Nude Turntable Project
Dear Thuchan,You can see 3 rubber grommets on the photo with just the metal frame?The TT-101 sits only on these so there is no metal to metal contact.Yes.....I'm thinking of possible dust on the electronics......but the original metal casing had m...

Thanks Banquo,Will report in due course.It takes many records, arms and cartridges.....not to mention different listening sessions......to be convinced of what one is hearing?RegardsHenry 
Nude Turntable Project
Naked.....not 'nude'!5 months after mentioning my idea to Banquo.....about designing a 'cradle' out of stainless steel flats to 'drop' the TT-101 into......I finally got off my bum and did it.Designing is one thing......but drawing it and then fin... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Tbg,Tommy is right. Specific parts are not available without a 'donor' TT.You may find This Thread amusing?On the other hand.......new capacitors are all available....and Lewm has discovered that by Googling the transistor part Nos easily obtained...

Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Hi Tbg,I love the Victor also :-)Extremely hard to find these days.....in good working order?It took me two years to find mine....and I kissed a few frogs before I found the Princess.If you contact Tommy at TopClass Audio and ask him to find one.....

Dear Nikola,I too was scared about the 'complexity' and 'matching' issues that I had read about regarding SUTs.......but Thuchan advised me to just "try" :-)You know I also have 3 LOMCs (actually 4...I have 2 UNIverses)......the Dyna XV-1s, the ZY... 
Kid Creole & Coconuts
I just bought the 3 DVD Set of Kid Creole and the Coconuts.DVD 1 is the 1982 London Concert (which is my favourite of all the performances I have seen).DVD 2 is the 1985 Paris Concert which is also great whilstDVD 3 is a compilation of all known m... 
Is built in phono preamp usually best way to go?
Blueranger,As your Bryston already had an inbuilt MM phono stage......have you considered adding a passive SUT for LOMCs instead of considering an 'active' device?Even though my Halcro DM10 Preamp has both MM and MC active phono stages built in...... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Dear Nikola,I know you are a passionate supporter of your (3rd) Basis Exclusive Phono Preamp........and it maybe has a better LOMC amp inside than my Halcro DM10..........but have you ever tried a SUT going into the MM amp and by-passing the MC am...
