| Living with popping and crackling Eldartford,Have you heard Ashkenazy's LvB sonatas on London? If you can find an undamaged copy of the 'Moonlight' you might be surprised. P.S. They weren't multitracked either. | |
| VPI Motor Upgrade Kit Second what Photon46 said. That's a good summary.Several months ago HW offered to ship me a 300rpm motor to A/B on my Teres and post a review. That would have been fun and I accepted. It hasn't arrived yet, so I presume VPI's been busy making stuf... | |
| Living with popping and crackling Dan that was much too reasonable. You're not getting in the spirit here. | |
| cartridge issues Lugnut may be right, here's how to tell.1) Set your antiskate to zero or disengage it somehow2) With the TT off, drop the stylus on a mirror or dead wax area3) Since the platter's not moving there's no skating force; with antiskate = 0 there's no ... | |
| Living with popping and crackling Oy veh! 4yanx beat me to it.If you don't believe it Todd, I'll lend you the two Classic Records and one Speakers Corner I dared to play a few times without cleaning them first. These were ripped-open-the-plastic-myself brand spankin' new. The firs... | |
| Analog Set-up Tools Another protractor worth a look is at www.turntablebasics.com. Just $20 and virtually identical to the Wally. It's more universal, since there's no scribed arc for the overhang of one specific arm. It will do nearly as good a job, though not as qu... | |
| Living with popping and crackling Ditto what Dan_ed and Lugnut said...The following cannot be over-emphasized: proper cleaning of vinyl is essential. This goes for used records of course, but in one sense it's even more important for new ones. If you don't clean a record before it... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Hey Newbee, That's MY old system you bought, 901's and a 60wpc Sansui receiver. Bought 'em new in 1973, my first high end system! | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? Esoxhntr,As you said, there's not much point mounting to wood studs when you have bedrock available. I'd plan on getting a good stand, but I wouldn't decide until I was sure what table was going on it. Different tables like different stands.Dan ca... | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? David,It would have come out much sooner, but I can't see the T, E, R and S keys as easily anymore. *****The ink's worn off them!Gotta run, we're drilling our armboard and mounting the new Triplanar tonight. Yummy! | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? Dan, Good point about the floors, though I suppose a trampoline would challenge any table. I have a fairly springy wood floor. My old (cheap) suspended table on a tallish wood cabinet would skip if you just walked across the room. My Teres on a Sa... | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? Both types have their adherents, obviously, and there've been some interesting threads on the topic before. Search the archives and you'll find them. When I chose my TT I was also unable to audition. I chose by following this (admittedly deductive... | |
| Turntable or go into SACD, Simon Yorke vs EMM Lab Wow, this thread is still going after Dgad made his move and it keeps getting better! Thanks to Dgad for asking a tough question and making a tough decision. Thanks to Ceol, Fbhifi and Rauliruegas for their extensive insights. Listeners with real ... | |
| How much does your system retail for? $29,839 in MSRP terms. Anyone know a good $161 component so I can say $30K? You get A'gon points for that, right? | |
| Best table in $1500 range I've lived with an OL Silver (highly modded RB250) for nearly a year now. It's mounted on a table and cartridge that are really much too good for it, yet it's held its own fairly well. I think Gthirteen characterized it nicely. A Rega is not the b... |
