| What is turntable “liveliness”. .05% of 33.33 rpm is 0.01666 rpm. I doubt any turntable one can buy is accurate within +/-.01666 rpm, but I do agree that absolute speed accuracy is overrated. Rather, speed constancy is what differentiates among turntables, the capacity to hold ... | |
| Vacuuming after ultrasonic vinyl cleaning Any of several anti-static devices or strategies actually does work to reduce accumulated static charge on an LP surface. I acquired a meter to measure static charge in order to prove that for myself. Even the lowly Zerostat works to reduce the c... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Mike, When you use the word "filament", what actually was it? A hair? Or a piece of fine wire that wandered in during the manufacturing process? But it probably was not a conductor else your L channel would have been shorted out from new. Yes? Co... | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... Snake oil is not a good conductor. | |
| 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. Ergo, the upgraded capacitors simply could not fit securely where the originals were insta... | |
| 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 ... |
