| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Noise once you lower the cartridge onto the LP surface is going to be primarily do to the quality of the pressing and any defects in the stylus shape or tracking, surely not due to the bearing assembly, which noise ought to be way below the thresh... | |
| Pick it Pro Balanced cartridge? real balanced? any good? "Actually both the + and - sides of the cartridge output is what floats." Probably that is a better way to say what I said. I certainly don't disagree. | |
| Pick it Pro Balanced cartridge? real balanced? any good? There have been historically a very few cartridges that for example used a single ground for both channels. Those cartridges (Decca, I think, or early Grado) are inherently single-ended and cannot drive a phono stage in balanced mode. But any car... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade Not to beat a tired horse, but when I first read the word "fettler" on this thread, I had no trouble understanding its meaning, owing to our use of the term "fiddling", meaning to mess around with a complex object, and the obvious relationship to ... | |
| Simple tube-use question Remove and clean for sure. There is no useful reason to leave a paper sticker on a vacuum tube. | |
| Resistors for phono preamp There seems to be a general consensus here. If I had to rank my top 3, I would put the TX2575 first by a hair with Caddock TF020 almost undistinguishable. Both slightly ahead of tantalums. (In my experience, there is nothing magic about the Audio... | |
| Resistors for phono preamp Best most transparent resistors in my DIY experience: Texas Instruments TX2575, Caddock TF020, and tantalum any brand. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I googled Logic. Very interesting spring-suspended TT and very reminiscent of the early AR XA turntable, which was my own first true audiophile turntable, probably in 1970-71. I suppose Logic may have crossed my path at some point, and I just for... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I’ve been in the hobby since the early 70s, living in the NE US in proximity to both Boston and NYC, a frequent visitor to some of the legendary stores in those two cities and then living in Washington DC since those days, and I’ve never ever hear... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please The G series is night and day better than any of the 1200 series and its numerical derivatives. This is opinion based on facts. Better (coreless) motor. Better more massive and damped plinth. Improved platter and tonearm. Much better electronic sp... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) What am I looking for? I see the entirety of the old thread. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please If that is your problem with the G series Technics, you ought to be able to get over it. It's just silly. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I had never heard the word "fettler" until reading this thread. I am aware of the term "fettle", as in the term "fine fettle", which I guess means everything is copacetic for that individual or that object. Wikipedia has several disparate definiti... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Dave, Good to hear from you. Lew | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Pryso, It was my impression that the MN6082 was used in the MK3 and in many if not all of the original 1200 series TTs, and probably the SP15, as you say, but I am not sure either way about the MK2. I would have thought it was also used there but ... |
