| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? The question arose whether JVC and Denon plinths are cross-compatible. No, they are not. But might be made to work with some modifications to the plinth. | |
| Linn LP12 & Miyajima Madake or ? Re the Miyajima. These tend to be very low compliance. Thus they would perform best in tonearms with high effective mass. I don't know if the Linn Ekos is in that class, probably not, but you can make up for mass by using a heavier then standar... | |
| I NEED A 16 INCH CORK TURNTABLE MAT Senor Wences, with a curl over the "N". Not "senior". Was having a senior moment. | |
| I NEED A 16 INCH CORK TURNTABLE MAT Reading Mijostyn’s instructions, I am reminded of Senior Wences from the old Ed Sullivan show: “Easy for you. Difficult for me.” | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Can you describe exactly how you did these experiments? As noted, I am only concerned about very short term exposure to 22% Ethanol vs 25% IPA. I certainly don't expect you to repeat your work to appease me, but it would help to better understan... | |
| Help! Monolith turntable platter removal Wedge the platter upward to the end of its travel and then gently tap the spindle with a hard cover book or a tack hammer. Operative word is “gently”. Some platters do bear threaded holes which facilitate their removal. | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? (1) Who said anything about the Destat? (2) I don’t own a Destat, used the plain old Zerostat in my experiment described above, but Benjie’s post is in disagreement with your claim (Benjie is here replying to someone else, but his post does contr... | |
| Vinyl static ionizers who's used them? I procrastinated on the Acaia, but I did buy an FMX003 static charge meter sold on eBay for $175. First experiment was to rip an LP out of its sleeve as rapidly as possible. Charge on the LP surface read -11kV. I then zapped the LP with my 50 year... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Nah. She’s oblivious to the big speakers, maybe because we’ve been married 45 years and I’ve had speakers of similar size, if not even bigger and more ugly (two pairs of KLH 9s) since before we met. | |
| Why No Power Button on Some Phono Stages? Spike, The VP130 is a simple tube phono stage. Most tube units in fact ought to be powered down when not in use. I don’t think there is any argument on that. For some tube units with solid state rectification, it is possible to leave the power sup... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Nandric, I am feeling very old. I will tell my wife to offer you the L07D upon my expiration. I am not sure what is the bone of contention regarding vintage and Japanese turntables, but for what it's worth, I bought all my vintage Japanese TTs he... | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, Did not know that. Is it now standard on new units? Or optional? | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, If remote volume a must, then maybe he has to compromise on the demand for octal triodes. Consider Manley Chinook or Steelhead (used for less than $5K with phono). | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? I have to retract my sentiments about Hifido, to a degree. I once did successfully purchase a turntable from them, Pioneer Exclusive P3. That purchase was carried out on my behalf by a guy who lived in Tokyo. Then he subsequently asked me if I m... | |
| Tube Preamp, uses 6sn7/6sl7. With or Without Phono; With or Without Remote Volume, Pindac, I see your point, but on the other hand, what is the value of your post if no pertinent information is given that would permit anyone else to benefit from your knowledge and experience? If you want to honor the privacy of the maker, you mi... |
