| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @saburo Thank you for your cartridge recommendations. ZYX U Optimum is a bit out of my range. When I had the Ultimate 100, the ZYX dealer recommended a Ultimate Omega as the next jump in SQ. The Benz Ebony TR is new to me.Correct me if I am wrong,... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @ chakster I know you have been long time advocate of the virtues of MM's and NOS MC's. And I do recall coming across threads where you mentioned 47 Labs electronics, but did not know until now it included their current mode phono stage. I have ... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @ ilaz, I am curious to know if the Lino C has been delivered and operational? A brief summary would be appreciated.@ Mikld, There is an additional issue to consider with this phono stage. The battery pack is best used under 80 Fahrenheit degree... | |
| Joni Mitchell, BLUE album is 50 years old, NYT Article +1 Ann Power’s article as mentioned by @tomic601. Ann Power is about as eloquent and insightful an observer of popular music as exists today. Her article comparing the minimalism of both Blue and Kind of Blue, among other insights, is a great read... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @pani I appreciate the video and the beautiful motor / flywheel assembly. Yes, it comes from a very committed Verdier adopter. Regarding tweaking the Verdier, there are two aspects. The first is to understand the original intent of the designer. ... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @lewm A slight correction on the platter weight, it is 18 kg. It seems that 'high torque, low inertia' is a very common motor type. The low inertia refers to the non-moving part of the motor. And it is characterized by an ability to start and sto... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @pani During the past long weekend here, it was spent carefully listening for the ‘ slowness ‘ you mentioned in the belt-drive format. Frankly without a direct comparison, I do not hear it. My sole experience with idler drive is from a Garrard 3... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine During the past six months, I have concentrated on improving the performances of my arm, Trans-Fi Terminator, and cartridge ( Audio Tekne MC6310 ) alignment, VTF, VTA..etc. The sound quality from vinyl playback is quite unbelievable. Last night th... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Over the past month I had gotten back into refining the air regulation arena, partly inspired by Don @redcars and Terry. The additions of gauge and surge tanks have provided some numerical data points. I am able to make the following observations:... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Marc,Thanks for that input. And Andrey is carrying on the mantle, so hitting a thousand should be a matter of time. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Terry,Congrats on the success of the Panzerholz wand. It looks like your are getting very comfortable with it. FYI, the link below shows a pre-Tomahawk wand carrying an Ortofon SPU : https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=1539.0. I rec... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Over the past week, I followed old threads on the Terminator from the forum Lenco Heaven. Apparently there were quite a few early adopters of the arm circa 2009, pre - Tomahawk days. I’d like to share a few interesting notes:1. Vic designed a cust... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Don,I did pay attention to the gauge you employed, 0-3 psi. Unfortunately, for us in the metric universe, the smallest gauge I was able to obtain is 1 kg /cm2 or 14 psi. I have a 0-3 psi and 0-5 psi gauge on order. The reading I am getting obvious... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Don,Buying a second Terminator certainly is a resounding endorsement!We all have come to the Terminator from other branded, more expensive, highly touted...etc. arms. For one reason or another bought the Terminator as a cost effective way to expe... |
