| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Tsatalia, I experience that hum, and after testing the possible causes, mine is caused by the electro-magnetic field the motor emits. Like Johnnatais mentioned, Mario has found a solution that is in this thread.(For those of you I owe mumetal shee... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II If anyone wants mumetal to shield their platter as per Mario's approach, I just ordered some and will have about 4 sets of sheets that I will sell you for my cost. The kit cost $140, so each set would be about $30 (round #, including postage). If ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Ok, I'll attach it to the top of the plate. Thanks again - and for the revised notes as well. Chuck | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Mike, as I imagine an electro-magnetic field to work, the waves are not absorbed but are deflected by mumetal. If I am right, then the waves would flow out and emerge around the edges of the motor - still interacting with the cartridge as it plays... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Oregon & Jean: thanks both. I will try both ideas and let you know. The power of this thread is so formidable that when I was fooling around yesterday (with my wife's help listening) she was the one that said "you should post the problem on yo... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II In the original thread there was considerable conversation about hum that originates if the arm/cartridge crosses over the the motor. I think I am experiencing this.I (finally) took the time to experiment with this low frequency hum from my VPI/gi... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Keith Jarrett Arbor Zena (not nearly his most popular, but probably my favorite piece of music, and it's on vinyl); Debussy Trois Nocturnes, and a tie between Patsy Cline's Greatest Hits/Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hmmm. That makes some sense. I will fool around with it later this week and see what happens. Thanks. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi everyone - thanks to Mario and all the rest for the restart of this incredible thread - although from the looks of ebay, for all those on the outside looking in, finding a usable Lenco seems to be getting pretty hard. I have a pretty significan... | |
| $3000 on Analog system - how to spread? How able/willing are you to take on a project? If so, the huge "Home Despot" thread in this forum has a wealth of information about putting an excellent analog system together at minimal cost. Those of us who tried it have been very pleased. | |
| Warped Records I recently bought a Trinity Sessions - 45 RPM - for $70 and they were all warped. Does the oven method really work? What are the parameters for flattening them? Does anyone know a service in So Cal or a club that has a flattening machine? Thanks.... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Thanks. Very interesting. It'd be fun some day (this is pure fantasy) to have a show-down of the three formats (idler included). Everyone bring their tweaked, DIY examples, categorize them by some leveling criteria (price?) and let it rip. Of cour... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Macrojack, after reading this thread (much of which I don't have the background to understand) I am curious about a few things. What prompted the question to begin with? How did the thread influence your thinking - it seems to have done so if you'... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Macrojack, I built an idler wheel table from a Lenco and I would not consider myself to be a DIY guy (although I am getting better) - it's not that hard if you have the time to do it. You cut some plywood and MDF to the same size, cut out the cavi... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine Having built a DIY cleaner - and having modest but not abysmal skills - and now having a low-end NG, the NG is clearly better - easier to use, better contact point materials (where lp meets suction), smaller footprint, etc, etc. The main thing one... |
