| I cannot say enough about the KAB Concorde STY40 combo The original Concordes for Audio use (not DJ) were super-light — by eliminating the headhsell, and the ’mechanical advantage’ of a 9-inch arm mulitplying the h’shell’s weight. Ortofon included a different, very small counterweight with the cartrid... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? Yes, it will be the last you ever buy — if you never listen to any of the better tables you could buy. | |
| Stockfisch DMM Dubplate LP Stylus wear requires repeated play. With the music they chose, it wouldn't be a problem for me. | |
| Who owns/owned a Fidelity Research FR1 MK3F & what is similar but better Historical note, going back to Nandric's post of 04-25-2016 7:10am, regarding the FR1-Mk3 "F" compared to a plain F-less Mk3.I have a review from circa 1980, possibly in HFN, stating that the FR1-Mk3 had a nasty treble peak, which Fidelity Researc... | |
| What was wrong with the P-mount ? I've only had one P-Mount Turntable/Arm — Technics SL-15. It took every P-Mount cartridge I tried, from Technics to ADC, Ortofon, Shure, Audio-Technica. As I understand it, the whole concept behind P-Mount was standardization and ease of use — any... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? @Chakster You answered your own question with your 12-20/4:07 pm post. The Denon DP80 is a much better move.I have both the DP80 and the Micro DQX-1000. The Denon is clearly better — and the same can be said of the DQX-1000 vs its older, bigger, ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? When did 55 become "geezer"? | |
| MYSTERY DYNAVECTOR KARAT 23R Hope no harm done apart from material losses.By sheer luck. They broke in a 4 a.m., when my wife and I would normally be sleeping. They came prepared to kill. But it was a very rare night we were out at an after-hours jam, so they left the weapons... | |
| MYSTERY DYNAVECTOR KARAT 23R Thanks all, for the comments. Chakster, I can’t say VE is 50% wrong but I’ve seen enough errors not to trust it. The Karat 23R I have sounds very good, but it’s NOS so has to "break in" (or whatever a cartridge that old does, hopefully not "break ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Raul, I’m sure your memory is very clear, based on your reading at the time, that the hole in the SAEC mat is there to match holes in the LPs. Maybe way back when, it was cool to drill little holes in our records. I remember a time when I’d remove... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? "I will never puncture my precious golden age vinyls or expensive MoFi prints for such bullshit..." Best-grooveDrilling holes in a record label meant it was "remaindered" — it didn’t sell, no one wants it — and it went straight into the $1 bin.I u... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? RAUL disagrees with you, Chak —"That tiny hole at the inner position in the SS300 is not to fix it to the spindle. SAEC makes a research about and they found out that the LP/records tend to slide through a metal mat surface so its advice is that w... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? "SAEC’s SS-300 mat is aluminum, anodised black and then coated with a very thin ( and very strong ) teflon coating"The success of the mat is in its cut-outs in the physical design as well as the coating which stops ringing and is gentle on records... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? But that doesn't make the servo circuit go away. It is still there! It does operate with lag and it does perform corrections within the audio band. I just can't say how noticeable it may be. Some tables will be better than others, obviously.I ... | |
| Honesty is How This Tube Dealer Built His eBay Business I bookmarked this thread. Valuable info.Is this the place to do the opposite? I.e. report a bad experience with a dealer on the bay? |
