| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi nandric, TTDD is Technics Temperature Defense Damper. I'm not familiar with their other damper technologies as the only Technics cartridges of interest to me are those with the boron pipe cantilevers, all of which save one (AFAIK) use TTDD. As... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? All Technics carts with TTDD suspensions are prone to this failure. When did Andy attempt repair of your 205CMK3 nandric? | |
| SP-10 parts substitution A picture would help. This is a sub for the MKII/2A micro switch: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=SS-5Dvirtualkey65300000virtualkey653-SS-5D | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? SFTG172-01 was for the MK2A and MK3. The latest equivalent is RGS0010A which is the thicker mat that was used on the SL-1200 MK3, MK4. I've both here, and aside from the part number I can't see any difference. The MKII used SFTG102-01: http://fi... | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? lewm03-15-2016 12:10pmJP, can you amplify on your cryptic comment about the effect of a heavy platter mat? "Drive gain"?Okay, but I’m more than rusty on root locus and complex conjugates. :)My very hasty research this morning indicates rotational ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Yep. Drive gain. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I'll have my MK3 back on the bench in a week or two, time permitting. If someone wants to lend a heavy platter mat to the cause, I can perform some measurements to try and determine the impact to motor performance. My intuition says it's less abo... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? No - last Wayne posted they use a stainless steel platter that they had made with a BA Mat 2. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? lewm03-14-2016 5:54pm2.7 kg!!!!!! (...) Perhaps Peter and JP can chime in on this subject. If you go to a show where Pass Labs have their source setup, you'll likely see a MKII with an ~8kg stainless steel platter. My understanding is their 'tabl... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? lewm03-10-2016 10:42amAcman, In principle, I want your BA Mat2. However, being a computer klutz, I cannot figure out how to contact you from this website...Very kind of you Lew, but it was offered to you, so if you want it you should get it. I hop... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? acman303-09-2016 9:02pmLewm, I have a Mat II I am not using. Contact me offline if you can't find one.I'm interested if Lew passes. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? lewm03-09-2016 4:43pmJP’s philosophy is if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.Let me add some color to that - my philosophy is if it’s not less than optimal, not prone to known reliability issues, etc. then don’t "fix" it. My MN6042 upgrade wasn’t born... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? lewm02-16-2016 8:05pmOne of us...I just ordered my replacement feaux MN6042 from JP. Since my Mk3 is working perfectly, Bill Thalmann advised me to just keep it for a spare, but it's tempting to wonder whether the Mk3 could perform even better wi... |
