinth is in very nice shape, a real beauty. My armboards are a bit different than most I see. They are perfectly rectang... | |
| Visited a new Audiogon friend today. Elliott Newcomb I have made a lot of new friends because of audio forums. I have been to numerous AudioKarma meetups, sometimes at a members house, sometimes at a rented hall and even hosted two events last year with another member and friend. We held that one at... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? williewonka, I agree with the high mass approach and layered plinth construction. I should have my Victor CL-P2D plinth and TT 61 motor on Monday according to UPS tracking. I did buy the dustcover, probably have that by the end of next week as wel... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? I'm curious why you think the Denon plinth is better. I've not seen anything about the Denon plinth so I can't really compare. I know the Victor plinth is a 7 layer sandwich of wood and some sort of material in between. 70mm thick and very heavy, ... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? He won't budge from $150.00 and wants to be payed Paypal friends and family so the buyer has no recourse if it's damaged in shipping. Not to happy with that. BillWojo | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? Hi Elliot, I asked him for a price on the dust cover and he came back with $150.00 shipped. I assume that is Canadian dollars. I'll hit him up with a counter offer. Lets see what happens.Billwojo | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? I'm going to ask him. ThanksBillWojo | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? Hi Elliot, I heard back from him this morning and the cover is not included. Oh well, I'll deal with that later but it's not going to be easy to find one, that's for sure.I found a pic of the TT 61 with the cover off and board exposed. I don't see... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? Thanks Elliott, I just sent him a message and even included your message from him. I doubt it will do any good at this point as he should have my payment by now. To be fair, the add didn't mention a dust cover, I assume he pulled that out of the a... |
