| Nude Turntable Project Jelco arms resemble vintage equipment. The SA-750 comes in a 12" version that would overcome the spindle-to-pivot issue. I'm currently playing with a SA-750D (9" version) that sounds pretty good with a Lyra Clavis Da Capo. | |
| Best phono amplification for my setup ? My personal preference is for Herron electronics. There is a very good line stage with a phono input option. I have not heard it myself but it's supposed to be quite good. I've used Herron equipment for a long time with a VPI HW-19 MK3, FT-3 and a... | |
| Nude Turntable Project At least you have the wherewithall to understand what you need and how to get it. Go for it, it's a great project!I'm watching with interest and have similar thoughts about trying a nude direct drive table set-up. | |
| Best phono stage amp for rega P5? If it works good for you, then that's all that counts. | |
| Best phono stage amp for rega P5? Herron VTPH-2. | |
| How important is Cartridge Overhang? Need help It sounds like the arm was positioned using effective length from spindle to pivot instead of spindle-to-pivot length (eff. length minus overhang). | |
| Need some help with setting up a Lyro Delos Change the Project II SE setting to MC, keep it plugged into the AUX input and start with the volume turned down on your pre-amp. Work it up to a normal listening level. That should get you close. | |
| Need some help with setting up a Lyro Delos What kind of transformer? Are there taps that allow for lower gain? What kind of pre-amp? Try running the Project II SE into the AUX pre-amp inputs. Use the MM settings on the Project II before you try the MC. When you get around to trying the MC ... | |
| VPI TNT Super Platter Isn't that the same platter as the HW-19 Mk4 upgrade? IIRC, that upgrade is still available. | |
| Which tonearm? Just use your existing one as a template. | |
| Which tonearm? Ditto the Jelco. I've been playing around with a 750D for a little while and it performs quite well. Just to provide an additional option, the Micro Seiki MA-505 seems quite good also, maybe a step up from the Jelco. The MS arm would require a dif... | |
| Cartridge for Jelco SA750D Arm effective mass of 18gr would seem a little high for either cart. I've tried an OC9ML and Clavis Da Capo, both low compliance mc carts, on the 750D with good results. | |
| best cartridge under $500 Have you considered any of the Soundsmith cartridges? | |
| Immedia RPM 2 vs Clear Audio Emotion cmb I think when Allen Perkins designed and voiced the RPM table and arm, he probably used Lyra carts (he was / is the Lyra distributor). They work particularly well on that table / arm combo. One point of caution. Make sure the platter is lifted slig... | |
| Second break-in for Clavis De Capo? It's coming in after about 10 hours. Looks like it might be a "low rider" Lyra. Body barely clears the record surface with 1.7g VTF. |
