| Tonearm for Technics SP-15 Just to be clear, by "fat" I meant to suggest that it is wide in diameter at the base which requires a much larger than average hole in the tonearm mount board. Also, my personal bias would be to hard wire the IC to the base, thereby eliminating ... | |
| Eminent Technology tonearm ET--2 There is a lot of info on the ET2 in these archives and a few aficionados as well. Do a search. Far as I can recall, all of the issues you mention may pertain. | |
| Tonearm for Technics SP-15 I own a B500 with the EPA250 arm wand and a 501H. Unfortunately the base is so "fat" that it really will not fit any of my turntables except my TT101. But I have an FR64S mounted on the TT101 specifically for low compliance LOMCs. I'd have to ma... | |
| Dustcover Blues Mike, You sure get up early in the morning. More important or at least as important in conceiving a supplementary woofer or subwoofer is the cabinet design. The choice of cabinet type would affect the choice of woofer, I would think. So what are... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question And why revive an 8 year old thread to take a poke at 2juki? I don't see where he was even mentioned upstream. | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. At 5Hz, any cartridge/tonearm will be at or below its resonant frequency, at which the frequency itself would produce an apparent peak in response. Furthermore, can one encode a frequency of 5Hz on a record? I have to wonder how one could measur... | |
| Mcintosh MA9000 Phono Stage In days of yore, there were some really fabulous full function preamplifiers, both tube and solid state. Seems that type may be coming back into vogue, but you could also go vintage, which in this case means going back to the 1990s, so still "mode... | |
| Cost of Turntable vs. cost of Phono Stage Get the best possible turntable, tonearm, and cartridge. Then get the best possible phono stage. Or you can do it in reverse order; it doesn't matter. How you define "best" is a personal and financial issue. Ignore the cost relationship between... | |
| Mcintosh MA9000 Phono Stage There is no benefit per se to having an outboard phono stage. What I mean is that the phono section in your Mac should be judged for what it is, not for whether it is outboard or onboard. I have no idea of the performance of the phono section of y... | |
| Brinkmann Edison MKII Phono Amp Evidently the Hebrew word for vacuum tube is the same as the word for "lamp" in English. I like it. | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. What interests me most is that we most of us think our systems sound great, and yet our systems are so different from one another and were assembled based sometimes on very different, even conflicting beliefs. And yet each of us who feels that he ... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... Just for the record, in more ways than one, I don't think the Pioneer PLX1000 should be classified as "vintage". It's a recent model apparently aimed at undercutting the cost factor of the Technics G series turntables, in that it is cheaper than ... | |
| Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end. I am not sure you have asked a "good" question, but my Stanton 981LZS has particularly excellent bass clarity and downward extension. Really, low bass in the room will depend upon many many other factors, besides the cartridge and TT, not the lea... | |
| Dustcover Blues Mijo, I took a look at your system page. You do have a beautiful and comfortable looking listening room, and you are obviously a highly skilled woodworker. It's always good when one hobby supports the other. Seeing where your TT is located, on a... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... I am getting all verklempt to see the nice photo of a Transcriptors Reference. Back in the day, they were irresistible, and I did own one for a while. No matter whether it was a good turntable or not, no one can say it was not great fun to watch. ... |
