| TT drive belt comparison WARNING TO ALLCut power to your Teres motor before attempting to feed the tape. Once the tape is on the pulley, even part way, any movement of the platter will start the motor and there goes your tape. Voice of experience :(RANDOM THOUGHTSIf 1/2" ... | |
| TT drive belt comparison Sean, nice statement of the dilemma. It's one of those core conflicts that prevent "perfect" LP playback. Another such is the two contradictory demands on the tonearm. It is expected to hold the cartridge motionless above the groove, resisting all... | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along Great thead. My old HK/Rabco ST-8 (linear) tracked all four HFN antiskating tracks, although track 4 was pretty tough. The slight buzz on track 3 and very loud buzz on track 4 switched from L to R. Obviously it was mistracking generally without re... | |
| Vinyl pressing mistakes Unfortunately, the only vinyl pressing mistakes in my collection involve recordings that never should have been pressed at all, like all those digitally recorded LP's from the 1980's.Anybody think they're worth anything? ;) | |
| TERES - trially Good Jimbo3 and TWL,Chris Brady recommends something called a "blood knot" when using the silk thread drive string. Instructions for tying it are on the Teres website, in the owner's manuals for both the TT's and the motor. | |
| TERES - trially Good Amandarae,We had no choice on the 265 ;) My partner didn't like the looks of the lead-loaded acrylic platter (I love it), so I "had to" show him the wood one. Oops. Deep financial trouble? Yeah, we know all about it! Just to totally bury ourselves... | |
| TERES - trially Good Chris, Fascinating update. You shouldn't expect any flames, in a sufficiently resolving system, everything matters. Of course my system will only be 'sufficiently resolving' when our 265 gets here! Nudge, nudge :) | |
| TERES - trially Good Amandarae,Congratulations you lucky dog! I have an OL Silver, a Shelter and S&B transformers just waiting for my Teres to show up. As you say, it's wonderful to find such performance at this price point. Are you going to try TWL's HiFi mod on ... | |
| New Vinyl Playback Technology Jnovak, It's definitely not first generation. They offer three models based on a machine that was introduced over fourteen years ago. The lowest priced model has actually been updated again since this reintroduction, making it at least third gener... | |
| What do I need to effectively clean my records Chris Brady (A'gon handle = Teres) also posted his DIY RCM info somewhere here. Can't remember where, but it involved a second hand TT and thrift store vacuum cleaner. Cost him < $50 IIRC. | |
| Getting into analog is tough.... Tubegroover, good post. You and TWL summarized the issues nicely. | |
| Getting into analog is tough.... David, if we "got out of analog" there'd be only one place left to go: the concert hall. I've heard it's not so bad. It might even be more convenient!As he has for so many others, TWL helped me make excellent TT, tonearm and cartridge decisions. N... | |
| What do I need to effectively clean my records Matt,There are a couple of (nearly endless) threads on this topic. Here's the most recent one.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1056412450&openflup&18&4#18Read the whole thread for an education, or look for a (very long... | |
| Turntable Power Source Benefits Albert,Chichiuno (A'gon dealer) sells the EP with a 30 day, no-questions-asked return policy. He always returns my calls.Somebody tell me if this is out of bounds, just trying to help. No affiliation beyond being a satisfied customer. | |
| Is vinyl dead ? Vader, I apologize if my comment was hurtful. I would edit or withdraw it if I could, since it was uncivil. Mea culpa.Let's start again with something we both agree on: our analog devices need protection from digital ones. Doesn't this tell us som... |
