| DIY nuding of Dynavector?? Well, I typed "Wacko tweaker" first but thought I might get death threats! Not that tweaking is wacko in and of itself, but that SOME tweakers (on other forums, not here)might well suggest some pretty wacko ideas.BTW, I'm going to be using the Dyn... | |
| DIY nuding of Dynavector?? Thanks for clearing the screw thing up for others--when I actually looked at the cart, I realized there are two screws of an unusual configuration (not slotted, not philips but two small holes in the round head--looks more like a button than a scr... | |
| What to consider with used Sota Sapphire?? Thanks everyone,while I was only half-considering the table, the comments were very helpful. Perhaps someone down the line will benefit from this thread when he finds it in the archives. | |
| What to consider with used Sota Sapphire?? Nrchy,I have a Nottingham Spacedeck with a Origin Lived Rega arm that I'm happy with. I had considered buying the SOTA just as an experiment and selling whichever table I preferred least, but I'm a bit scared off by the thought of having to invest... | |
| What to consider with used Sota Sapphire?? Maniac,I've read some similar tales on other forums. The new SOTA company offers the official shipping box for $65 (which seems pretty steep for a box) but it might well be worth it if it keeps the table intact. I doubt that I'll buy the table, bu... | |
| What to consider with used Sota Sapphire?? What I was thinking of in terms of the springy suspension was whether or not if had been transported to the store properly (i.e. with the transit screws tight) and THEN intentionally loosened back up. I don't think the pawn shop employees have eno... | |
| Static Build Up Another option is the Mapleshade Ionoclast for ~$40. It's "made" for CD's and wire insulation, but works similarly to Zerostats. | |
| How to apply LP9 stylus cleaner? Someone on Audio Asylum e-mailed Record Research about the stiff brush: it's intended to get gross contaminants or dust bunnies off the stylus BEFORE using the actual LP9 with soft brush.Personally, the short bristles of the stiff brush scare me a... | |
| Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham? 4yanx and I exchanged some e-mails about the Mystic Mat, hoping we could somehow still get one direct at a cheaper price (NO!). He went with the Boston mat, so maybe he'll be able to comment on its performance with the Spacedeck. | |
| Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham? An Audio Asylum inmate recommended the Mystic Mat for Nottingham TT's. His dealer, Definitive Audio, had them made and sold them for ~$150 at that time. Somewhat similar to the heavy Kit platter in that it's carbon/graphite but much thinner/less e... | |
| Sound Engineering record weight Hi Bob,I didn't realize you were selling on Audiogon when I made my post. I had been talking with 4yanx about the Mystic Mat and had e-mailed him Fremer's article about the mat and your weight. I thought he might be interested in price info so I m... | |
| Problems with Sorba gel mat anyone? Sorry, don't have a solution for the problem but some on Audio Asylum have reported similar problems when leaving LP's on sorbothane or similar sticky mats like the None-felt. | |
| Which low cost turntable should I choose ? Some wisely chosen 2nd hand TT's can be "rented" in a sense--they've largely depreciated to their bottom price, so one can buy them now and sell 'em later for roughly the same price. I bought a Heybrook for $350 and sold it later for $275 without ... | |
| Which low cost turntable should I choose ? Sorry, the table I was referring to is the Heybrook TT-2.It shares some design concepts with the Linn LP12, but sells for less. It lacks the upgrade path of the LP12 and is no longer produced (so repair could be a problem). They have sold on eBay ... | |
| Which low cost turntable should I choose ? A table somewhat like a Linn LP12, there's one for 349 GBP at Walrus Audio but you might find one in your price range on eBay or similar sources. Often they have the Linn Basik arm, but you could upgrade sometime in the future if you decide vinyl ... |
