| Time to get things straight. Bravo, Ohlala- You're post on 5/3 hits the nail on the head. Also, in a previous post, Psychic said he loves to stir up controversy, then step back and watch the fur fly. Unfortunately, little of that is constructive, just as this thread is not ve... | |
| Time to get things straight. C'mon guys, give Psychic a break. He's extremely knowledgeable. For example- he's the only one who knew that the 1200 has a direct drive motor that doesn't need to contact the platter in any way to drive it. Magnetic Pulse Drive I think he called ... | |
| Help with NEW MC cartridge putchase Jeff Wu- Yes, with two tone arms of different designs, compliance can be a concern. Different combinations can resonate and cause trackability problems. A high compliance cartridge on a low mass arm is essentially the "tail wagging the dog", or, i... | |
| TIME TO REPLACE THE XTZ Taking Twl's idea a step further, you could use the alcohol stove to create steam to create enough electricity to power the Remote Magnetic Pulse Drive System for an SL1200, then turn the deck into a dance floor. BTW- I'm a sailor. Race and Cruise... | |
| Time to get things straight. Twl- You don't have to make the upgrade to the 1200, the Sansui and the Cerwin-Vegas at the same time. You can trade up to each one at a time as funding permits. With any luck, your hair will be long enough just about the time that the system is c... | |
| Time to get things straight. Great table! Both of the DJ's you quoted above are spot-on. Got a couple of Nottingham's for my dance club and the PRAT was so bad that no one would dance. (We never did find the "ON" switch.) After a month of back-scratching and needle dropping a... | |
| TIME TO REPLACE THE XTZ Gumby- Seems like there is a fairly good market for the 707 if you are looking to sell. You might be able to fetch close to a couple hundred and then turn around and find a used RB-250 with the OL mods plus another armboard for not much more. Heck... | |
| TIME TO REPLACE THE XTZ I agree with Ivanj's comment that a high output MC might work well for you but, in your price range, you're going to be looking at MM. If you could move up a bit, alot of folks here on 'Gon have been raving about the Denon 103. If you must stick w... | |
| Seeking advice from the SL1200 fan s Zaikesman- We're getting a little off-topic here. My initial post was only to clarify a previous post by another member. But, to briefly answer your question on a platter being part of a stator, the outer part of the motor which is typically the s... | |
| Seeking advice from the SL1200 fan s Just to clarify for Brad, the platters on ANY direct drive are mechanically fastened directly to or are a part of the motor, hence the term "direct drive". In many cases, the platter is an integral part of the motor, forming either part of the sta... | |
| Getting started on vinly - new/used setup for 500 Brookland Audio is one of the most respected dealers here on 'Gon. In the course of business, they see plenty of things come and go every week- far more than any of us as individuals do. I have every confidence that their comments are both fair an... | |
| Removing fine scratches on tt dustcover All of the suggestions above will achieve good results, although some will require more "elbow grease" than others. Adding a couple more ideas- 3M makes a polish for this application and any large plastics supplier has polishing rouge and buffing ... | |
| could use some good advice on turntables.. Actually, the Scout is just about the same price as the 1400. I've not heard either one, but if I were in the market for a new table in that price range, both would be on a very short list. There may be a bit of a wait on the Scout, though- rumor ... | |
| Low Frequency Rumble Question Seeing that the problem occured only on a couple of albums, I would tend to think that it is those albums that are the problem. However, you may want to clean/inspect/re-lube the main bearing on the Linn. A resonance problem would possibly manifes... | |
| CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT????? The steamvac idea for tough jobs intrigues me, but one would need to be careful of heating/warping the record. As far as formulations, mine is similar to SDC's but with half of the alcohol and one or two drops of dishwashing soap per pint. (Any mo... |
