| OK, I said it... Pbb- Good show! I don't recall from your previous posts if you have a way to clean records. If not, even an inexpensive tool like the Nitty Gritty will help. RegardsJim | |
| "Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300? Brad- sorry, this site seemed to block out the web address of the site I was directing you to. Let's try it again-Go to turntablebasics dot com.Jim | |
| Which amp is best to drive Magneplanar 1.6's? Another suggestion- CJ Sonographe 400, which is all solid state. ALmost too much bass for the bass-challenged Maggie MG12's (which valiantly tried and failed to produce anything more than distortion below 40-45 hz with the CJ), but the 1.6's will ... | |
| "Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300? Brad- Go to for an idea of what an alignment protractor is/does and how to use it. You'll alo need a good level (the one in your toolbox will do just fine) and the stylus force gauge (the dial force adjuster on the tonearm is usually not very accu... | |
| "Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300? Hi Brad- You might be better off starting another thread to pose your question. This thread has pretty much run it's course and a carefully worded title on a new thread will attract the attention of those who may know of your two tables. On the ot... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 and Moscode 600s Aaron hit it on the head- the amp must be able to handle low impedence and have high current to drive the Maggies. At least 125 WPC doesn't hurt, either, and 200 WPC would be better.Don't get wrapped up in the 4 ohm power rating. Speaker power req... | |
| Three electrostat choices and my room-- need help Don't forget about the Sound Lab Dynastat. Nice fit in your room (only 17" wide), not "beamy" like the Eros, under $5K, ample bass, great SL sound. If you get to San Antonio, I'd be happy to demo mine for you. RegardsJim | |
| Motor Options Thanks, Tom. I heard from Chris at Teres and he gave me the diminsions- their motor is much too large to fit. I've been searching for a Redpoint webpage and cna't seem to find anything- anyone have it?RegardsJim | |
| Motor Options I'd also appreciate any comments on the Teres motor.Thanks!Jim | |

| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long FYI- I found an alternative to lead which greatly simplifies adding weight. It's called "the original Sticky Weight" which is made of tungsten and claims to be 30% heavier (by volume) than lead. It is a consistency that is thicker than modeling cl... | |
| TERES - trially Good OK, I'm curious. How do you make a belt of silk string or fishing line and not have a knot? Or does the knot not matter when it hits the pulley or platter? If you're using a knot, any particular knot to use? To knot or not to knot, that is the que... | |
| Heavy Kit / Power Supply upgrade for Nottingham? I'd look into amps- all tube or hybrid with a bit more power, small room notwithstanding. I, too, have Dynastats and they do like a bit of power as one might expect with electrostats. Currently have an upgraded Counterpoint SA-220 (along with an a... | |
| Finally Taking The Plunge Newbee- It's just Psych's peculiar way of entertaining himself. Ref: Thread titled "Analog Newbee" initiated by member "Funjindemon"- Psych's post of 1/10/02, "I have finally learned how to stirr (sic)controversy in this site and not get heat...",... | |
