| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? That's exciting Shane.Is it the one in the Link you posted?How many turntables does one man need.....😀 | |
| My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive I think Lew has the history in better context than has2be....😎 | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) Chakster...the Neo-SAS Stylus 1 ( which is their standard SAS) is the one that fits the P77.It's available in both S and R versions. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hahaha folkfreak 😝I think the Herzan looks like a perfect fit for your turntable.And yes Lew....it's hard to find the compact TS Series of Herzan on EBay | |
| Nude Turntable Project Cost of course is relative.......Any serious analogue lover who is in the market for an $8,000-$15,000 LOMC cartridge......should seriously consider a Herzan Active Vibration Isolation System and a $300 vintage MM cartridge instead......There is r... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks for the kind words Jim,Some think that the Herzan is an 'overkill' for our application......and at the prices for their 'active' bases, it is an option few would contemplate.I haven't tried any other bases although I wanted to try the Minus... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Interesting experience pryso......I wonder if you've tried experimenting with placing the stylus in a stationary groove whilst slowly increasing the volume?Does any feedback develop and if so....is it different with the turntable on the left of th... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks totem,Herzan USA is the Distributor for Australia (go figure).....so all dealings were directly with Reid Whitney and Tim Rather who were most helpful.The unit was shipped via FedEx (when the custom top-plate was ready) and was here in thre... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Thanks Norm,Five years ago after Thuchan listened to my system, he suggested I look into an isolation stand and I investigated Minus K (I didn't know about Herzan).The trouble with the Minus K (as you would know) is that it requires the load to be... | |
| Nude Turntable Project When I started this exercise over six years ago, I began rather crudely with the Victor TT-81 simply supported on cones.MODEL 2010 Unsatisfied with the 'flexure' of the motor-unit about the cones, three years later I designed an independent stain... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You have to try 100k then, 47k vs 60k is not the big differenceWhy would I do that if I find 60K mostly too thin and edgy....? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I too am able to infinitely adjust the loading for my MM cartridges between 60K to 20K Ohms 'on-the-fly'.Unless you can hear in real time, the comparisons.....It is hard to distinguish the very subtle differences. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, for years I ran many of my MM cartridges at 60K Ohms thinking they sounded better.....🤔In the last three years I have found that virtually all of them sound better at 47K or lower.....There are probably only two or three left, out of 40.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Looking at those FR graphs for the different loadings of the X1-II Chakster....I hope you will realise that your liking for 100K Ohms loading is a subjective aberration which bears little relation to 'flat frequency response'.....🤔 | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks for the comments guys.....Makes sense that the performance of the TT-101 was deteriorating BEFORE the outage....and that was the 'coup-de-gras' 🙈Will be interesting to compare the two when I get it back.Yes totem.....my Tech has fully servi... |
