Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s
Banquo - I agree with Lewn that it is worth fixing up the sp10. I believe it will only go up in value. Regarding this thread - you could link it to Halcro's. I will post further impressions of my set up there. Here is the email from the designer o... 
Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s
Banquo – thx for the feedback on my setup. Most family members think I am losing it so it is good to hear encouragement - thank you and yes the black button is a cover to keep it from being pressed accidentally when it was used in a broadcast stud... 
Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s
Banquo363 - great that you found a contact to work on your TT. With the ET arm if anything moved the distortion would be audible on the last track. So far so good. Lewn - the great thing about this project was it was cheap to find out if it worked... 
Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s
Dear Lewn I will post a link to some pics later that will answer your questions. It is all very simple actually. The flexibility to setup arms when not restricted by a plinth is huge. You can move the table in place and not touch the arm if you wa... 
Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s
Dear Banquo / LewnI can confirm its not the plinthless setup - that thread was my inspiration as well to pull mine out of the plinth over the holidays. I dont see myself going back to a plinth anytime soon. Too much flexibility now with arms and s...

Banquo363I have one of these decks. If it were me I would treat it like my car and get it checked out - don't wait for the problem to get worse.Put out an area location in LA on this thread and you will have members provide you with reliable conta... 
Eminent Technology LFT 8a's versus 8b's
Thx for the feedback Nels. Internet reviews are one thing. Its nice to hear real experiences. I used the following method to set mine up in a long narrow room. Even with the cone woofer the sound is nice very balanced. It is the only thing prevent... 
Nude Turntable Project
Dear Raul and Halcro – thank you for the info. Halcro excellent point on using a non-ferrous metal– I was so obsessed with anchoring the ET arm with weight that I overlooked that. Wish I had asked earlier. I hear no audible noise but my MM virtuos... 
Nude Turntable Project
Hello everyone and especially Halcro and Raul. Raul for your continuing posts to try out going plinthless (against what is the norm to use a plinth) and Halcro for your excellent experiment and what ultimately convinced me to try it on my Technics... 
Audio Research SP-8 or Quicksilver Full Function ?
Hi Exocet954The AI preamp is a very nice preamp for $1k. I find it is neutral sounding - closer to the sp11 in sound than the sp8, and it has a low level filter which is nice. When I bought the sp11 a few years ago I brought over my sp8 and compar... 
Audio Research SP-8 or Quicksilver Full Function ?
I owned the sp8. Have heard the sp9 - not even in the same league. I replaced my sp8 with an sp11. All reviews tell you the sp8 will float your boat. This is means thick, lush, beautiful sound. If you want lots of detail look elsewhere. SP8, 10, 1... 
magnepan experimenting
Hotmailjbc Any rectangular room is a candidate for focal point speaker placement. This costs nothing to try. I tried it with my Acoustat speakers with very good results. If you have the room to move the speakers around I think its worth trying. An... 
B&W 804S vs 803 Matrix Series 2
For the money the 803 Matrix Series 2 is a very nice speaker. Have not heard the 804s.http://www.soundstage.com/das_bw.htm 
Denon avr-4800 still a good receiver ?
Thx for the reply Elizabeth. That 4800 I found turned out to be an original owner receiver and in mint condition. 
B&W 803 matrix ...too big for my room?? 12x11x8
Bluewaxx - unless you just came up with 803 matrix s2 because of an ad, you must have heard them and liked them. Alot of people did. They are very highly rated speakers one of the best in the matrix line for what one paid for. 804's were the excep...
