| 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... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. In Pindac, TA means ToneArm | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum I think the idea is that Mijostyn is probably a long time customer, and if that is the case, then he has purchased many tens of thousands of dollars from this same vendor. Also, he is reputable. Given all those things, the consensus seems to be ... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. That is for you to find out after you have compared a variety of TTs in your home system. Speaking for myself, if you don't already "believe", it would be a waste of time to convince you, but I do think that your own experience will eventually te... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights Terry, no, I am not talking or thinking about a loss of high frequencies in the audible range. Suffice to say I prefer the L07D without its peripheral ring. Any adjective I choose is bound to give someone somewhere the wrong impression. Language f... | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. Disagree. Turntables make a big difference, but never to the exclusion of the effects of the tonearm/cartridge match. My listening experience suggests that the tonearm and cartridge should be considered as one. As a result, within limits of course... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights FWIW, Kenwood made a peripheral ring back in the early 80s for the L07D. If you use it, there’s a special setting on the power supply/motor control module so the servo then compensates for the added inertial mass. Yet the ring seems to slightly do... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" The VPI RCMs may be relatively crude looking, and the vacuum motors may make a lot of noise (mine does), but one cannot complain about a product that has worked flawlessly for more than 25 years, most of the time holding mildly corrosive liquids i... | |
| UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red Every time I see this thread title, I cannot help wondering what damage might have been done of the UPS driver figuratively dropped the box containing the Hana Umami Red, which already sounds like an exotic Asian spice or illicit drug. Or hypothe... | |
| Not your run-of-the-mill, used spinner. You won’t find out what it sells for on Audiogon. They block that information probably for the sake of the buyer’s and seller’s privacy. | |
| Reed 2G vs 3P…..Opinion please! I have no idea about those cartridges except to say that whoever named them is a marketing genius of sorts. The syllables alone are worth thousands. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" As mentioned several times above, I have been using 25% IPA in water plus about 0.1% Triton X100 for many years before now. About 10-15 years ago, I started to worry whether the mixture left an undesirable residue on my LPs, even after vacuum dryi... |
