| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib,I don't think the record/platter interface is understood as you claim and that's where we differ...If it were....there would not be the plethora of platter materials, shapes and weights nor the cornucopia of platter mats (materials, thicknes... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib.......or have their ear bitten off. Bon appetit. I hope you didn't think it was I with the hunger pangs...❓👀I was trying to convey the thought that no-one has yet proposed a scientifically provable theory as to what, how or why the turntable... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib,To paraphrase Mike Tyson... Everyone's got a theory until they're punched in the face After listening to multiple different materials and combinations on the Victor DD turntables......I know what sounds best to me....and so far it's what the... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I also have the Victor pigskin mat that came with the TT-101but have ever only used it on top.On top of what Totem❓Perhaps I need to get out more often.Hold your horses Totem......I might be able to save you the effort...😎The Achromat 1200 arrived... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Don,I ordered the special Achromat 1200 which was designed for the lip on the Technics 1200....so I suspect the underside is already tapered to accomodate this?Will post photos when it arrives.I've also got a glass mat on its way from Japan.Appare... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Nice Post Doron.....😘 | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Griff,I've ordered a 5mm Achromat....but the 1200 which allows for the edge lip of the platter (named after the Technics 1200 because of the same problem).....So....I'll see if there is still some improvement to be had...❓👀 | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thank you for the kind words Audpulse...😎I am grateful and truly humbled....😔If I've in some way helped you and others to achieve better sound from vinyl....I can ask no more....🎼RegardsHenry | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Gary,My problem with changing the power cord on the Victor is.....where do I stop❓👀The TT-101 plugs into a 240v to 100v step-down transformer which itself plugs into a PS Audio Power Regenerator which itself plugs into the mains.Do I need to chang... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Shane,I don't believe that it's a rubber mat under the Jico leather mat in that image...?It looks to be more like a rigid plastic mat like the Achromat...?I have friends who like to use a leather/suede mat on top of a rigid one (especially metal) ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Shane,I can't see where you see the leather mat on top of the rubber mat in the Jico pictures....👀❓ | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? A good point Totem....Rubber platter pad | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? In relation to any of the mats discussed I must add a caveat......I have only used them with a heavy record weight which I think is essential.I haven't even bothered doing any serious listening without one...so I could be found guilty of 'unscient... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hey Don,See my response to Lew about the overhanging mat....If you are already able to post a 'clickable' Link using the 'markup tags'then use the last one to create your own title....Press the 'Preview first' button before 'submitting' to ensure ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I take Lew's point about the Jico mat overhanging the platter's raised metal edge.....On the other hand, with the original Victor Pigskin mat which doesn't overhang......the vinyl record's outer edge is then resting on the metal edge whilst the re... |
