| VPI upgrade? I put the Sussurro back in today, on the end of the 309, for which I have a number of headshells. It sounds so much nicer through the SUT than it did via the MC input. I don't suppose I will ever buy a Hyperion, but I'll enjoy your reports vicario... | |
| USB Digitil microscope advice It's the quality of the stand as much as that of the 'scope. It has to be rock steady if you are to get images that aren't blurred. A heavy chemistry lab stand and flask clamp are as good as anything, and better than the flimsy stands that general... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum There are a few of both in Nova Scotia! | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges And a splendid PS, from Stewart at londondecca.com today: Yes we will manufacture the current Reference as well as a new version as well. hoping it will be ready in August. Start saving! | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum The Atma-Spheres cost me a hot tube... I do enjoy a good Freudian slip! | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges I hope that it will be possible again in the future to include the London Reference in the list of superlative MI cartridges. A descendant of the Decca design, there are very few cartridges at any price that can come close to its speed, transient ... | |
| Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures Canada Post are in the habit of leaving my mail in a "community mailbox" half a mile from my house. Vinyl LPs don't seem to suffer in the winter, but I do make a point of picking them up in the summer, as a hot metal box in +30°C is likely to do h... | |
| Lowest priced MC thats better than a Premium MM? MM and MI cartridges are far superior when it comes to high output design. And sound, sometimes. | |
| looking for Jelco TK-850S installation manual English version https://www.vinylengine.com/library/jelco/tk-850s.shtml That's the instruction/owner's manual. You may need to join that site to download it. | |
| SME 309 or SME 3009r? A V is not a IV with extra bits added: the IV is a V with bits deleted! The V came out before the IV (by about 18 months), and the reviews at the time quoted AR-A saying that a V was handmade with selected parts, whilst the IV was assembled with o... | |
| Vibration Question But a spirit level says the tonearm panel is level. That's surely the best I can hope for, no? | |
| Vibration Question Well, the 18th century oak chest wins over all other considerations! It's worth more than all my hi-fi and records. | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges There's nothing to lose with the Nagaoka. | |
| Vibration Question I see the dominant opinion is, as expected: don't use pods at all. But given the turntables I have (where there is no other choice), I shall ask once more, is a tonearm better off on a single pod, or a double pod? The latter doubles the mass coupl... | |
| Vibration Question @lewm @mijostyn Thank you, gentlemen, for your (expected) answers. But, the question? One pod better than two, or vice versa? @danmar123 Certainly, but it is the same thing as an Acoustand with built-in mount. I like an Englishman with a lathe, a... |
