| Brass door knobs as footers Hello JB53 - Guess I haven't priced doorknobs lately!When I ordered the TT, I got Kevin's KAB Modified Stanton "Groovemaster" MM cartridge. It's a DJ cart but tricked out with nuded canitlever and stereohedron tip (no longer in production and Psyc... | |
| Brass door knobs as footers Johnny - glad to hear PartsExpress cones worked for you. Here's to hi-value, budget options. Using a 2.25" Cuisnart chopping block that I bought at Lowes, myself. I really believe Mapleshade is onto something re vibration draining.Vinyl playback i... | |
| Any experience w/Guerilla Audio? Thanks all - That's reassuring. Am hoping to upgrade from the Ultraconductors. JPS Labs Superconductor Q (was FX) is very good but a stretch budget-wise right now - especially as I want 2 pair. I've emailed Guerilla Audio. Will see what sort of re... | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Anyone using ICs from JPS Labs? Have a Superconductor FX between TT & Amp. Have 2 pair of Ultraconductors between CDP/Tube Buffer/Amp and would like to upgrade. The Super is better than the Ultra. I've got a very modest budget...so the $348 x ... | |
| Best lines in a song "My head is my only house when it rains." Captain Beefheart. Could very well have got that twisted up but that's how it works for me in memory. Actually not sure if it's a lyric or a song title. Either way - words to live by. Jsonic - I second you... | |
| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? If it wasn't already suggested, go to The Cable Co. New Hope, PA. (fatwyre.com). They have a lending library of cable. Great deals on used. Pick your price range and search their site. The price range on cables is mind-blowing. | |
| Spare tubes? How many? Thanks all...looks like I need to start budgeting for some backups. (Dfhaleycko - Thanks for the warning. Ain't going down that path! I'm running upgrades over the stock tubes now. Should be able to order same same for all 3 types). | |
| Scranton, PA Skipper320 - We've been out here 4 years. Still getting to know the area. I actually can't tell you if there are any SC audio clubs. Good luck making contacts up Scranton way. GH | |
| Brass door knobs as footers Oz - I used the cones under a Technics table not a speaker. But I do agree with your point. I cranked my cone tips totally down before installing. I'll check for loosening though I suspect this to be highly unlikely. $ for Loctite + 4 Parts Expres... | |
| Brass door knobs as footers Jmoog08 - I love a bargain, myself.I think the idea with the footers is to drain internal vibrations into a very small foot print so there's not a lot of area to conduct vibrations back up into whatever the equipment is you are trying to isolate. ... | |
| Scranton, PA Hi Skipper - More for moral support than practical reasons, just wanted to say hello from State College, PA. Too far west for you I'm thinking. Good luck getting things going up Scranton way.GH | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... I'm not trying to persuade anyone that A is better than B (as a side note - might some of the differences in opinion about the Technics table revolve around experiences with a stock SL1200 series TT vs a KAB modified version?)- just trying to rela... | |
| Jazz trombone anyone? Jpstereo - I'm no expert on the topic but am crazy 'bout jazz trombone. If you haven't already found it, visit this site: http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_jazz/best_jazztromb.html (JJ Johnson is listed as Numero Uno).2ndarily- listen to ... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... Johnnyb & Jmoog - I was not as precise in my language as I ought to have been. The person I spoke to owned a Scout. He had the opportunity to audition at home a KAB mod'd. Technics table. He was very impressed with the Technics table. I didn't... | |
| How does the Technics SL 1200 compare with.... jmoog08 - I was looking at the same TTs as you are now. I contacted a well respected on line retailer. The guy I talked to had a VPS Scout...he recommended the Technics from KAB. His store didn't eve carry Technics. That impressed me. I ordered a ... |
