| Anyone familiar with Ikeda 9 series (cantileverless kind) MC cartridges? Hi Nandric! Good to hear from you. | |
| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R But the OP indicated he wants to be able to accommodate 16” records. I am well aware of the lengths of the tonearms you suggested and of the restrictions presented by the SP10R, but those are lesser issues if you want to play 16” records. For that... | |
| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R What I don’t get is why Chak thinks that something about what I wrote is funny enough to have him laughing out loud. Otherwise, no comment. | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? There is often discussion of the relationships among the various Victor TT series turntables, the 101, 81, and 71. The page in Vintage Knob cited by Chakster if you click on the blue Victor in his post, clarifies the differences nicely."The TT-81... | |
| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R Small point: Aren't the Technics EPA tonearms and the FR64S or fx and the Lustre all a bit too short for the OP's needs, like to play 16" records? | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition My bad for not understanding what you meant by the term slip Q. If you had written it out C U E, I might have gotten the point. I thought you were referring to the fact that some early idler drive turntables, like the grease bearing Garrard 301, a... | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition The belt is very small in diameter and traverses two pulleys of roughly equal or similar diameter, in contrast to the belt on any true belt drive turntable. So the issues might be different. But I have no business discussing a TD124. Never had ... | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition Fsonic, sorry if you were offended. Actually, I do not own a Garrard 301, and I have no dog in the fight about the weight of a platter on a 301. My only point was the point I was trying to make. That this is a subjective judgment, unless you have ... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? best-groove, To further complicate the history, if you want to nail down the inter-relationships, the coreless motors used in the Kenwood L07D and the Victor TT101, to name only two, owe a great deal to the original Dual coreless motor used in Dua... | |
| Ortofon Century Turntable…Any thoughts or experiences? Or, just buy a 1200G for less $$$, and be done with it, at least until you get another buyer’s itch. | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Mike has long been one of the best most responsible distributors, of any audio product, in the US. He helped me out several times well above the call of duty with parts for my tonearms. | |
| Question about tubes Yeah but matched means different things to different people, and people who sell on eBay are apt to have a looser definition of the term. On the other hand I agree with you that 300 bucks for 4 is probably a price that can be beaten. Even if from ... | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition fsonic, Your little experiment with a single idler-drive turntable and platters of different mass does not "prove" that high mass per se is the cause of a "plodding" sound, whatever that means to the author. It only means that you prefer the ligh... | |
| Question about tubes What tom says. Since the unit specifies four 6922s, the only issue is brand and testing prior to purchase. Buy from any reputable vendor, like Jim McShane or Kevin Deal, and you'll be fine. Don't make the question harder than it is, | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Biker, did you mean “a tinkerers nightmare “, in reference to LP12?From a 1200GR I’d consider an SP10R.Bur also you’re quite wrong to think the vintage examples are all the same. They vary quite a bit in terms of motors, servo mechanism, platter m... |
