| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply I am a fan of the PS Audio regenerators and have no reason to believe the Monarchy is not also good. What I have found is that there is no telling in advance where they’re going to provide an audible improvement. My old PS300 failed and PS Audio d... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound Dear kevemaher, you are an audiophile extraordinaire, and you merit admiration by nearly all of the rest of us. What I think you’ve revealed is that traditional measurements, such as those you have made, don’t tell the whole story. Else why can we... | |
| The damper, the tension wire and cantilever position Adopting me as your English professor is a situation up with which I will not put. Also, regarding NZ sourced wines, my wife has a predilection for their Sauvignon Blanc above most others. I know nothing about dampers, cantilevers, and whatnot, bu... | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply In other words, the step down acts as an isolation transformer, protecting ancillary equipment from EMI that may emanate from the TT motor. | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply Wrm, sorry if that appeared harsh. Some who come here for advice will take that advice quite literally. Just wanted to clarify to the OP that he need not spend $600 in order to enjoy his new TT. to others who seem to believe that using a step dow... | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever Wolfie, I am just curious. You stated that US cleaning is naught but a fad. Then in the same post you said you had some LPs cleaned professionally and that you were dissatisfied. This led you to clean them yourself, presumably with your US clea... | |
| Is the Technics SP10R motor controller using a switching power supply This is not a problem. Use an appropriate step down transformer that plugs into your house AC line, be it 120V or European. I have 3 different vintage Japanese turntables each happily running off a separate 120V to 100V step down transformer. Each... | |
| Grado Epoch 3 I’m no fan of SUTs either, but your conception of a signal passing through “miles” of wire, as if the wire was laid out linearly, is not exactly analogous to what’s happening in the primary and secondary windings of a SUT. If the model was accurat... | |
| Looking for Tonearm Advice/Suggestions In my opinion, individual pieces do make a contribution to overall sound quality, but in the end you’re listening to an ensemble of components and unless something is grossly malfunctioning it would be hard for a stranger to pick it apart and tell... | |
| Looking for Tonearm Advice/Suggestions I agree with Raul in that you probably ought to have first selected a new cartridge and then a tonearm that best suited your choice of cartridge. However, you have chosen a very fine tonearm that should work well with almost anything, so not much ... | |
| List of plinth builders for Technics SP10 MK3 I am sure that Dr Kaneta is one of the great geniuses of all time, in the category of an Einstein. That wasn’t my point. Apologies to his family if I did not pay heed to his seminal contributions to audio. I would still credit Steve Dobbins with ... | |
| List of plinth builders for Technics SP10 MK3 Strictly speaking, I think the Kaneta plinth was designed for the mk2 and not the mk3. The two chassis’ present distinctly different issues, because the mk2 is larger below the surface and houses all the electronics. Thus re-plinthing, if you want... | |
| List of plinth builders for Technics SP10 MK3 Rich, surely you’re aware of Albert Porter’s panzerholz plinth for the mk3. Has he ceased to sell them? | |
| USD vs Yen who is cashing in! TechDAS All prices for luxury items are crazy, if you’ve lived long enough. And most of us have. I certainly did not intend to start another round of kvetching and finger pointing about prices. That bores me. | |
| USD vs Yen who is cashing in! TechDAS Sorry, 1.8M yen after deducting VAT, not 1.6M. |
