Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Richard, I have owned the Final for 25 years and in that time you have heard it once. I clearly recall your comment at the time which was "amazing".During that 25 year period I have also had the pleasure of owning many other turntables - various S...

Taters - The upgrade cost for the Zesto from 1 to 1.2 is subjective.My personal view is if you are keeping the Zesto long term, then the upgrade is worthwhile - slightly more gain, lower noise floor and more fluid and open through the midrange. Ov...

Ortofon Rohmann at 0.25. A little bit noisy though.Upgrading the Zesto to the 1.2 increased the gain and lowered the noise floor - a big improvement.

B&W 803D crossover caps

B&W 803D crossover caps
From my experience with both Clarity and Mundorph caps the Mundorph S/G/O to Clarity is not a big jump and not worth the cost.My recommendation, based on many crossover updates, would be to change the resistors to Duelund Silver Graphite first. Th...

Pegasus - The copper litz I used was the same wire as used in the Sumiko headshell wires - each of the +R -R +L -L legs consisting of multi stranded litz - each strand within the bundle being individually insulated with silk. This ran from the car...

Pegasus - a few suggestions for hum TT Checks :Check the chassis/motor earthing on your SL1210- is it earthed to the wall ?If so, then earthing to pre will create ground loop.Check for continuity between TT earth and spindle to ensure platter is e...
