| Anyone have a fully upgraded KAB 1200? KAB PSU mods are an easy recommendation as are the Isonoe Sorbothane Boots from KAB.Sarbothane or glass pads for Isonoe is not necessary. Isonoe is UK company, KAB is just a USA re-seller. Isonoe feet without additional sarbothane boots are fine, ... | |
| Looking for feedback on moving from a 1200G to a Luxman PD151 Again, if you want a reference class Luxman look for PD-444: http://www.thevintageknob.org/luxman-PD444.html | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed @chakster 3kg??? Many TTs have platters weighing 25kg, some much more. Over-engineered glitzy TTs with extra bling are one of my pet hates.I’m talking about additional platter mat and additional record weight, not about stock platter weight.... | |
| Off center (not bent!) stylus? Wow, things changed since 2016. When I asked them about Stanton (or even Technics MM) the answer was positive all the time, but it was 4 years ago. Did they explain why they can’t now? I have one spare D4000 stylus in the box, but never tried D40... | |
| Looking for feedback on moving from a 1200G to a Luxman PD151 If you want reference class Luxman look for PD-444 Direct Drive (about $3k without tonearms). This belt drive PD-151 with Jelco tonearm is definitely not better than Technics SL1200G. | |
| Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges Cartridges are not the same if you know a little bit about cartridge design, some cartridges are unique and i can recall many unique cartridges. Respectful designers do not copy other cartridges, even the way it look. I collect cartridges and have... | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? 'Chakster', I mainly use eBay because I have for so long. I attempted to use Discogs some time ago as a buyer and would find 20 or 30 listings for an LP title and 1 picture. @arisonabobPicture is on release page, anyone can change this picture o... | |
| Anyone have a fully upgraded KAB 1200? I purchased the rca cables to swap for the stock ones. No one can do this work, remove old ones, solder on new better quality ones, I won’t attempt it, consider me Tim Taylor (toolman) I would destroy something. There is a step by step tutorial... | |
| Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges For decades Soviet Hi-Fi was nothing but a very bad copy of well know Japanese and European Hi-Fi. We had a poorly made Soviet copy of Thorens, a copy of Technics and so on. We had simplified copy of well know speakers, radios, turntables, reel to... | |
| Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges chakster Just to clarify a point from your post: The meteorite material referenced is not stone, it is metal, and used in the generator not the body. Its easy to research these metals. Also basically all high end cartridges are made by an ’enthusi... | |
| Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges My impression is that Sensitive Sound is a serious company. If you like, you can explore local Russian makes for us, such as Sensitive Sound and NewArtVinyl mentioned by Elliott.It’s only your impression. Russia today is not a producer, Russia is ... | |
| Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges This is funny: “Each detail of the generator cut from a single piece of a meteorite. Meteorite is a unique material due to extraterrestrial origin.” If you want a stone cartridge body coming from space... there you go, nice for marketing :) Seriou... | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed @mijostyn The “sound” of a turntable drive is BS, you hear the sound of cartridge/tonearm mainly. The rest is speculations. Speed must be stable, period. Even very cheap direct drive can’t be affected by the weight of a record clamp. Not every Di... | |
| Sell LP's: No visible scuffs. Let buyer remove static if needed? I search the title in eBay and use SOLD listings as a guide. Why do you prefer ebay over discogs ? Discogs designed for music only, it's a discography first and sales option second, also a price guide, much better than ebay (imo). popsike.com ... | |
| Record clamp/weight and turntable speed Hey all. So today I thought for the first time if having a substantial weight or clamp on the spindle affects the platter rotation speed. It doesn't for me, as far as I can tell, but if not, why would that be so? It can happen ONLY with belt dr... |
