| recommended oil for well tempered spindle cup 33 or 45 rpm is not much of a stress on any bearing using any oil. The Mobil One recommendation is good as any. | |
| Please Help T3F problems Have you been helped by the internet resources I mentioned? | |
| New Audio Technica From specs alone, the ART 20 seems to be a super version of ART9, not more, not less. | |
| recommended oil for well tempered spindle cup What source could be better than “Mr Firebaugh”? But I use single weight, synthetic, nondetergent motor oil for all my TTs. I have never owned a WT TT. | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Timel, I actually have a Grado TLZ that I used as my one and only cartridge for several years back in the 80s. I still have its factory packaging which includes that triangular, dimpled piece of plastic for separating cartridge from headshell. I r... | |
| New Audio Technica On VA, the price was quoted as ~$2500. I can't see the ad you quoted, in English, only shows up in Japanese, but the price is 330,000yen, which today converts to $2718US. It doesn't have its coils on the stylus end of the cantilever, so the relat... | |
| Phono 1:1 Input Transformers - info sought... You’re correct about cartridges but most have cartridges wired single ended at the phono stage. I puzzled over this myself. In certain circuits there can be DC offset at the input stage. Resulting DC current across the coils of an LOMC cartridge c... | |
| Please Help T3F problems I certainly agree with Dover that you are better off with the ET tonearm, but that involves a larger cash expenditure. On the other hand, you might justify it by thinking that the T3F will likely be problematic in the long term, even if you fix it... | |
| Phono 1:1 Input Transformers - info sought... The 1:1 input transformers might also be used to invert phase at the input of the phono stage. (I notice that the ad copy mentions phase inversion as a feature.) Actually, by using the transformer input, you can do both: convert an SE input to bal... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? SAEC, the company known for tonearms, has been out of the business during most of the most modern era of obsessive copper wire-naming and the wild claims associated with that practice. | |
| Phono 1:1 Input Transformers - info sought... Most likely they are using input transformers to create a balanced input from what is internally a single ended circuit. | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Had I seen that ebay ad, and I did do a search on "Acutex" but it strangely did not come up, I would have purchased that unit rather than sending my damaged one to SS, as I just did today. I had a worn out LPM315. So I stuck that assembly on the ... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Holm-zie baby, Your options have been stated over and over again. They range from (1) changing the wire between the DIN plug and the box, which was your original question to (2) changing the wires and then experimenting with different ICs to find... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Pani, Which version of "Nantais Lenco" do you own? I used to own one, too, and I used to follow Jean's meanderings on various websites. He was or is constantly upgrading his ideas on how to improve the base table, so his work has a temporal qual... | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Hi Timeltel, Nice to hear from you. In all prior experience with the LPM320STRIII, I had it mounted in its headshell adaptor/coil housing, rather than in the Saturn V, but in a lightweight headshell, probably carbon fiber type. In a fit of stupi... |
