| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Perhaps facts speak for themselves, but where are the facts in your insulting post? Also, I do not want to be dragged into defending the Triplanar. That has nothing to do with it. It is the manner in which you delivered your opinion. Don't you ... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Raul, that was not a constructive comment. It was a personal attack. You owe Ralph an apology. If you want to make a negative comment about the Triplanar, just do it. | |
| Turntable purchase advice sought I agree with what boothroyd says. In fact, Technics pulled more performance out of the SL1200 when they introduced the G series. But as far as I know, the least expensive G series TT costs about $1700 retail. So there is a gap in cost that migh... | |
| Turntable purchase advice sought Asking price for the modified 1200 Mk2? And specifically what mods were done? Keep in mind that the older SL1200 series is quite different from the modern 1200G series, even though Technics made the bad decision to have them look nearly exactly ... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions Aside from several after market plinths custom built to accommodate any of several different vintage turntables and optional arm wands offered by Reed, I don’t know of any company using P’holz in their commercial audio products. That’s perhaps unf... | |
| Project Debut Carbon EVO vs. Technics SL-1500C vs Technics SL-1210GR Crutchfield is a seller. You’ll be fine with any of the 3. You asked which is best, and I offered only an opinion. | |
| High-end-turntables Only PayPal or CC affords any protection for the buyer. But Wise is a supposedly legitimate company that I almost used to change USD into Yen for our son who lives in Tokyo. They act as middleman by doing the currency conversion at a favorable rat... | |
| Project Debut Carbon EVO vs. Technics SL-1500C vs Technics SL-1210GR Yes, there are big differences and the SL1200GR is by far the best choice, in my opinion. | |
| Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables So now we know that Mijostyn is wrong on lateral trackers and on climate. At least consider my argument for higher effective mass in the horizontal plane vs in the vertical plane. Low bass frequencies require horizontal motion of the stylus tip, w... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions Panzerholz is excellent for sure, but it is also very dense. Thus I see panzerholz as a kind of mass damping, in the same category as any other materials used to the same end. Albeit panzerholz may be the best or one of the best choices. PH for a ... | |
| High-end-turntables Another rule: when a business requires you to pay by wire for goods, that’s very likely a scam. Sorry for your lost $$$. | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions Not only what Tablejockey says but also the motor of any TT is usually its most reliable component and is the last thing I would worry about if purchasing an expensive well made new TT. Proper lubrication is all you need worry about, every few ye... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Just to throw another name brand into the mix, Reed tonearms are very good. Schroeder tonearms are also superb but have a reputation for long wait periods if you order a new one. I have no basis to claim that any tonearm is "superior" to the SME V... | |
| End Game Turntable suggestions Technics SP10 mk3 will usually cost a great deal more than a mk2 and is more difficult to find. If cost is an object, certainly the mk2 is fine. In my own experience the Denon DP80 is a bit better than the mk2 in stock form. I found the OEM mk2 in... | |
