Lewm 01-22-2016"What I don’t get is whether the guy who figured this out" "he seems to infer that his circuit is actually more accurate than the original chip, although I don’t know whether one needs to worry about a few Hz when the frequencies in...

The airflow paths in the Victor TT801 are visible herehttp://audio-heritage.jp/VICTOR/etc/tt-801.htmlMy suggestion would be to replicate the rubber mat in delrin which is easy to machine.There is also a TT801 vacuum pump on Yahoo Japan at the moment.

Halcro - Yes in finance - switched to finance after a couple of years, decided engineering was not for me. I should have done an architectural degree in hindsight as that interests me more than civil engineering. Cheers.

Halcro - indeed it is quite something to have designed a bridge. When you mentioned designing a bridge in your earlier posts I thought you were a dental technician, until I found out that you were an architect. I studied engineering at university ...

HalcroOver a 10 centigrade degree range, this dimension could possibly change by a few millimetres rendering your carefully executed arm geometry useless.This seems a bit far fetched - a piece of aluminium 255mm will only expand by 0.0587mm for a ... 
Redpoint TT
Thanks I found the info I needed...Perhaps you could share your findings so other Redpoint owners who find this thread may be enlightened. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Lewm - There is no great controversy here, just different opinions. Headshell leads include both wire and connectors so any differences are not just due to wire material, but also the gauge, winding, length & connectors. I hear significant rep...

Fleib 12/13/2015 Dover, You're way out of line posting your belt drive BS on this thread. It doesn't matter how good it supposedly is, it's inappropriate.  Fleib, you are addressing this concern to the wrong person. A review of the posts since...

Raul, good to hear from you, thanks for echoing my sentiments & sharing your knowledge. 
12" Tonearms for TD-124
I would agree with dgarretson - I recently had a listening session with 2 Garrard 301's with 3012's mounted on both. One had a Lyra MC and the other a vintage Stanton MM - results were very musical with both. I have never really rated the 3012's b...

Thanks Pryso - yes indeed typo. Thanks for the link. If you google around should find a picture of the SP02 set up with 60lb Neumann flywheel. Be great to have a set up like that for a domestic TT.

Richard - Last time I looked under the bonnet of the oscillator preamplifier on the Final, there was a bit more than a capacitor. Time to move on and focus on direct drive. A direct drive motor turns once per revolution of the record. By compariso...

Lewm - Life is a constant learning exercise, that is why I read and participate in these forums. I regularly listen to and enjoy music on all types of drive ( other than digital ). You are quite wrong on the Final - I would be disappointed if ther...

richardkrebsI am on record during a conversation with Lewm stating that I could not live with a standard SP10 MK3. (To my ears they have a high frequency jitter speed problem that is just plain irritating, which took me 15 years to tame.) I will n...
