| re-tipping Dynavector17D? I posted up some pictures under the microscope of the re-tip job. Superb work!https://imgur.com/gallery/i7m3i7V | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? I’m here to follow up on my re-tipping experience, now that I have received it back and have given the cartridge about 50 hours of break-in.I used Joseph (cartridge_retipping-5 on eBay) to re-tip with the elliptical stylus, and I’ll see if I can... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? He has responded, and he reports that he has done this many times, to great success. He removes the old stylus, and has small enough styli to fit back into the hole (or split, as it sometimes is), and re-bond it. I'll report back on how it sounds ... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? I'm currently in touch with Dynavector about this. I'll keep the thread updated with any new info as it comes! | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Reviving this thread, as I have a Dynavector Karat 17D (original) that I have at a repair person to reconnect a broken wire. That job is done, and he’s offering to do a line contact stylus for $500 or a .2/.7 elliptical for $250. Is it even possib... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Current Theory: I believe the ground wire coming out of theTechnics 1200 is attached to the tonearm. When the ESD happened upon lifting the tonearm, it makes sense it would travel through that ground wire and arrive at the phono preamp where it wa... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? But can the chassis of a component WITHOUT a ground pin on its plug actually act as a ground? I would expect that the chassis has continuity to the ground pin of the plug, which then plugs into the grounded socket, thus completing the path to the ... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Follow-up question: if I ground the turntable to a chassis screw on the amplifier, should I *also* ground my phono preamp to the chassis of the amp? Same screw, or different screw? | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Just realizing something...the Technics SL-1200 turntable outlet plug does not have a ground pin. Neither the Dynavector nor the Trichord phono preamps have a ground pin on their plugs either. Thus, if I am grounding the turntable to a device that... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? I checked the outlet with a socket checker device, and it indicated that the ground was good. It’s a device with three lights on it: two yellow and one red. When I plugged it into the socket my main power conditioner is normally plugged into, I go... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? I ordered a grounding mat from Amazon yesterday. I’ll let you know if I destroy anymore expensive equipment with static while using it! | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Yes, the turntable is grounded to the phono preamp. And I can’t as readily troubleshoot/repair the PCB on the Dynavector P-75 since it has surface mount components rather than through-hole. Any other theories? I bought it used, should I send to Dy... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? The dip switches on the Trichord Dino are for gain and loading. I took a multimeter to see if there were any shorts, and the R output showed that both its signal path and ground path we’re going to ground. Different gain settings at the dip switch... | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? It seems very unlikely that the exact same incident would happen to two different phono preamps, completely randomly. Is there anything downstream/upstream that could cause this? Could I have a grounding issue in my house wiring? | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Should I contact Dynavector? What did I do wrong? |
