Audio Note Japan AN-S7 MKII Silvered Former
Where can I buy a ksl-sfz for $2500?Quite a few others would also like to know the answer to this question....?Even 'used' ex Japan, this price appears mythical...? 
Thinking about getting into vinyl again...
Good advice by Les....Vintage Japanese DD turntables are the cheapest way to 'buy' into quality vinyl sound.Second hand vintage MM cartridges can often sound better than über expensive LOMC cartridges......unless you're a brain-washed herd-followi... 
Phono cartridge grading
This is a joke.....surely.....?

....there must be an adjustment to accommodate the precise weight/rotational mass of the platter + mat, to make the STOP button work exactly right.P.22 of the TT-10 Service Manual..... D. Quick stop adjustment:-* With the turntable mounting two 3... 
Audience XLR interconnects not working
I'll second Andirocks......Most amps have a switch you need to use for either RCAs or XLRs......

Thuchan sends his greetings......The funny thing was that the Sony PS-X9 was located only 10 miles from where he lives.......so he drove it home very slowly.He hasn't had time to listen to it as he leaves today for sunny climes.....

Kind of gutsy for HW to point out the problems inherent in belt drive, elsewhere in this blurb, since he has made a living from belt drive heretofore.Yes.....seems kind of strange...?Almost like Linn coming out and saying they've finally seen the...

VPI DIRECTDirect Drive AND MM cartridge........are folks actually listening now.....?

Interesting story HiHo......I agree with you about the sound of violins on a DD.Perhaps even more so than the piano.....the holding and modulation of a single string when bowed, can reveal the truth about accurate and consistent speed control of a...

Lewm,The speed problems on my TT-101 were not caused by the Power Switch.The Power Switch began playing up (not turning OFF) about 6 months ago....and that's when I discovered the benefits of leaving the Victor 'powered up' 24/7.Surprisingly....wh...

Hearing back from Antonis about his TT-81 plinth......I was wrong about the granite slabs I thought he used.......Instead of granite slabs.....he has designed and constructed some exotic stressed skin panels utilising bauxite balls and epoxy sandw...

HiHo,Your interest in the Victor motors seem to have been ignited by your experiences with the TT-71.....is that correct?Your research, photos and Links are certainly invaluable to this Data Base.I haven't heard a TT-71...but I know the Professor ...

Wonderful information, photos and Links from HiHo as usual.........I really think from the descriptions of the TT-81 and TT-101 motors in their respective Service Manuals....that HiHo and Caligari are correct about the TT-81 NOT being a 'coreless'...

Thanks Banquo,I think my whole TT-101 is in amazing condition.I counted up in the manual.....and there are 90 capacitors and my Tech replaced them all.......He said that when he removed all the old solder joints.....there was so much black smoke i...

I have been liaising with a keen audiophile in Crete by the name of Antonis who has designed and assembled a 'sprung platform base' for the 'nude' mounting of his TT-81I think he has done a marvellous job and his solution certainly addresses Lew's...
