| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above “Steadier pitch”, if and only if the basic speed constancy of the SOTA is as good as that of the 1200G, which isn’t likely. Also, does $10,000 pay for either one of the recommended tonearms plus a SOTA Nova w vacuum? | |
| TT rumble versus "oscillation": what's the difference? TT rumble can cause subsonic woofer oscillation which is what you’re observing. | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Huh? | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Communism was a failure, and now capitalism has run amok. If this makes you angry, then spend some time and energy in the political arena to promote a more level playing field. Megabuck turntables are only a byproduct of societal problems and not ... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation I could be wrong, but I think SOS is an original stereo pressing. Hence the advisory note that you quote. It’s divine regardless. | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 Thanks, Richard.Mijo, people like you put Tower Records out of business. That was a joke, but my point is that one cannot act as you suggest these days in the USA due to the dearth of brick and mortar LP stores. The ones we do have are primarily s... | |
| SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best? JCarr, thank you for the erudite post. For most of us, the needed gain is easily estimated, and the internal impedance of the cartridge is available from the maker, but I know of no instance where the primary inductance of the SUT is accessible to... | |
| The value of embellishment? Tough crowd! | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 Also, to the argument about servo devices and their effect on sound quality, most upper end belt drive turntables these days employ some sort of mechanism that senses platter speed and feeds back to the motor for speed correction. Why is this harm... | |
| 3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢 Noromance, but “best speed stability, etc” and “accurate reproduction of the master” are two very different criteria. One is scientifically measurable and the other is inescapably a subjective judgement. However to reach the latter goal wouldn’t y... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear Actually, Mijo, the Krebs might be as good as or better than any turntable in the world regardless of price. The only reasonable objections are to the looks, for some, or to the price asked. So don’t buy one. | |
| Question on Denon DL-103 retipping options and preferences I have a 103D with no cantilever. I bought it new many decades ago and probably it got de-cantilevered in storage. If I can find it, I’ll send it to anyone who wants it for the cost of shipping.The 103 and its variants are a sort of religion among... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? Back in “the day”, head amps were perhaps more common than SUTs for augmenting phono gain to levels required for LOMC cartridges. One of the best was the Counterpoint SA2, which was all tube. I owned one for a while. It was a bit noisy but mine co... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance "You believe", is fine. There really is no "correct" approach, since to begin with there is a built in error that will affect any solution. Can you further explain what you have in mind as regards the effect of increasing overhang, to shift the ... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance Mijostyn, good point but it seems to me we’re both right. Moving backward would preserve overhang at the expense of reducing effective length. Moving forward in the headshell would preserve effective length but increase overhang. Both work if you ... |
