| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Thanks for confirming that, Doug, about the motor pod differences. That is the conclusion I reached based on what I remember your Teres motor pod to look like. With the Galibier motor I find that if I go real tight with the belt it will almost imm... | |
| Looking for ACCURATE SPEED turntable/tonearm combo With the quality of many used records today I won't be spending $5,000 on an analog rig. I have over 2000 used LPs and I have no idea what you mean here. Yes, even from Sleaze-Bay. There are the occasional trashed LPs in the used bins. However, my... | |
| Cartridge, Preamp advice: Bottlehead Seduction? If you're the least bit handy I think you'll pick up the soldering pretty quick. Here are four suggestions:1) Get a GOOD soldering station. One with temp control. You can find Wellers on Ebay for pretty good prices. Expect to pay $150 or so. It is... | |
| Cartridge, Preamp advice: Bottlehead Seduction? I think you'll be very happy with the Seduction. If you go to the main page at AudioAsylum you'll find a Bottlehead Forum, unless you've already found it. Search or post the question over there and you'll get many recommendations for cartridges. A... | |
| Mint Tractor I confess. I can't get myself around the platter without nudging the platter or mirror. So tape will be employed during the Minting process on my table. Try spending at least 5 minutes getting the overhang set correctly on the protractor surface, ... | |

| Which Record Cleaning Machine? If he will be using this in his store then he may be cleaning quite a few LPs at any one time. He will need to address the issue of potential cross-contamination. He will also want to avoid chasing out any customers due to the noise of a vacuum sy... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea & Modwright SWP 9.0 se I owned a Rhea a few years back. I found it to be somewhat difficult to quiet down to any degree. The Rhea had a nice, big sound that pushed out the mid-range a bit over the frequency extremes. Lots of nice features. I have heard that there have b... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt I know the feeling having lived in S. Fla. for 25 years. If the forecaster's are close to being right it looks like this one won't be a major storm but they all spawn tornados. We'll be pulling for you guys down in the big Easy. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Stltrains, the McCormick's item number is 6033665, 1/2"x100' holographic mylar. You're going to love this upgrade. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Splicing tape is always white so engineers can more easily find the splice afterwards.They sure won't have any trouble seeing that splice come around on a clear belt. ;-)Frank_sm, just to clarify a little. The "metal" side has always been the side... | |
| Mint Tractor Sonofjim,I see the same thing from the tape on my Galibier platter as well. Not hard to do with a graphite surface. As you said, there doesn't appear to be any adhesive but there still may be. I'm going to try a little Goo Gone just to see. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Oh, but it's white tape. ;-) Too bad they don't carry clear. | |
| Question concerning the Mint Tractor To date I have not adjusted VTA to compensate for the thickness of the mirror. Based on Doug Deacon's comments I'm going to measure things up and try with some VTA compensation. Anyway, based on my experience with the MintLp protractor so far I wo... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt I finally got around to trying this over the weekend. This is a wonderful tweak and I give it the two key lime pie award! I believe this is getting us close to the realm of direct drive, at least as good as an idler.My perspective on the improveme... |
