I have been searching 6 months for an sp10 or other similar quality platter/motor for that location. The TNT is too cumbersome to mo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Henry – Midrangeitis – you make it sound like a disease – this whole hobby is one big disease and anyone that has taken some time to read a certain percentage of these posts is afflicted with it whether you post here or not – actually the ones ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Henry - you said “To me, the midrange is the 'sine qua non' of all audio (reproduced or live).If the midrange is 'right', the rest are 'accessories'.......although the quality of the 'accessories' IMO, can explain the preferences for various co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola "My Basis Exclusive is a pain in the a. to change carts."Time for another armpod - for close to the price of a AT 7V you can have a self made brass armpod but need to do the labor of drilling the screw holes. Hearing music from somethi... | |

| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Hi TellefsenSince your experimenting with stillpoints - recommend u try 3 directly under the sp10 chassis. I was in your position a year ago. Cheers | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nikolamy parents were two generations older than me - i remember the no sex one clearly - maybe thats how I ended up with fraternal twins :( | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? T-bone – you made me spit up my drink. Does anyone here realize that when someone has a passion for something – if anyone tells him or her not to do it – they just get stronger and do it more. Hasn’t life taught us that? Sorry timeltel – no quote ... | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable Interesting thread. The statement about the Raven one retail $6000 being worth $600 in build costs ? - maybe I misunderstood. Anyhow - for those that experienced real sound improvement with a motor controller upgrade - I am willing to bet you will... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am relatively new to this thread. It was too daunting a task for me to read through all those posts - then one day I did a speed read - hit some - missed some - to a point where I thought I could follow along. Went away for a couple of days and ... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Dover - Yes I agree and that is what my post was about.maybe I wasn't clear.my post started by implying the manufacturer sold me a weight without a washer. 800 grams worth. It lifted the edges of dish warped records. The other clamps I describe al... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak One more story - FWIW A few years ago I bought a center weight to try in place of the threaded clamp on my VPI TNT. Did it make a difference not sure. It did look nicer spinning around especially when the light caught it. It also did make the di... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul – yes the 4000 dIII Gold - too many emails. Think of me as the guy that likes to travel light as can be seen by my nude sp10 and the tonearm that floats on air. That cartridge appendage came off right away as I saw it not helping the soun... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel - thank you so much for the Sonus Blue information. It is just as Pritchard described it in my system – super smooth. The info on the extra layer of plastic is reassuring. This NOS cartridge cost as much as a retip – or a tank of gas... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, That very high compliance sonus blue gold cartridge has proved to be a very nice cartridge and seems to have a ton of synergy with my ET 2.5 arm. I have however read a couple of reports on the net about premature cantilever failure on tho... |
