Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
Lbelchev - Why do you think the Technics engineers were able to make the best turntable, but they were not able to design a suitable plinth?I think the answer to your question is probably explained by the end use of the product. The Technics was p... 
Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
Hi Albert - I refer to panzerholz or slate plinths in general - not yours. I have no idea what your plinth or the Artisan Fidelity does. That you have addressed many of the structural issues within the Technics as opposed to just "cutting a hole" ... 
Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
The Technics SP10mk3, Victor TT-101, Denon DP80 are all what I would call upside down turntables. That is they are designed to drop into plinths and the motor/mainbearing assembly hangs like dogs balls below the plinth - waving in the wind. The co... 
Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question
Lewm et al, If you look underneath your Kenwood L07D you will find the archilles heal of the Technics SP10mk3. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hallo, ist es Eva hier. Ich bin Axel Sekretärin und ich habe damit beschäftigt meine vchristmas Einkaufen in den letzten Tagen. 
A phono amp that beats the MFA Magus's phono?
The main issue that I see with your system is that the Koetsu Black is too good a cartridge for the Rega P5 - it is starting to show the shortcomings in the arm. This is a common mistake made by many folk on this forum. Its like putting NASCAR tir... 
Re-tipped cartridges
I know someone who sent a Benz to be retipped. Retipper replied no wear, but diamond mounted askew ex factory. Retipper remounted the factory diamond - now sounds better than new.Re the work involved - I cant see how it is easier to change cantile... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Harold - sorry I posted at the same time as you. I would expect a cracked diamond to misstrack - probably on one channel only. This is not sibilance.Brightness is not sibilance either. You can have sibilance ( my definition SSSSSS's ) without brig... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Harold, Fleib et al - This saga is a guessing game to no avail. We need Harold to describe what he is hearing in order to identify possible causes. If he has sibilance but the cartridge tracks fine then .... . If he has mistracking as well as sibi... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Harold - could you please define what you mean by sibilance. I had a friend called Sybil and she accentuated her SS's but never mistracked or sounded harsh. 
what Fi?
The question should have been -What do Low Fi Mid Fi and Hi Fi have in common ?The answer - nothing to do with music. 
Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
Ct0517 - I last used my ET2 with a Garrot modified Denon 103. Also used Koetsu Black & Shure V15VMR.As far as springs go, I really didn't use the spring effect at all. I found that even with low compliance cartridges, when you reduced the hori... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thanks Halcro - If you removed the stylus guard, it would be a lot more attractive to me than my V15Vxmr. Not into the gold bling though. If the marketeers got hold of it it would be the Shure Stealth 140 with proprietory resonance controlled body... 
Koetsu Urushi
I would recommend a Shure M95ED. The M95ED cartridge has the added bonus of the Side-Guard Stylus Protection System which responds to accidental side thrusts on the stylus by withdrawing the entire shank and tip safely into the stylus housing befo... 
Hookup wire for tube amplifier?
Atmasphere some great tips thanks.Most audiophiles would get more benefit from going to solder school than fussing about copper or silver. I have even heard significant improvements in interconnects from well respected manufacturers that have been...
