| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? Well I talked to him and purchased it for $382.00 USD shipped minus the tonearm. I can't find anything about the TT61 motor assembly. I figure it's a much cheaper version of the TT71 that I have. Big negative is it comes with no cover. Hopefully I... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? I just contacted the seller in Canada about the TT61 with the CL-P2 plinth. I assume that the plinth will work with my TT71 motor unit. I have both a Audio Technica ATP-12T and a Micro Seiki MA-202L tonearm, both 10" units to play with. My usual c... | |
| ??? Wood Plinths: Layers: 7/2/1 ? Wood Type: Solid or Veneer or Vinyl Wrap wood look ? I'm watching this. I'd love to find a JVC plinth from Japan or Europe that has the armboard. I have a QL-A7 with the black glossy plinth.I have several arms to try out.BillWojo | |
| Identify this tonearm??? Anti-Skate??? I have a QL-A7 with the TT71 motor in it. One of the best tables I ever heard. The stock tonearm is no slouch either. Now I'm looking for another to build a custom plinth with a removable tonearm board. I have several arms to try.BillWojo | |

| old high end preamps.. Love my Audio Research SP-8 MKII preamp built in 1983. Has a great MM phono stage as well and is dead quiet. Build quality is extremely good as well.BillWojo | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Steve recently did two Denon Dl-103 carts for me, one was a DL-103S that he retipped and the other was a DL-103 that he potted in a wood body I provided and installed a new cantilever and stylus. Excellent work for a very reasonable price.Plus he ... | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions Mijo, please explain "Absolutely the Thorens if you don’t like listening to oscillating eddy currents and other direct drive artifacts." I need to know what oscillating eddy currents sound like.BillWojo | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 WTF? I started reading this thread and it wanders off into some bullshit crap that has nothing to do with the tonearm in question. Talk about thread crapping!! | |
| Metrum Acoustics has my headphone amp. How do I get them to give it back? Sounds like problems with Metrum started way before the current crisis. When you get it back send it to a competent tech with a good description of the fault. Crackling and distortion could be as simple as a potentiometer needing cleaning or a co... | |
| 6H30 tubes vs the others My first real tube preamp that I bought to pare with my Mac MC40 monoblocks was a Audio Research LS15 with 6922 tubes. I was really hoping to get some tube warmth from it as the MC40's don't have a lot. I tried rolling tubes and I got it a little ... | |
| Gaining listening experience without spending money I’ve made a point of making friends with people on audio forums. Living in NJ I’m not far from a lot of like minded folks on AK and we would have meet ups several times a year. I’ve gone up into NY state and down to rural MD and into VA to meet wi... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Thanks chakster, I didn't know if I would get beat up by my opinion but figured I'd be safer in this post than expressing it on a Rega post. And it's a daily occurrence if you read several audio forums like I do, either the need to update or compl... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive One thing I have found in common with all of the popular British TT is the constant need for upgrades. There are dozens of threads on the audio forums with folks constantly talking about upgrading the popular Rega tables. Did you know that if you ... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive "The problem with Direct Drives is a big oscillating magnetic device directly under a very sensitive magnetic device."Magnetic fields are easy to locate and measure. If this was really a problem the British audio press would have been posting abo... |
