| Spindle/Bearing Lube Or Hollywood Sound or Audio Revelations. Both A'gon dealers, both Nott' dealers, both very responsive. | |
| Spindle/Bearing Lube Motdathird,Try asking The Analog Room in San Jose CA. Great reputation and I think they're a Nott' dealer. Even if they're not they probably know the answer. | |
| Is impedence so important for a pick/phono combo? Sidssp, great suggestion. There's certainly no valid way to compare two phono stages without loading the cartridge identically. A couple of resistors should go for a lot less than a Rhea, and resistors practically never shut down intermittently wi... | |
| Spindle/Bearing Lube Different bearings DO require different lubricants. Just because some oil works best in an AR (or any other TT) doesn't make it the right oil for a Nottingham.There's no upside to guessing. Like Rlxl and Jbello suggested, ask your Nott' dealer or ... | |
| Optimal Loading for Shelter 501 mk2 Shelter's specs call for a load of 100 ohms when running directly into a preamp. I'd start there.http://www.eifl.co.jp/index/export/501.htmlEnjoy! | |
| ultrasound cleaning? John Chapman's design is interesting. You mount up to 7 LP's on a sort of rotisserie spit, kind of like baking a chicken. :) The motor rotates the records VERY SLOWLY through the bath. Only the bottom portion of the records is submerged, and the m... | |
| Is impedence so important for a pick/phono combo? Just another voice to say, "Yes, it is important".We recently tested some very small load changes with our Shelter 901. Most people with this cartridge prefer a load of about 40 ohms (running through a stepup). We tried multiple values between 30 ... | |
| Expressimo Audio "the LIFT" ....doesn't Your gain, his loss. Glad you found a solution, and one you can brag about! | |
| Idiot Newbie question Try the RRL fluids. Better than any homebrew. | |
| The importance of azimuth Rcrump + 4yanx + jphii + me = 4.Do we want more? | |
| Idiot Newbie question You have to be a little careful with the Hunt brush. As Consttraveler said, a very light touch. Until you get a feel for it, basically just use the weight of the brush only, using your hand just to guide it.If you push too hard while sweeping the ... | |
| Should I try a MC cartridge and phono pre? Sonny,Sorry for the lingo, VA is Vinyl Asylum. Go to www.audioasylum.com. A link to K&K Audio is in the upper right hand corner. The FAQ's are VERY useful, or you can click on Vinyl for the discussion forum. The K&K stepups can be set up t... | |
| The importance of azimuth David, count me in. Time to party!! Or, whatever you do with a customized multimeter.Jbatlanta, I'll try to temper Rcrump's response a little, but both my partner and I DO hear VTF changes as small as .03g, and very easily. And contary to finding ... | |
| MC cartridge for Cello Audio suite P101 Vikki,Can you look up the specs for your Cello? I couldn't find them with a Google search. We need to know the gain in both the phono and line stages, and also what input impedance(s) are available. Matching a cartridge means choosing one with hig... | |
| The importance of azimuth The assembly of my Shelter is visibly off-perpendicular relative to the body. Like 4yanx, I've done the best I can getting it perpendicular by eye using a mirror, but I've never achieved silence on the crosstalk tracks either.Wally's Analog Shop, ... |
