| Kenwood L07D turntable and control unit IIRC it is rumored that the L07J arm was made for Kenwood by Ikeda-- which at least seems more plausible in view of the shared PtS spec. | |
| Kenwood L07D turntable and control unit The Vinyl Engine database identifies quite a few vintage pivot arms that match the 229.5-230mm pivot-to-spindle distance of the L07J arm. Those that pivot on a vertical mounting post of less than 28mm OD could conceivably be mated to the stock col... | |
| Kenwood L07D turntable and control unit Chakster, check and see if the L07D comes with the pod base for the L07J tonearm. If it does, then it is feasible to fabricate a platform with a peg that slips into the stock arm base to which may be mounted any tonearm with a surface-mounted base... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have a Lyra Helikon with him right now with a suspension issue. We'll see how that goes, however the situation is atypical insofar as he had earlier replaced its diamond with his OCL alternative. | |
| Kenwood L07D turntable and control unit Pass on it. After looking around awhile I found a complete L07D for $2700 several years ago. There's one on eBay now in Hong Kong for $4800. The strike price is probably somewhere in between. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jmowbray, I wonder if Peter or some other servicer can straighten the suspension of the TK10ML? The TK has a rather soft suspension relative to the TK100LC, which may have made it more prone to take on a sideways set. Is it simplistic to think tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks. Yes, a gold and red body. The second arm has a TK10ML, unfortunately with a twisted cantilever. Pretty nice freebies with this TT from an estate sale. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just took delivery of a very clean TOTL Luxman PD444 with a mounted pair of Signet XK50 arms and a mystery cartridge. It turns out to be a Signet TK100LC. It might have a ruby cantilever. Any knowledge of this model? I can find no specs or meani... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, The Resomat is almost weightless. It consists of a paper-thin acetate sheet that serves only to fix the locations of the small and lightweight vinyl acetate cones that couple the record through the sheet to the OEM platter. The cones pass thr... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, I use a Resomat and prefer it to direct coupling on my L07D and VPI TNT. However, the Resomat can sound a bit light and tizzy without a clamp or record weight to bring the LP into full engagement with the two full circles of vinyl cones on th... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I just landed a Luxman PD444. Does anyone here have personal experience with this table? Also, a pointer to the service manual would be much appreciated. There is nothing on Vinyl Engine or anywhere else via web search.Assuming that it arrives in ... | |
| esoteric products +1 Zd542. Sitting next to my K-01X is a highly developed Twisted Pear Buffalo DAC. It implements the same ESS reference Sabre DACs as top Oppo, but in a more sophisticated dual-mono configuration with 12 linear shunt power supplies that surpass Op... | |
| esoteric products From filings it appears that TEAC annual revenues are around $185M. I don't know how much of this is attributable to its audio divisions, but assuming 1.9% of total revenues, Esoteric is no larger than $3.5M. This is decent revenue for a high-end ... | |
