| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro and Griffithds,They both have bidirectional servo, but the 101 has an additional servo to compare phase - double bidirectional. Why else are the electronics so much more complicated on the 101? You're saying this is incorrect?A massive plat... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Henry,According to VintageKnob, the TT81 does not have the double bidirectional servo. The 101 has a second quartz locked servo outside of the drive to compare phase. Looking at absolute speed, it doesn't seem to make much difference?I think th... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Well, that is interesting. Maybe it's harder to correct speed inconsistencies of a 20 lb. platter? I don't think electronics has ever been VPI's long suit and this technology hasn't changed in the last 35 years. Harry is an old plinth builder, iro... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? 10-13-15: HalcroAnd let's gets real.....no-one is going to reinvent a new DD turntable which can be built in a 'garage'.HW did it with a cogless super motor that still can't match the performance of the 30 year old Victors and can't be made for le... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griff,The company left out of that post is Ogura. They make the stylus/cantilever on many high end carts including ones from Lyra, Dynevector, etc. Most of their tips are generically called linetrace or micro types. They make a tip called pathfind... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Now that I see your last post, what you're describing is a low frequency oscillation (gets louder). If the stylus is stationary, does this originate in the table or preamp? | |
| Nude Turntable Project Henry,I suspect the coupling - 3 rubber grommets are the root of this evil. It won't matter how much mass or how stable the base is, if the coupling is inadequate. Can't say I have a solution, but I'd try something like a thin bead of silicon caul... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jbethree,LP Gear says the vivid line is from someone other than Jico. I'm guessing Nagaoka, said to be the largest manufacturer of styli in the world. The price of Jico shibata is now about $140 and Gear is replacing all the Jico shibata with vivi... | |
| Why mono? Many modern mono carts have vertical compliance and will Not tear up a stereo record. The Denon 102 is such, and has been out for years. It has two long output pins to hook up your stereo leads (doubled up). The AT 33MONO and MONO3 are inexpensive... | |
| cartiage for Kenwood L07D genuine tone arm Jagdzaku,To answer your question, almost. With mass behind the position of the cartridge, 100% of the weight difference does not subtract or add to eff mass. This is a trivial amount. The stock shell looks to be of very high quality, but it might ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Corian might be ideal. What about the material used by Kenwood which people call faux marble. It's ARCB - Anti-Resonance Compression Base. It makes up the plinth of the KD500, 600, and is used in the L-07D. Contrary to popular belief, it's a mixtu... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Hi Aigenga,They're not listing effective mass. It looks like it's the weight of the armtube w/o the headshell. I don't think it's possible for the eff mass to be less than headshell weight.Normally, you can reduce the eff mass of an arm with a 12g... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... The Jelco 750L has eff mass of 11g, yet the headshell weighs 12g? Neat trick!!I happen to own an old, but sturdy bridge connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn and due to unforeseen circumstances I'm looking for investors.... | |
| Audio Technica ART 9 LP Gear/LP Tunes actually has three names, the other is Elex Atlier. Some cart models were Japanese only and Lp Gear imported them. Examples of this are 7V and 100E (MM). The ART7 and 9 are now on the AT US site and apparently US models. The reaso... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don,Yes, I have a D3001e - .2 mil nude elliptical. Sounds good, outperforms a Jico D81 shibata. I'd rather try for something better. A .2 elliptical has the smallest contact area of any tip. All things being equal, will wear out fastest. I'm no... |
