| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? What they’re trying to tell you is you don’t need the bleeding box at all. The 5-pin plug that you shove into the base of your tonearm is called a DIN plug. You can buy a single pair of cables with a DIN plug at one end, terminating both channels.... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? When does a turntable, tonearm, or cartridge cross the time line between "modern" and "vintage"? Mijostyn’s beloved Cosmos turntable is basically the same as a Star Sapphire sold by SOTA in the late 1980s, and by his own admission, SOTA copied the... | |
| Please Help T3F problems Seems like one of those guys on the Lenco thread(s) actually fixes Rabco tonearms for other owners. That's where I would start, if you don't get any DIY hints from other reading. | |
| Please Help T3F problems I googled "Rabco tonearm owners group" and found this group on Lenco Heaven: https://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=18696.0 Those Lenco guys are very helpful. There are more such sites, if you care to google the topic I put in quotat... | |
| Please Help T3F problems I gather you sourced the information referenced by Raul in his post above, which takes you to Soundfountain, and Soundfountain provides some valuable info on the mechanism, and a diagram of the works, if you follow the path on Sf. The results you ... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages boothroyd, The Phono Loco by Sutherland is balanced. The BMC MMCI is another balanced "transimpedance" phono stage. There is no reason a current-driven stage cannot operate in balanced mode; it just has to have been built to do so with essential... | |
| Koetsu Urushi stylus shape I bought my Urushi in Tokyo. I still have the dealer warranty card, and I am sure that I could submit it to Koetsu for rebuild under the auspices of the Tokyo dealer, which would probably be less expensive than going through the US distributor, w... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages Most higher end tonearm makers will offer their tonearms with "captive" cables as an option, so you have one wire from cartridge pin to phono input. For sure, this is true for Reed and Triplanar; I own one of each, both with captive cables. Cleara... | |
| Koetsu Urushi stylus shape Dear Raul, In accordance with your earlier suggestion, I have contacted vdH about doing the re-tip. Thus far, despite two further inquiries, I have had no response. Which is why I am here asking this question. I have no doubt that the Replicant... | |
| This maybe analog/cables; I am looking for a phone cable cable recommendation There are hundreds of “good” sounding cables. One suggestion is to consider AntiCables. They make excellent sounding speaker cables and ICs, for those on a budget, and their high end stuff competes with the best. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? All one can say when Mijostyn pontificates on one of his gospel truths is “l disagree” and then say why. My highly tweaked Lenco does not produce audible rumble of any kind. But I can’t say why. Mijo has to open up his mind and listen to a well re... | |
| Anyone out there own a Clearaudio Double Matrix Pro Sonic? The cleaning solution recipe that I use calls for 25% solution of isopropanol, not ethanol. As you know, ethanol is an alcohol with two methyl groups; isopropanol or propanol has three methyl groups ahead of the alcohol group. The capability of th... | |
| Anyone out there own a Clearaudio Double Matrix Pro Sonic? I've had my HW17 for at least 20 years with not a hiccup. Bought extra wands and brushes for it years ago, but nothing is really worn out. A lot of folks make an issue of noise. That means nothing to me, because I keep mine in my basement works... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? And yet the TD124, when compared to even the top level of pedestrian idler drives, like the Garrard 301 and the Lenco L75, comes in third in terms of sonics. to my ears in my system. Moreover, I have liked many other belt-drive and DD turntables ... |
