| Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair The Fosgate phono-stage and headphone amp are long discontinued. The Fozgometer is still a current product and was upgraded to a v2 not so long ago. Jim Fosgate died this past December. | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights What I have will have to do for now. I'm going back to my blissful ignorance where I enjoy music and have nothing to worry about. :) | |
| Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair I think MS also used an east coast facility for the repair of mine. It came back and worked for about a week before developing the same fault again. That’s when I was refunded. Ended up with a Herron VTPH-2 (upgraded later to 2a) and used that for... | |
| Rockford Fosgate Signature Phono Pre needs repair Try contacting Musical Surroundings. They are the former distributor for the Fosgate Signature. I once had a Signature V2. It ended up with right channel problems that never did get fixed correctly. I ended up getting a full refund from the deale... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @mijostyn OK. I got that one, for a couple bucks. If I put my iPhone on the platter and bang on the isolation platform I get tiny little blips (like small bubbles). If I bang on the rack the isolation platform sits on the tiny blips are even tini... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @mijostyn who's the app publisher? There's more than one fitting your description. The one I got comes up as "Vibration Meter, seismograph": "Measure all vibrations" by ExaMobile S.A. | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @mijostyn What app do you use (I am on iPhone) I picked something off the app store, and vibration seems negligible to be. During normal play it says vibrations can only be detected by instruments, and if I bang on the isolation platform with the... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @pindac My wall shelf will be mounted to a plaster on brick wall. I will drill into the brick an fasten the appropriate anchors, readily available form the local hardware store. I have done this before. As an extra measure I also glue the anchors ... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights At the moment I have my TT on an isolation platform, and that one will just have to do for now. It may not be a perfect solution, but it's good enough. I listen to a lot of large scale orchestral music and hear plenty of inner detail, and the soun... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @mijostyn Thanks for the info. My turntable is a non-suspended design. At some point I will try a Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS E1X) isolation base for it. Those are tuned for type and weight of component, but it won’t work with my current set... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red If a carrier dropping a well-packaged component that ends up fine anyway burns your butt, then maybe you should consider supporting your local B&M dealer instead of buying online. Just a thought. :) | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights I wonder what a Panzerholz isolation base would be like, with the proper feet? I have a isoAcoustics Delos 3" Maple platform I use for the Innovation. Technically I have exceeded the weight limit for it by about 8 lbs, but I don’t have any isolati... | |
| Clearaudio Magnify tonearm- replacing anti skate wire. I agree. Just send it to Clearaudio for proper repair. I forgot all about the Magnify anti-skate adjustment. I hated it, and it was marginally better than the one for the Clarify (under the arm board). I had both arms and no longer have either - ... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @pindac As you can well imagine I am familiar with the Panzerholtz material. Both my Innovation Wood, and the Ovation I had before it have Panzerholtz plinths. Clearaudio's Statement clamp has a Panzerholtz base, but as I recall it is now $1200 U... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights @pindac Since the subject of composite 1 kg clamps interests you. Previously I used a Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) ADH clamp. That one is 850 gr., made of stainless steel with a rubber composite base. In contrast to the Ultra Carbon TC-40 I ... |
