| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Oops, sorry the Denon I was talking about was a DP-755, which does not have quartz lock, a much older unit. I gave that to a friend and it's deservedly sitting in storage collecting dust. Sorry for the typo! I intend to experiment with the faulty ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III T_bone, I do have an SP10mk2 that spins way too fast, something like 200 or 300 rpm. Is that something I can repair by replacing all the electrolytic caps? Or is that something related to the obsolete chips? I plan to reuse just the motor and plat... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Never own a SP10mk2A, is this "A" version any better than the regular version spec wise? I know the A version is to take advantage of the advance of IC of its time so the boards are smaller and generate less heat as oppose to all discreet parts. B... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III "The Golden Number" by Charlie Haden is sublime. He is one of my favorite bassists, along with Mingus, Garry Peacock, Barry Guy, et al. Let's not forget those Ornette Coleman records from Atlantic in the 60's he participated. But the recordings he... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III One of the most amazing thing about the SP10mk2 is in the bass dynamic, its tightness and focus. NOTHING I heard in any turntable genre has this kind of bass energy and transient. The idler drive tables might have the big tone and expansiveness in... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I actually tried the naked approach before, about more than 10 years ago. I had a small piece of 3/4" particle board attached to the upper right hand corner of the stock chassis acting as a cantilevered armboard and that's it. The turntable was ju... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Raul, do you use any footers for the "naked" SP10 or you just let its bottom cover or belly acting as support? Any picture you can show us? | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I plan to have no cosmetic embellishment. I like everything exposed, or naked if you will. :-) Not having a spouse helps. But if that's an aesthetic issue for some people, I understand. I am the kind of audiophile who ALWAYS loses the screws on an... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III You do NOT have to take the electronics away. You are doing absolutely NOTHING to the electronics nor the switches. The motor is mounted to the stock chassis and there is a bundle of 12 wires soldered to a 12-pin connector connected to one of the ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III The stock 12-strand wires come out of the motor assembly to the connector is about 8" long. I would extend the wires by at least three feet. I have three SP10's so I plan to do this soon. The important thing is that in the stock form, the motor is... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Yes, Albert, getting involved is one of the major fun of this hobby instead of always being lead by the nose by magazines and the so called experts. Glad to know the SP10 is in the "big boys league" instead of the doghouse. By taking the motor out... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Now, that's what I'm talking about!http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=vinyl&m=832368The Steve Dobbins plinth looks great but the triangular plinth is just lovely. It would be nice to hear it as a motor tape-driving another platter since t... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III There's really nothing radical about it. It's rather reversible. The motor is just connected to one of the boards via a 12-pin connector and why do you even need to take the boards out of the stock chassis? Just leave them in there and you will ha... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Any update on new plinth designs or set ups in this thread? The idea of removing the motor and installing separately from the stock chassis makes sense to me and I am more and more tempted to do that by the day. Now, I just need a way to cut a sl... | |
| Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint? Has anyone tried VHS tape for tape-drive? They are cheap and plenty to go around... |
