| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi, Fishwinker,Another suggestion, I have run into a Lenco that actually had the cone assembly bent so that the rotor/cone assembly wobbled sideways, which also caused the idler wheel to wobble back and forth. To diagnose this, take the platter of... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I have to say that 4yanx has been probably the most innovative plinth makers on the old thread, as well as having some of the most gorgeous craftsmanship. Probably the first to have really heavy plinths, the first to have the arm mounted on a sepa... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Over the years, there were a lot of other posters who contributed to the original Home Despot thread. Doing some more data mining, here are some useful hints and tips from them. This is by no means all inclusive, sorry for any omissions but I didn... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Another long post. Data mining my saved posts from Home Despot I, here are some comments from posters comparing their Lencos with other turntables. Note that Dopogue used to own a VPI TNT Mk II, Alpert Porter owns a Walker and compared it with a b... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Here's a revised list of things to do, original courtesy of Munkie_NL, additions, revisions and comments mostly by Johnnantais from the original Home Despot thread. Sorry for the length but it's still much faster than reading 3700 posts :-)The Len... | |
| ? Speakers for a vintage tube receiver Another possibility is the Rectilinear III, which was a competitor in price and quality with the AR-3A back in the late 60s - early 70s. They were the first good set of speakers I heard. For nostalgia's sake I have a set that I use with a Fisher 4... | |
| Lenco L75, L78 derivatives, any good? There's excellent info on all the different Lenco models at: http://www.btinternet.com/~a.d.richarson/hifi/lenco/lenco_land.html. You can cut and paste this address or do a Google search for Lencoland.Basically, the mechanism for all the idler whe... | |
| Lenco L75, L78 derivatives, any good? The L75/S is the same as the L75 with a more modern tonearm. The basic mechanism is the same as the L75/78. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Original Quad electrostatics and Avantgarde Duos.The Quads are the most natural, immediate and alive sounding speakers I have heard. It also is a relatively practical speaker in cost and size. It makes most other speakers sound like, well, speaker... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Whoops, above post refers to original Quads. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Back when I bought them I was originally going to get Rogers LS3/5as, but one listen was enough for me to scrape up the extra dough to get a used pair. Used with Dyna Stereo 70, then Berning EA-230, and most recently with a parallel single ended 3... | |
| Recommend good satellite speakers? Assuming you want small speakers for a relatively small room, e.g. LS3/5a size, consider the Harbeth HL-P3ES/Monitor 20. The BBC is currently replacing a number of their LS3/5a's with the Monitor 20, which is just the "pro" version of the P3ES - t... |
