| Garrard 301 - Project Pindac, I thought you were never going to respond again to one of my posts? How dreary that you cannot resist. First, I never said slate was superior to Panzerholz. Second, neither OMA nor the British company to whom you refer was first to use s... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Ok. From now on I will accept your pronouncements without question. But I won’t be able to reproduce your data for slate or any other material, because you refuse to explain your methodology. Also, in what way are you not a “layman” when it comes ... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? An LP can never be as quiet as a CD in terms of low frequency noise, because RBCDs have a brick wall filter at around 20Hz; there is nothing below that frequency on a CD. Which is one reason I DON"T like CDs. That emphatic dead silent and abrupt ... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? In all cases, at all settings, my Steelhead is very quiet. So (Snackey), I am wondering whence comes the noise you say was bothersome when you set gain at 65db via the MM inputs. Try reducing the gain setting in 5-db increments until you get to a... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project And your method for arriving at a numerical damping factor with plinth materials, Pindac? We also have to ask where is all this spurious energy coming from? Also keep in mind that European slate is different from Pennsylvania slate, just as PA sl... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? I am quite sure that some other company makes or made the Koetsu SUT for Koetsu, and then slapped the Koetsu name on the product. Just like the Koetsu tonearm was made for them by Jelco. Audio Note (Japan or UK) is a fairly wide ranging enterpris... | |
| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer I thought each PHT contained a crystal of some kind or another. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I use slate combined with cherrywood in two layers, for my Technics SP10 mk3. I listened to it befor and after adding the cherrywood base. It seemed a touch better after cherrywood was added. Pindac, hoe did you assign a numerical value to dampin... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? Maybe because designing and especially building a SUT is a vastly different enterprise from designing and building an MC cartridge for a small company like MSL. You’ll notice that among cartridge makers only the big guys also make SUTs, like Denon... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Fsonic, My own Lenco is mounted in a 50mm slab of PA slate. However, it also benefits from a PTP top plate, a hefty after market bearing, a platter that has been painted with vibration reducing black paint, speed that is regulated by the Phoenix E... | |
| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer I still wonder how they could have any effect at all, of any kind, except by perhaps changing the resonant frequency of the headshell/cartridge, and even that is a stretch of my imagination. But I have not tried one so I won't go any more negative... | |
| How to modify a for sale listing Didn’t see it because was on my cell phone with poor visibility. Now I am at my computer and do see it. Thanks. On my cell and on my computer, the bottom of every page is obstructed with an ad superimposed on the tiny icon for "contact us". But no... | |
| Inflation being tracked in the UK with vinyl records Conspiracy theories are in conflict. Causes of inflation are very complex but cost of vinyl certainly is not a metric. In the US, costs of food, housing, and energy most certainly are used to calculate the inflation rate. https://www.brookings.ed... | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... Nice but price is a bit stiff unless both are mint and table is thoroughly refurbished, IMO. | |
| How to modify a for sale listing Thanks to you both. Perhaps I’m an impatient searcher, but I did not find “contact us”, and when I accessed my ad via my personal dashboard, after declining an offer, there was/is no button for modifying the ad copy, and there is a statement that ... |
