I have bought 2 Dussun V8i amplifiers to by-amp my rewired AR9 speakers. I have found it from China from the vendor Ornec.com for $998., while the Mark Levinson brand Red Rose sells it for $7,000. ! All you need is a 220v to 110 volt transformer.I...

''The ST/STR8-150 is undeniably a superior turntable to the recently upgraded Technics Mark 5G, while attractively also costing around £50 less for a pair. Every major DJ equipment manufacturer now has some serious contenders in their range to tak...

I plan to open up the top of the table to see if the spindle part can be better fixed and possibly put some damping. I wonder if Keven from Kab has ever played with the idea of making a super replacement spindle made to a better tolerance and/or a...

...yes, reasonable...Well I just spent the morning listening to the turntable having put some silicone damping as previously described.Their is definitely more backround information,more low level information, more bass, a more substantive sound a...

I also got a puck. It’s made of brass. Under their are 2 rubber circular rings: one on the outer perimeter & one just around the spindle hole. This produces more bass and the sound is overall bettered. I also tried it on an Oracle with vastly ...

What cartridge are you using ? I had to get extra spacers to increase the thickness to fit the RB 250 and a VTA ajuster. Did you do the same?

Godd article. But had he compared the Technics with the KAB power supply and put the turntable on points instead of the standard feet, it would have made a world of a difference. The amaizing thing about the Sl1201/10 with the power supply is the ... 
Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable
Installation of the KAB power supply requires only removing the platter.You then remove the black plastic cover held by 4 to 6 screws.Then you snip 2 wires well indicated & easy to find.The new power supply grey wire is fed through a whole nea...
