| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? @nandric The case is that I think that you are much younger than I (and Lew) but i have no idea how old you are. I am also sorry that you are not a friend of Putin. Poor me I never had a rich friend. That is my ’ fate’’; I come from a poor countr... | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? Yeah, active headamp or pre-preamp is nother option, for example ZYX headamps are unique, read Arthur Savlatore’s review of ZyX CPP-1 online. Now upgraded version available. ZYX cartridges are about 0.22-24 mV and inpedance is about 2-4ohm. Accord... | |
| JVC tt-101 repair Bill does not fixed Lew’s turntable, you’d better contact Dave Brown if you’re in US. His rates are simply $25/hour and that includes time for packing and shipping. He has fixed tt-101 and tt-81, find his contacts on hus website: modularsynthesis.... | |
| JVC tt-101 repair @lewm some people simply charge per hour for the tt-101 repair work, others just stated $1k estimate (but they already know it's not simple). | |
| NAME SOME RARE AUDIO ITEMS THAT DID NOT TAKE OFF BUT SHOULD HAVE & WHY.HERE'S MY LIST I think you should not use Caps Lock on your keyboard for thread title. It's getting annoying | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? @nandric it's much better to have a friend in Japan than to be a putin's friend when it comes to high-end audio. My dad passed away two years ago, sadly, but he was the one who covered the cost of my very first soviet hi-fi when i was a teenager i... | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? Even Ortofon Century MC designer Leif Johannsen himself has been using SUT with his flagship cartridge, just watch this video on 18:22 when he’s talking about it. If the Orotfon mastermind is not against SUT at all after 100 years of experience, w... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? @nandric As far as I know only Raul owns the biggest kind. I am not sure if those are your AT616. They are, i have 8 of them in mint condition. The best AT footers ever made, same as Raul's, 4 of them supports up to 60kg. They are not for sale... | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? @korakotta it’s up to you, but very well shielded unbalanced phono cables (if they are under 1.5 meters) does not produce any noice. But if the cartridge has extremely low output and the phono is not top-notch you can hear some hum. For example ch... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? I don't have my plinth anymore, this is how it looks "naked" on very special AT616 Pneumatic Suspension Insulators, 4 footers designed to hold the weight up to 60kg and turntable can be leveled perfectly. I saw smaller model of AT footers under yo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @bill_k The following video interview with Ortofon's Leif Johannsen covers the design of the new Century cartridges, including the new Concorde Century starting at the 25:10 mark. He goes into some detail of its design and explains that it uses ... | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? Why you’re so concerned about balanced connectors ? If your cable is not longer than 3 meters you don’t have to worry about it, most of the cables are easier to find/buy unbalanced with RCA and most people use it like that (1 meter or 1.5 meters).... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The disadvantages of the Concorde style cartridges is that no one can adjust them, twist them etc according to the different protractors and different tonearms without changing the pivot to spinde distande of the arm. There is no overhang settings... |
