| Most PRACTICAL, yet good sounding REEL to REEL ??? Johnnyb53. Your interest in a reel to reel machine can lead you to some of the best sound you will ever glean from the audio spectrum. Albert is right on regarding the Technics machine-- if you can find one. I was lucky; bought a 1500 machine for ... | |
| VPI SDS Whys and Hows? Hi markd51, TT motors are fly weight power consumers. The VPI HRX motor system consumes 14 watts of power, and that's for a 2 motor drive unit. An SDS drive will drive 2 of these 30 lb units, 100% overkill. Do we need a 15 amp connector to power a... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Pauly, Kudos to the 3 Ds and Cello, "Taking a chance," might be considered to be a badge of honor, unless you have the hours, years, and dollars, AND WILL, to make a mistake by trying something that might make a difference. If proven performance i... | |
| Zeta tonearm serial number Hi Breezer, I am a fellow Zeta owner, I think the arm is great; too bad I'm one of few that had that opinion. I chose it over the Alphason S shaped arm that was all the rage in the mid 80's. I purchased it from Reference Monitor International, Ca... | |
| platine motor with nylon thread Clio09. I read info on the Scheu tables a while back and noticed the motor -pulley configuration. I can understand your problem with the vibration with your table. It sure seems that mono would be the ticket for your table. Mono acts more like a s... | |
| platine motor with nylon thread Clio09, It will be great to find out how it works for you, as it will be a month or so before I can tie mine up and try it. Pechtm, your Platine has a massive platter, if your try the braided line , your results would be interesting. Ken | |
| platine motor with nylon thread Clio09, The line you need to look for is branded "Stren Super Braid." The first roll I purchased had Teflon, I didn't realize that fact until I got home and read the information on the box. Who reads directions ? I went back to the store and asked... | |
| platine motor with nylon thread George, Any woven line will transmit more vibration than a mono type. If the vibration in the drive system is sufficiently high, a lighter, more elastic drive belt will certainly lower the transmitted vibration to the platter. At the same time the... | |
| platine motor with nylon thread "Gonners'"-- Those of you using thread drive might want to try making a belt using 30 lb. test Spyder Wire, braided not monofilament, WITHOUT teflon coating. Tie a single SQUARE knot and bond it with a drop of super glue off the tip of a hat pin. ... | |
| Vibraplane vs. Minus k for Turntables Larry, All the Minus K vibration isolators have leveling feet. I don't know about the work stations as I never considered purchasing one. They are, however, very robust and will no doubt provide you with a stand second to none with regard to rigid... | |
| Vibraplane vs. Minus k for Turntables Ten months ago I looked into the Vibraplane, Minus K, and the Halcyonics platforms. The Minus K web site, namely the links to the audio applications, prompted me to lean toward Minus K. It is made in America, utilizes only passive components that ... | |

| Cartridge break in device Doug, The demag unit I have is a Sumiko that I purchased 15 or 20 years ago. I never used it since I never listened to much vinyl. What are the conditions that result in magnetization of a cartridge? Is it hours of playing time, months- years, bot... | |
| Cartridge break in device Doug, The Cardas lp is a good Idea. I read it was good as a demagnetizer, but since I have a cart demag unit, I never gave any thought. From what I remember of Fremmer's remarks, it broke in the suspension without exposing the stylus to unnecessa... | |
