| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 I hope that's the case. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I don't have a lot of faith in Project. If you look at the workings of their expensive EAT turntables, despite the lovely plinths and massive platters - the actual bearings are puny, and the "speed control" circuitry would fit in a cigarette pack... | |
| Analog Magic Question The only issue I have with the Analog Magic is their speed test. It is not possible to accurately measure platter speed using a test tone. The only accurate way is to use a rotary function generator. Here is a quote from Bruce Thigpen - Eminent... | |
| In need of a GOOD 3:1/4:1 passive input selector If your switching unit is a passive preamp, and if you are handy with a soldering iron, try bypassing the volume pot. Hum could also be simply poor earthing arrangement. You can also short any unused inputs with a "shorting plug" - put a resisto... | |
| What does you reference rig do better than your vintage rig or vice versa? I’ve reached that critical point where flutter can be detected if the combination of phono pre output level and receiver volume are too strong. That sounds more like you are having feedback issues at higher volumes. What is your vintage tt, a... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Neither make TTs or ever did. So the question is still open: who makes TTs with densified wood construction? Clearaudio have been using panzerholz in their upper end turntables for many years. In their plinths the panzerholz is constrained with... | |
| Suggestions for cartridges for Rega P8 Does Mr Gandy really claim that VTA doesn’t matter? No he doesn't. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade My dealer said he has heard this and thought the Bedrok was much better. Of course he would say that - the sound he likes is "ka-ching". | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion @atmasphere Thanks. I have run the low output through Soundsmith's own phono and changes from say 800 to 1000 ohms with that phono were quite audible. You are saying this is the phono or phono/cable combo. Decca is another story but I have set ... | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion @atmasphere Any brightness is usually not the fault of the cartridge so loading will not fix it. IOW If loading does fix the brightness, the cartridge wasn't the problem. The phono section is. This is because any LOMC cartridge generates RF... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? I just wanted him to understand that with his Teac phono preamp he'd get the same result whether using RCA or XLR connectors. That's guesswork on your part. You said you've never heard it. Why do you post speculative brouhaha about something yo... | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? @theophile If you want to sell your friends item at an inflated price then you should place an ad on Audiogon. The forums are not supposed to be used for selling your gear under the table. @lewm I posted conservative values, a couple of them ... | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? Yahoo Japan - they come up from time to time - Hifido last sold one for EU$3000 - at auction they can be had for much less than that. | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? Pani I know where in Europe you can buy a HX-10000 for 5000 Euro in a private sale. Email me if you would like a link. You can buy them in Japan for 1/2 that. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy Leak and Tannoy ( England ) produced excellent moving coil cartridges in the 1950's and 60's |
