| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I would seek a seller who is willing to provide a history of service and to guarantee that the DP80 is in perfect working condition. Second, bear in mind that most likely any DP80 you find will have been built for 100V AC supply. That is zero pro... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Alex, the Pioneer Exclusive P3 is my great white whale. I’ve always wanted one. We visit Tokyo annually because our son lives there. I’ve never seen one in the flesh and for sale even in Tokyo. Even on Hifido. If you have an idea where I can find ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Cost is one reason why I recommended a Denon DP75 or 80 instead of an SP10 Mk2 or other, and in this case I would additionally recommend to this OP that he purchase from a reliable source who is willing to guarantee operating condition and shows a... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Lenco made belt drives at one point in its existence, just to say the Bogen may be a re-badged Lenco belt drive, or not. (I just cannot recall for sure.) Mea culpa. See here. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please The TTs on your list above are all belt driven types. In my opinion if you want to get closest to the idler drive sonics of the Garrard 301, direct drive is your best bet. Another option is Lenco, which I happen to believe can be made to sound as ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Chakster had a wealth of opinions that would not let facts stand in their way. But I miss him too and hope he’s ok. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I currently own and use four different Japanese DD turntables (Kenwood L07D, Technics SP10 Mk3, Victor TT101, and Denon DP80), and in the past i owned a few others (especially Technics SP10 Mk2 and Mk2A). Since cost is an object, I would recommen... | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III Is the alphanumeric code, 192-VN35E, correct for what you ordered? If so, ND may just stand for nude, and they may figure the code is sufficient as a specific further identifier. | |
| Installed A Kiseki Black Heart Today. Lovely Cartridge I'll wait for you to listen to the Kiseki a bit longer and then hope you have another listen to the MC2000, for a formal ABA type comparison. Incidentally, I had my Koetsu Urushi re-tipped (just a new stylus on the original cantilever) by Expert ... | |
| Installed A Kiseki Black Heart Today. Lovely Cartridge How does it compare to MC2000, once you’ve listened for a few hours and maybe go back to the Ortofon? Maybe you don’t know yet. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? "How about a threesome?" Is what it might say. Cartridges can be kinky. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? Whereas you can get in trouble for having more than one household, both financial and emotional, there is much to be said for polygamy when it comes to cartridges. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? This is a meaningless conversation because none of us has defined what is meant when you say a cartridge is “lasting” or has reached the state of being “worn out”.. In previous threads 500 hours or thereabouts was often quoted as the typical lifes... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade What davey said, especially if considering an opinion from "some guy". | |
| Phono preamp upgrade price/performance From what I read on-line, the Arcam A15 is a one-piece unit that can do just about anything in the digital or analog world, provided one limits oneself to an MM cartridge. That's asking a lot from one chassis. So it's quite likely that you would e... |
