| Reed Muse 3C turntable lewm,I’ve added one 35v electrolytics (15,000UF) to the input terminals of the voltage regulator. (I’d have to make an extension to get them to reach and attach to the battery terminals).I can report a very subtle benefit in the current setup. The... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable Okay; I've ordered two of them and will try it both ways.Thanks again. | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable lewm,The two 12v batteries are connected in series and the 24v output connects to my voltage regulator with a pair of banana plugs. Would connecting a single 35v capacitor at the input of the voltage regulator have the same effect as what you sug... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable lewm, Thank you for the tip on the electrolytics; I will try that and report back. I always disconnect the charger when listening to music because it injects noise that is clearly audible. | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I've since added a second battery (in series) and that produces 24v. I then use a linear voltage regulator (with adjustment knob and digital readout) to deliver a steady, consistent, and exact number of volts to the table. The motors can run on ... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I looked into the various lithium-based batteries and they appear to be an excellent option.The only hesitation I have is the protection circuitry that they contain. "They require protection from being over charged and discharged too far. In addi... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable Thank you for the recommendations I will investigate. Details on the battery I have can be found by clicking the link in the message I posted above on 08/28/2015. | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I’m very happy with the 12v battery that I’m using as a power supply but I do find that the speed fluctuates when the battery gets very low (after 6 hours of listening). I intend on buying a bigger battery (more amp hours) but I’m wondering if the... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I've found out why the idler wheels sound so much better this time than they did the first time I had them in: they were in the wrong position the first time. The two wheels are of slightly different diameters and the big one has to go on the lef... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I switched back to the idler/friction drive last night.I immediately noticed that the bass tightened up and there was better definition in the bottom end. I could more easily follow bass lines. Because the bass was less dominant and bloated, mor... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable Ok; I'll switch it back to the idler and comment on this thread. I too bought it for the idler so I hope that the many other changes I've made since the switch to the belt make a big improvement to the sound with the idler. I once read a short r... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I really love this table. I haven't gone back to try the friction drive after moving from friction to belt but at some point I will and I will post my impressions. I love the battery power supply. It is measurably (platterspeed app.) better tha... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I didn't buy an expensive battery-based system like the ones offered by Clearaudio or Dr. Feickert. Instead, I simply purchased a standard 12V, 18amp hour battery, a battery recharger, and a cable to hook up the battery to the turntable. The whole... | |
| Reed Muse 3C turntable I've started running the turntable off a 12V battery. What prompted me to do this is the bad AC in my building. When things are really bad you can hear speed fluctuations and the table sounds slow. You can also see the fluctuations in the built-in... | |
| Best Cartridge for Kuzma Airline I have a linear tracking arm (Airtangent) and the London Decca Reference and Grado Statement both work well. |
