| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Until you personally experience waiting SEVERAL MINUTES for a very heavy platter to drop into it’s bearing well, you cannot imagine how impressive it is. Its not that impressive to me. My TT has a 26kg platter and it takes about 3-4 hours to ... | |
| Unipivot tone arms I do think that some of the unipivots have fundamental issues, like chattering on the point, or some other instability. The Naim Aro is a good example of this. I have ownd a Naim Aro for 25 ears along with a myriad of other arms. It is very sta... | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? $150k turntable does not keep accurate speed ? I find it hard to believe. Why doesn't it, what's wrong ? Dunno - spoke to a guy in Canada who owned one years ago. Couldn't get it to run on speed and neither could the dealer or Clearaudio. | |
| Great vintage MM cartridge for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm. Recommendations? Audionote IQ3m - an upgrade over what you have now with no risk - its the Goldring 1042 taken up several notches. | |
| Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ? When I found that the Clearaudio Statement ( at US150,000 ) could not keep accurate speed I decided their TT's are not fit for purpose. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade The thief carefully took the record off and left it behind. David Bowie or Englebert Humperdinck ? | |
| SUT suggestions for Audio Note System @pkvintage That's great info. The Audionote SUT's are very high gain - designed for their very low output cartridges. Based on your results any SUT is probably going to result in too much gain. The AN ones will be unusable with the Koetsu. Bot... | |
| Resistors for phono preamp Vishal/texas bulk foil are streets ahead of the others, much better than the Caddock to my ears - quite audible, and for loading well worth the money. Audionote tantalum - some are magnetic - shinkoh are better for tantalum. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Did anyone ever compare the 80s Linn LP12 with a Logic DM101 back in the day? Yes I had a Linn once with Syrinx PU2 when I was a student. Also had a Logic DM101 for a short period around that time. The Logic was quite good for the money, but ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @ledoux1238 Nothings changed. I've always considered the Trans-fi flawed, but I have made suggestions in this thread to help people who have one nonetheless. The ET will be a learning experience, but I have no doubt you will understand its adv... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Sorry to disappoint you, but the current LP12 does not fall out of tune @daveyf I’m not disappointed, I’ve heard the later iterations ( $60k fully loaded ) and they are indeed much improved. I’ve often thought about getting another to put my ... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I can absolutely see this arm as a landmark product in analog, audio history full stop. It is THAT impressive. You must have very low standards. The Trans-fi is not a patch on the Eminent Technology air bearing arm which was designed many year... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I used the term fettling as follows _ The Linn Sondek is of Scottish descent. Scottish dictionary defines fettling as - II. v. 1. tr. To put to rights, into good condition or working order, to mend, repair; to settle, arrange The best Linn was... | |
| SUT suggestions for Audio Note System @pkvintage I couldn't find a manual for your v2 version on the Audionote website. I would suggest you try your Koetsu straight into the phono without a step up and you will get a feel for how much extra gain, if any you need. If for example you... | |
| SUT suggestions for Audio Note System @pkvintage I had a look at the Audionote website and the manual for your M6 Phono. So 126mv for 1v out is 18db - that is the line stage specs. The phono is quoted as 63db. If the phono is 63db then you should not need an SUT at all, there w... |
