| Home made turntable isolation Cylinderking_1,Another suggestion would be to use cork between the sheets of steel. It's much better than foam. Has good isolation properties but not the mushiness of foam. Also, cork doesn't collapse like foam might under continuous weight. This ... | |
| Cartridge / Tonearm opinions requested... Lasercd,Glad to note that you have taken the comments in the right spirit.Re. the W-B arm, I feel that just because Chris Brady didn't say anything negative doesn't mean that it will be a suitable match! From his website, it is quite clear that he... | |
| Cartridge / Tonearm opinions requested... Lasercd,May I ask what made you conclude that the W-B arm was going to be the arm of choice? Just a minor correction - Wilson-Benesch is a UK company & not a Japanese one (www.wilson-benesch.co.uk). From reading their philosphy of analog desig... | |
| mmf-5 again Boxingnun,I used to own a MMF5 & never had a problem with it.Like Rockinroni suggested above, ENSURE your 'table is level. Use a external bubble level i.e. do not rely on the level provided on the plinth. If you have a stock Goldring 1012, the... | |
| Review: Bluenote Bellavista Signature Turntable Just wanted to share this with all of you - I happened to get more discussion on Audioasylum & the key question I was asked was how this 'table compared to my previous MMF5. Here is the text of that post:-I used a stock MMF5. Thus, it had the ... | |

| Run Thorens Run ? Hi Agonanon,Good to read that you could find the manual for your Thorens. Indeed Steve Clarke has done a great job on that site & with the pictures. Thank you for your generous compliments! | |

| MM or MC cartridge..... My 2 cents worth:-As usual, TWL has enlightened us on the diff. between MC & MM (as he has on many other vinyl related issues). To Mythtrip:You can read an equivalent concise technical write-up at this website:www.airtangent.net (scroll to the... | |
| CAT phono versus SP-6A phono Re. the ARC preamps - yes, I'm finding out that the SP-10 & SP-10 Mk2 were some of the finest ARC SP series preamps ever made. Another data point from my perspective - I had the opportunity of hearing a ARC Ref 1 (connected to a Symphonic Line... | |
| CAT phono versus SP-6A phono Hey Blcube,Yes, I know Ozzy too + I have heard his system as well. Yes, it does sound excellent. Must be sounding much better these days after he put NOS tubes in his phono stage. I have the exact same tonearm as he does! You will have to agree th... | |
