Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt
I just want to know what was the OP's turntable, described as "a very expensive dual DC motor top of the line system of a well known brand from England." Since it's a two motor design, it would have to be a belt drive turntable but I just can't th...

Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives?
Glad you like your new phono preamp. But it's curious that if you're technical enough to assemble a kit and yet you couldn't bypass the tube stage to lower the gain, just jumping couple wires, which would have cost you nothing. Essentially you're ... 
technics SL 1300 modificatiom
I used to have a SL-1300Mk2 that has suspension. The arm is not as good as the SL-1200Mk2, the motor and electronics are the same. But one advantage of the 1300Mk2 is that the platter is heavier and is balanced with drilled holes at the bottom. Th... 
Charge for TT setup?
I understand the outrage but I'm curious about what constitute a retail price. Is the price just for the physical item or that includes the set up service. If one retailer does it, does that mean all others should do the same? I don't trust other ... 
Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
Spiritofmusic, I am not skeptical of the product's quality or your enthusiasm. I'm glad that you found something you like. But those familiar with me knows that I am weary of pornographic sonic descriptions, hence I no longer read audio review in ...

03-07-14: Spiritofmusic: "...... I worship great analog, and truly worship the Salvation/Terminator."Your last post just proved my point. It's your thread so you have every right to say what you want. I'm just a passerby so I will keep on passing ... 
Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
Salvation update from Trans-Fi website illustrates the magnetic bearing modification to the stock bearing. It does not have magnetic field on the horizontal plane, purely vertical. The female and male bearings are separated horizontal by oil. Vert... 
Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
03-06-14: Lewm: "I am not here to knock the Salvation but worshiping it is another matter."I notice there are worshipers of two brands, Trans-Fi and Artisan Fidelity, on here who keep gushing on and on about these products without anything substan... 
Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives?
03-05-14: Dsper: "Ditto some 5751 tubes and keep playing with the switches on the back."The three dip switches allow 3 gain settings. If he already switched it to "MM" setting and that's the lowest gain he could get. He needs further reduction of ... 
Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives?
I just looked up the circuit of the JD9. It appears to be a solid state phono stage connected to a tube line stage packaged as one phono preamp. If the solid state phono stage has enough gain already then a 12AX7 in SRPP line stage will have way t... 
Turnable database with TimeLine
Direct drive is not the only drive system that uses speed correction. Micro Seiki belt drive turntables and some others use speed correction on their motor if not the platter. Either way, it's still servo. Is that always a bad thing? I don't think...
