| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed KAB, the folks that cater to the Technics SL1200 crowd with parts and accessories sells a very nice strobe disc and lazer light. Amazing just how still my rebuilt Victor TT71 platter looks when using it. Anyway, disc and lazer is $109.00 https://... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... @cleeds, it's plain to see that mijostyn5 has a disdain for anything direct drive. He makes up wild accusations and never has anything to back them up. I think his subscription to the 70's English audio publications ran out so he just sits there a... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... Yes, as a fellow Victor owner that's a really good deal on the one in Canada. Top notch drive, top notch tonearm and a really good plinth. I don't think it will last long. BillWojo | |
| blue light arround glass tube its risk? Some tubes are more prone to do this than others. It's from trace gas left over when it was manufactured and is being ionized causing it to glow. Usually harmless but can sometimes indicate a tube that is gassy. Have access to a tube tester? They ... | |

| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Well, my UA-7045 is straight but my UA-7082 is going to need the rubber bushing replaced. Need to get back on that project. I know others could use a new one as well. BillWojo | |
| 10 Inch Tonearms goofyfoot, I suspect that the SPU mono cartridge will be a low compliant cart (stiif cantilever suspension) so it will need a high mass tonearm to get the best out of it. If you put a low compliant cart in a light weight arm the stiff suspension w... | |

| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? "While undoubtedly proprietary, curious what adhesive or binding compound is used to produce a ZYX cantilever composed of 1000 pieces of CF composite."Carbon Fiber is just that, tiny fibers of carbon material that are held together in a epoxy type... | |
| Tonearm adjustments on the fly That treatment is nothing more than anodizing, a fairly standard finish used to protect the aluminum surface from oxidation. It forms aluminum oxide on the surface and that is not electrically conductive. The thicker the layer the more insulating ... | |
| Tonearm adjustments on the fly Someone earlier mentioned the Victor UA 7045 and UA 7082 tonearms with the adjustable VTA. It also has adjustable anti skating with a simple twist of a knob on the top and can be adjusted on the fly. To set the VTA there is a large knurled lock ri... | |
| Hardy cartridge Maybe you should re-evaluate how your handling your tonearm and the cause of your mishaps.Does your tonearm have a cueing device? If not, I would see what could be done to add one. I have added a Jelco cue lifter to my Audio Technica ATP-12T tonea... | |
| Pros and Cons of Platter Mass Never understood the idea of using a hard thrust pad. Any mechanical engineer is taught that one surface of a plain bearing should be hard and the other sacrificial surface should be soft. Hardened steel shaft running in soft bronze bearings or a ... | |
