| What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl The DP-500M is not a bad table at all. In fact, I like it better than the Technics SL1200. The tonearm in the DP-500M is a joke, a lot of plastic flimsy parts. The table, however, is well built, elegant looking(higher WAF than most), and has very ... | |
| 12 inch Graham Phantom I remember reading somewhere that mistakes in setting up a 12 inch arm as compared to a 9 inch arm will be more "severe". I forget where I read it but it seems to make sense. A 12 inch arm is less tolerant of poor setup than a 9 inch.It started fr... | |

| magnetic drive turntables Teres, you are right about it being more like a double compliant system, closer to belt-drive than direct-drive. I guess I was intrigued by the idea of the platter being center driven. Using the same set up and if I replace the motor pod with a st... | |
| Nude Turntable Project (It looks similar to a Denon DP-80 but I don't know if Denon made for Victor.)JVC/Victor was one of the three major turntable manufactures, along with Technics and Sony, that made their turntables completely on their own. Other brands such as Deno... | |
| This is Too Funny Vinyl is Still King When I first saw this headline is also the first time I saw in Audiogon that there are more postings in the analog forum than in the digital forum. Cool! _____ | |

| SUT shootout Can someone tell me how to quantify soundstage or tell a good soundstage from a bad one in the reproduction of a recording? Why is a "huge" or "wide" soundstage preferable to a narrow soundstage? What is this obsession about soundstage? With imagi... | |
| What is the best knot for a thread drive belt ? Now, that knot makes more sense to me. Thanks! _____ | |
| What is the best knot for a thread drive belt ? Doesn't this "blood knot" create a bump on all sides? And how smooth is it when pass through the small diameter of a pulley? I haven't tried it; I guess I will find out. _____ | |
| What vintage Technics tables are best? Corby, the JVC QL-5 is nice but not as good as the QL-7. The later automatic tables that uses coreless motor like the QL-Y66F, QL-Y7, QL-F6, are just as good and added a touch of smoothness in the texture and presentation. The QL-7 has better driv... | |
| What vintage Technics tables are best? For mid-priced Technics, I prefer the SP-15, SL-150MK2, SL-M3 over the SL-1200Mk2 because they ALL have better platters. For mid-priced Japanese direct-drive turntables, I prefer the JVC QL-7(TT-71) over ALL the above Technics. _____ |
