| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I want to clarify things about Technics SP-10 mkII:-You don’t need that old and fragile obsidian plinth at all, you can make a bigger custom plinth with many blank armboards for whatever tonearm (including 12 inch) with any diameter of the mountin... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I think the FR64fx is built just like an FR64S, only with lighter materials, but for sure the FR64S is a dynamic balance tonearm, not a static balance type.Right @lewm Same dynamic balance spring can be found if "FX" models. What’s new in 66 FX se... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms I’m gonna refresh the grease in my FR-66fx by myself, luckily the access to the side spring (for dynamic tracking force) is open on my sample (because of the dried glue). After a conversation with Nandric I decided not to “upgrade” anything in my ... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms Disassembled FR-64s by Thomas Schick (Germany) and his opinion about it. READ HERE | |
| EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history. I think those new EMT are more popular in Europe than in North America | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback I think it's absolutely crazy thread, sorry. -Use MONO record to check the imbalance.-Make sure to buy TEST LP for stereo test (it will help you to understand what's going on).-Use different stereo LPs to make sure what you're hearing. | |
| New Zirconia Pipe Cantilever .. What's up with that ? Everything depends on a context of the post from a new poster (and from the old posters too). This thread is about cantilevers in general and about one particular new kind from Namiki. | |
| Anyone here have experience with the Denon DP-35F? It's a matter of personal taste, some cartridges are just better than others, some are unknown, some are too old, some are new. If your price is just about $300 then Stanton 881 or Pickeing XSV/3000 are just great and better than others in my opin... | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback Yes if you swap one cable, left goes to right and right goes to left, but if you switch two sets of cables. you are back to the proper side but using the opposite side of the amp or preamp. There are no rules for using the left side channel of an ... | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback even if I do find phase or polarity problems, how would I go about adjusting those? Your cables have color code, equipment have L/R marks and color code, cartridge pins have color code too. If you made a mistake once then everything else is wro... | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback So I’ve been having a slight channel imbalance for awhile now. Vocal tend to lean left and just overall left leaning gain.Some records recorded this wayI swapped the L&R input on the phono preamp and it sounds way more balanced. If you pre... | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback You can swap whatever you want, but if you’re listening to a stereo source then your Left speaker is L channel and your right speaker is R channel, just like on the master. There is a simple test on any test record, the voice recorded on LP will t... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree TDK or Maxell? Nikon or Canon ? | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? You can buy new IKEDA VTA base, it’s the same. The original B-60 is old and very hard to find (even replica). | |
| Channel imbalance with turntable playback You need a Test Record to check channel orientations, phase and polarity. Look for Cardas Test LP or Hi-Hi News Test LP. There is only one right position for all cables in your system from cartridge lead wires to your speaker cables. You have to c... |
