| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Good to see that the TT-101 is finally working Lewm...and that you find it appealing. You've a lot of fine decks to compare it to so your opinion is valuable.I'm running the Acutex LPM 420STR on the SAEC WE-8000/ST around my Victorhttp://i.imgur.c... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm, I used a Micro Cu-180 on my TT-101 and it sounded wonderful.Trouble was....the brake-action when the stop button was pressed couldn't cope and at the time I didn't know that there was a variable resistor to adjust this brake action.I, like y... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi guys,I've been busy doing some architecture for the last 5 weeks so haven't had time to drop by a lot.Great to hear about Lew's TT-101 and wonderful to have Peter and JP helping out with the big Victor.I have to agree with Banquo about the Vict... | |
| how much better is the kuzma 4 point then my TTW Jelco 4 Point is the ugliest tonearm i have ever seen at this price point. I'll drink to that 🤓 | |
| TTW turntables I tend to agree. I don't think he'll be missed.......🙈 | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? John,Do you prefer the Grace 9E over the Ruby?Easy question to answer......I haven't heard the Ruby 🤔I have though, read many apocryphal tales of its legendary qualities.The chance of hearing one perhaps in the future excites me.The Acutex 420LPM/... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Jeff,Peter Lederman of Soundsmith has a number of alternative options for the Grace re-tip but if you're patient and alert enough, you could get lucky and find a near mint F9E complete with original stylus and cantilever.Good luck... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Jeff,Gosh.....top five...INCLUDING MC and MM ⁉️😩I’m glad you didn’t ask this 3 months ago....or 1 year ago because the list would probably have been slightly different. The point being that this is an ’evolving’ subjective list which is not mea... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I saw your Posting of this news Fleib.Sad indeed.Will wait and see what they come out with as a replacement..🤓Regards | |
| High frequency distortion? Glad to hear it bizzy.It is vital to clean your stylus at least after every listening session.I know many who clean theirs after every album.....I certainly need to do this with my London Decca Reference which picks up crud from the grooves like s... | |
| How are 'Best Of' compilation albums mastered? Good info audio_d...I'm trying to wrap my brain around Roy Halee assembling all the cuts in analogue for Paul Simon's compilation album...Does that mean the record company physically let him have the original master tapes of all Simon's albums?And... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Harold,Congrats on joining the "Living Dangerously" Club..🎉😜We await your reports with excitement and trepidation...🤔Regards | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Agreed. $3K is a joke.There are serious collectors out there and as long as everything is in working order.....it can go for serious money even if outperformed by some other uber Japanese classic DD decks. | |
| High frequency distortion? You've had the turntable 12 months and never cleaned the stylus....😱My money is on a dirty stylus as the culprit. Don't you have a stylus brush? It's the No.1 accessory you need for any cartridge. Brush from the back to the front.Be careful with a... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hiho,The Signet TK5Ea is a sweet cartridge but there is an even better stylus for it than the original....The AT 155Lc is a nude Line Contact, pressure-fitted on a beryllium cantilever and transforms the TK5Ea into a real 'Player'....😎Unfortunatel... |
