| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray I just did a quick online search, and Y30 or Y35 ferrite magnet discs of varying dimensions are readily available! On the old Verdier web-site JC Verdier spec’d out the type of carbon steel used, TELAR 57 of ARMCO, which have the suita... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray The magnet replacement is really a rarity. Did you replace both the top and bottom magnets? How did you attached the magnets to the aluminum platter? How did you remove the magnets from the platter to begin with? Can you post some pictu... | |
| Koetsu cartridges. They must be something special. I do not own a Koetsu, though eventually I will, either a vermillion or a RSP. And I certainly do not mean to crash this party. My point with the J Carr video is that I suspect that the Lyra assembly model might be based on the Koetsu model. Alth... | |
| Koetsu cartridges. They must be something special. Yes, I saw that video. Jonathan Carr was featured in a video where he explained the actual assembly process of Lyra cartridges. The main artisan for Lyra is Mishima-San. However, there are a number of apprentices who do preparation work. And the... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lewm The more I look at the La Platine, the more I think you are correct about the incompatibility of the Eclipse drive system with it. I doubt if SOTA would provide a definitive answer. It would be good to hear from someone who has tried. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lewm The sensor would be placed on the underside of the aluminum alloy platter which overhangs the magnets by about 4cm. The actual magnet sensor is approximately 5mm. If it is placed close to the edge of the platter, then there would be a 3.5c... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @qwin Have you found the source of your problem? It’s a very weird condition. I have never had a suction problem as you described. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @mr_gray Thank you for the concise summary of your experience with the La Platine. I have a few questions: 1. Are you listening to the turntable with the suspension defeated? When you say that it sounds more ‘analytical’ without suspension, my... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @qwin I am happy that there is improvement in SQ. The pump I used before, Eheim 400, is similar to yours in power output, I believe. I recall going up to maybe 60L so there should be plenty of reserve in the pump to experiment. on a different not... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @qwin Thanks for the update. The polystyrene balls will help in smoothing out the pulses. Another trick is extra long connecting tube, 10m or more. It can be 'coilied' and that helps too. Do you hear better sound quality? I certainly hope so! ... | |
| Any comments on Presto Music Streaming Services? I like Presto Music, bought cd’s and vinyls. It uses Royal Postal Service for shipping so shipping rates are excellent. And customer services is top notch. l live in a part of the world where I can’t get Qobuz legally. I will definitely subscribe... | |
| Phono stages: Hagerman and Sun Valley 1616 possible giant killers I have the Sun Valley EQ-1616D. It is used with NOS Telefunken EEC883's, Mullard EEC82, and Psvane 274 tube set which increases its total cost. But NOS tubes do elevate the sonics of of the phono stage. I do not have a Hagerman. But I have anothe... | |
| Looking for Wadia 16 parts; specifically “Servo” board” How is your Wadia 16 doing? I have one that is playing fine. A tech replaced the laser head, Sony ess 151a, a few years back. But it still has problems reading some docs, maybe one out of 50. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @qwin i too have a transimpedance / current mode phono, Channel D and an extra XLR cable. I do have to be careful when handling it. Prior to threading the wire through the pivot point, I pass the wire through the next hole closer to the counte... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @qwin Wow! The resuscitated and reinvigorated Terminator has really got your juices flowing… really nice work on the silver cables. You use a junction box to terminate the phono wires from the Terminator. Why don’t you run it direct to the phono ... |
