6sn7 and 12sn7 octal preamp for under $5k
Did not realize that Paul, thanks for the clarification regarding the Melody 101 mfg. origins. 
6sn7 and 12sn7 octal preamp for under $5k
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. The Melody Valve looks interesting but not sure if I would invest in a Chinese built hi-end preamp, at lease at this point in time. Does anyone have any experience with the Thoress preamp from Germany? I belie...

Lyra Delos vs. Kleos?
Syntax, (or anyone else with direct experience) how would you describe the midrange qualities of the Delos vs. the Kleos? Is one tonally different from the other? thanks 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
"However, I really do not think that they have a bunch of physicists working for them"Neither do any of the other modifiers of Lenco or Garrard for that matter. I somehow seriously doubt the majority of diy folks could build anything like the Arti... 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
Talk about a serious Garrard 301, they just launched a new reference model 301 at Artisan Fidelity I emailed Christopher about the design features, am eagerly awaiting his answer :) I am totally drooling over this table about now...price has yet t... 
Vintage or new turntable
I respect the 1200 and 1210 Technics but its for the reliability more than anything. Sound wise and looks wise they just never did a thing for me, I'd take a good vintage belt drive any day. I know they have a really faithful dj following but for ...

Greetings Hiho, wrong there actually with the one man operation Artisan fidelity comment. There's one owner/ designer right (Christopher), but according to my notes they've got several woodworkers, a part time electronics tech and a couple machini...

Spoke directly with Christopher from Artisan Fidelity at some length about the idea of using a power conditioner or regenerator with a Lenco L75. He said they and several of their customers had tried several top ac line conditioner devices with th... 
Vintage or new turntable
I also like vintage Thorens - TD160 Supers are cool, but still need a little work if purchased stock, I like the Linn LP12 too soundwise but they are just way too tweaky and fussy for me. Artisan used to convert TD160 Mk1 to "Super" level with a t... 
TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range?
Modified Lenco L75. If done properly will run with the big tables and even beat many. Expect to pay $5k and up for a real serious one. Check the forums for others experiences, most will concur - these things are the real deal, puts many more expen... 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
Agreed with JHendrixfan to keep it to the pro restoration companies like Artisan Fidelity (thornton), Dobbinss ect, ect.. to get the most out of these vintage decks. I heard a modded Lenco in a big modern system before and it was just incredible a...

So does that mean you should run the Lenco motor at a lower frequency also?? 
Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply
Interesting, but confusing...If you run the table at 47 Hz then won't it run too slow? Sorry, if I am not getting it.. Just seems as if it might not lock onto 33 or 45 if running 47Hz with a 60Hz pulley, or 50Hz pulley for that matter.
