| Vintage Gyrodec TT power supply question @dogberry posted the link for the QC power supply.... Did I? | |
| Riddle me this.... @mahgister Thank you for that long quote. I won’t rise to the bait about double-blind testing as I can see it applies only to subjective listening tests here. I am fascinated by the information about the eighth cranial nerve, however. It seems to... | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage 0.3mV and 0.5mV are close enough that there will be just a tiny movement of the volume control between them, so go ahead and set the phono stage to the 0.3mV input. The loading of 100Ω will do fine, but if you really want to experiment when you ha... | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? Depends on what you used before the Shure. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" This is off-topic and I apologise. The post that I reply to has been removed but was intemperate and insulting. I agree that "chirurgerie" is an archaism, and that most modern results for a search on the meaning of B.Ch. will show "chirurgie," bu... | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers Never used either, but I do like the typo in the title. A "demanitizer" sounds like something a lesbian would approve of! | |
| Changing panels in Quad Speakers You're welcome. I assume everyone who bought 2805/2905/2812/2912 speakers from early Chinese manufacture are running into the same problems. It would be a terrible shame to junk these lovely speakers for want of a repair guide. | |
| My turntable sounds like the speed is too slow Playing a 45RPM record at 33 1/3? I bet I'm not the only one with a new and unheard record who forgot to change the speed and thought it sounded strange... If you don't trust your cellphone app, maybe mark the platter, play a record and use th... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition Same price as an SME Model 60. If I had to choose between those two, I think the Linn would lose. | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? @mglik The kitty is probably empty after buying the Epoch 3, so this may be immaterial. John Wright sold his business at the last moment, and a few people have reported having Decca cartridges serviced satisfactorily by the new tech. There was eve... | |
| Changing panels in Quad Speakers They sound exactly as they used to do! The panels were ordered by the dealer who sold me the speakers, from the distributor, M0-Fi. Each was $399CDN. Installation cost me a six hour drive, gas for the truck, and $255CDN. The tech who did it took ... | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? The Nagaoka MP-500 is the closest sounding cartridge to my London Decca Reference. I have bought a couple of spare styli for it, plus a tonearm to mount it on. It's that good, and clearly beats the Grado Statement 3 and the SoundSmith Sussurro MkI... | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? @elliottbnewcombjr I would have made one of the tonearms removable headshell. Yes, the M10 arm has a removable headshell (second photo of my tables, the arm at the back), and I have spare headshells with the Grado and Soundsmith cartridges mo... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Neil is our most reliable source. | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? Thanks for the credit in the OP @elliottbnewcombjr, but I should note that whilst you might be the one that is 74, I am not, being a mere youngster of 65! Two tonearms? I had an expensive journey in that regard. I started it with an SME 10 turnta... |
