| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Did he or will you tell us what the problem was? My guess is that it was not what JCarr mentioned; "holes" in the coil insulation causing a coil or the coils to develop an internal short. Because I don't think that would be repairable. | |
| Does someone’s opinion affect your opinion? Stop reading equipment reviews for the opinions usually expressed in the last paragraph. When I occasionally read reviews, I stop once I have reached an understanding of how the thing works and what might make it unique or at least worthy of furt... | |

| What is turntable “liveliness”. But it seems you’re saying that one required a good acoustic, by which I assume you mean a good listening room, to divine the difference between early RBCDs and vinyl. In my opinion there’s no listening space bad enough to obscure the vast gulf be... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. Mahgister, if you preferred early RBCDs to vinyl as it was ca mid-1980s, then just to begin with, we are miles apart. I found early RBCDs to be so odious that I could not stand to hear them even in someone else’s house, let alone in mine. Ossicle... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red Mulveling, Re my Quicksilver preamplifier, the problem was that the capacitors I installed were way larger than the original capacitors that were replaced.

| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights The world of modifying these vintage turntables is such a tiny one, I can only wonder why you cannot include the name(s) of these "renowned" engineers so others might benefit. And the engineer might also benefit in terms of increased earnings. In... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights You might want to investigate the modifications made by Richard Krebs for Technics SP10 Mk2 and Mk3. He spent a lot of time investigating the stators and how to stabilize them. I have had my own Mk3 modified according to Richard's Ideas, by a lo... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. “Turntables have no sound” is the theoretical goal. But real world turntables don’t get there. | |
| Have There Ever Been Fake Koetsu? I had my Urushi retipped by Expert Stylus in the UK, recently. They installed a new stylus but did not replace the cantilever. Their work is neat like the original. I could contrast it with a replacement sapphire cantilever plus OCL stylus done ... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. It's impossible to "prove" either side of this debate, because there is a subjective element that cannot be removed from the equation, although I don't know that intrinsic SQ differences among turntables (excluding the obvious differences among to... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights If a stator bowl is what I think it is, you may as well redesign and replace the whole motor. And once you’ve done that, you need to address the function of any speed control mechanism. If you go deeply into that area, you may succeed in never hav... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Yes, for a period of time Porsche replaced some engines after the problem became a public disgrace. Replacing the bearing is not a panacea, because the problem is in the design itself. A few US based companies made replacements with a different d... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Never miss an opportunity to remind us you own a Porsche. Porsche the company is not the best brand to bring up in a discussion of customer relations and customer support. You must know about the notorious Intermediate Shaft Bearing used on type... | |
