| Tri-planar vs Graham Duane: I live with the Phantom since a few years and I change turntables very often. I have never experienced an easyer arm to set up, and cartridge alignment is a children play with his clever alignment devices. Once everything is set up correct,... | |
| Thorens 124 compared to new best tt I will compare my TD 124 with slate plinth with my friend T.W. Acustic Raven 3 motors with same tonearm/cartridge next week and will report this if you are interested.Best, Jean. | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Question: I am building two different turntables with different platter diameters, different spindle diameter and want to use the same removable armboard with same tonearm, what is the best way to achieve the correct mounting hole/ needle distance... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Speaking of Dr. Feickert, doesn't his alignment device measures the exact distance between the needle and the pivot point ? This is the question of this thread isn'it ? | |
| Thorens 124 compared to new best tt Building and marketing a new turntable with all the virtues of a TD 124 would be extremely expensive. Think of it:4 speeds, 220/110V 50/60 Hz inboard commutator,switchable cluch upper platter, build in 4 speeds lighted strobe, precise speed variat... | |

| Base for Verdier La Platine For Verdier a slate base seems very nice. Better than granite anyway. | |

| Which entry level phono stage, Graham Slee or Pro- Graham Slee is wide bandwith very very hard to beat in SS phonostages ballroom | |
| How far I can go with tonearms on my Thorens 124? I actualy use the TD 124 with Graham Phantom / Jan Allaerts Finish as my reference . It is a combo made in heaven. I suggest some upgrades for the TD 124 to perform the best : 1/ Slate plinth 2/ Slate tonearmboard 3/ remove the rubber mushrooms an... | |
