| Technics 1200MKII Burning Smell Your turntable may be long overdue for some motor spindle oil. It's supposed to be replenished after every 2000 to 3000 hours of play, and I bet the overwhelming majority of SL12x0 owners have never oiled their turntables. You can get a small tube... | |
| Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions? 04-20-09: LearsfoolWith all due respect to the fans of Technics, I personally would argue that there is a reason they are known as "DJ" tables. And that reason is simply that they spin up to speed in 1/4 turn and can take a beating night after nig... | |
| Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions? 04-20-09: Burnsy1is it that hard to find vinyl? My goal is not to replace my library of cd's but obtain albums over time. You're on the right track and know what you want. It's easy and fun to find vinyl. I had about a dozen LPs two years ago, jus... | |
| Trying to get in to vinyl, turntable suggestions? 04-19-09: Burnsy1Thanks for the info so far. Checking out the technics on ebay, there are a handfull at varying prices. Anything in particular I should watch out for when considering used? I notice many of these were used by dj's... is that a lot ... | |
| Anyone have any experience with the Naogoka MP110? If your OM10 is dragging, perhaps you need to raise your tonearm, or use a thinner turntable mat.Another suggestion: Look at the profile of Ortofon's new 2M series. It appears that the cartridge body tapers upward almost from the cantilever locati... | |
| Denon DP-1200 Cartridges/Upgrades and manual I have both a Denon DL-160 and Audio Technica AT150MLX. The Denon is nice, but the AT absolutely kicks its butt--faster, more detailed, airier, lusher, and yet more articulate. The AT150MLX is still in your price range. Last time I checked you cou... | |
| How large of a speaker do I need Marty has a great idea here. It's *easy* to get good imaging from little stand-mounted speakers (and don't scrimp on the stands). Then get a good subwoofer and the Velodyne module. This will enable you to actively tune the bass to the room, both i... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years 04-15-09: RjaOne thing I like is that more manufacturers are finding that MDF is NOT the ONLY suitable material for building excellent speaker enclosures. IMO: It's been a limiting factor. Yes. Wilson knew it all along, but their solution is very ... | |
| Large PA schematic for awkward space I think line array...any ideas?I think Cerwin-Vega. | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years 04-14-09: Clio09If you highly value timbre in a speaker design, you really need to listen to the Audiokinesis Jazz Modules or Dream Maker speakers. In the writeup on its Jazz Module, Audiokinesis writes:Natural timbre arises from smooth frequency ... | |
| Turntable advice? It does, however sound a bit "stiff" compared to the P1's more "relaxed" sound, if that makes any sense. There's a downside to a too relaxed sound. I think it comes from the stretchiness of the belt allowing the platter to slow down slightly and t... | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart 04-13-09: RichmonI really need to spend alot more time with a turntable, cause the difference between that 50K Lp system and my humble rig was not noteworthy. Maybe a longer audition in my home will reveal this proported superiority of analog over... | |
| Denon AH-D5000 anyone compare to Grado RS 1i Btw, Johnny fyi - if i'm not mistaken, not all Beyer models are open. I didn't mean to imply that they are; just that *in general* the better open back 'phones sound more real than the closed cans do. | |
| sounstage too big bad thing Have you given the cables time to run in? I've heard un-broken-in cables and electronics sound the way you described. After they have been played in for awhile (20 to 100 hrs, depending on the cable), the soundstage perspective and details settle ... | |
| best 'affordable' turntable with moving coil cart 04-13-09: Richmon...So, with fiscal caution I'm going in, the Denon turntables you recomended look particulary interesting for my maiden voyage.Before you jump on the Denon, I suggest you read this thread.The responses in that thread laid to rest ... |
