| Kenwood L07D antiskating Take the arm away and place a Terminator airbearing TA instead. You can also consult Dgarretson at Agon. It´s a terrific performer (I´ve been running for 5.5 years now) and certainly will do justice for your magnificent DD TT, quite possibly the f... | |
| Experience with rewiring SME arm? My SME III rewired with pure silver Van del Hul MCS-300 by a professional in 1992. Uninterrupted wiring from headshell to preamp input. This simple yet demanding tweak takes the already fine, especially in mids & highs, performance of this vin... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Dear Nandric, In mid 80´s this MFG-610LX was the best GLANZ model for sale, at least in this European frontier. The stylus tip is Line Contact. In my younger and not so wealthy days I had to be very careful when spending my money on high fidelity ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro´s quote from the DirectDrive website, essential reading. Those dinosaur made by Japanese engineers never died, they just fell in sleep... What an interesting thread this is. And a new world that awaits searchers for Analog of today. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, In my country it´s called the Tax Bear. Actually, he and police are man´s best friend, because they never forget man. He´s always after me, even when I´m unemployed. Probably he´s already watching my activities on eBay as well. He is... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Is that MFG61 similar to the MFG-610LX ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric & all, I will soon sell both ATML-170/OCC and NIB AT150ANV by Audio-Technica on eBay. I`ve been planning selling them for quite awhile, hoping they will find good homes. Thanks for interest ;) | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thekong, I think you haven´t experienced the maglev Salvation ? It would be interesting to hear the maglev instead, wouldn´t it ? | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dover, I appreciate your honest testimony/review and thus confirming The Verdier´s ability as a true class TT. I never doubted it though, namely due to true maglev (non-thrust pad).Following your logic, from SP10Mk3/LO7D and The Verdier to The Fin... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Lew is right: the mass ratio of platter/base could be inverse. So I would put the whole TT on metal spikes and a very heavy slate. But wouldn´t touch the maglev. | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Actually I was referring to this La Platine by an Agoner:http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/vs.pl?vevol&1301604425&viewitem&o3I would take his TT very seriously. | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Lewn, J.C. Verdier introduced La Platine 30+ years ago, right ? It´s maglev is basically the same as Vic´s, it´s vastly bigger and the spindle is fatter for a very heavy platter, it´s just a different implementation ? Also Kenwood/Clearaudio ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Lewn, I have never taken acid, not even in the wild seventies... I don´t need it. Music itself has been my nectar since little boy ;) And I have never before been so confident about my TT. The Salvation maglev simply nails it. This is the bre... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dentdog, Wise you saved your old albums. So did I and am very addicted to vinyl, just recently. The Salvation is more than a turntable. Vic have invented an analog time machine, to go for a journey back in time. ;) What a great pleasure, isn´t it.... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Lewn, Thanks for your very informative answer, now I understand what exactly is the Kenwood maglev: it´s like Clearaudio´s. After my very recent experience I also exactly understand what´s happening in the bearing, both mechanically and sonic... |
