| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Typo. Sorry | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? best-groove, I did include Denon DP100M. I left off the Nakamichi turntables, because many say that apart from the brilliant LP centering device, they are not such great performers, but I would put ONE on the list of the very best, if you like. ... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? What is the evidence that Micro-Seiki built the Onkyo, Yamaha, Kyocera, and "some" Luxman DD turntables? I don’t doubt it, but I am wondering about the source of the information. Does Vintage Knob, for example, endorse the idea? While we are at it... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? That Onkyo has a coreless motor with no “cocking”, according to the brochure. That’s a comfort. Beautiful machine. Resembles the Brinkmann DDs in appearance. Brinkmann also use a coreless motor. | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration Wolf, as you probably know better than I, if you actually play guitar, guitar amps are distortion generating machines. The distortion is intentional. This is one reason why overstressed tubes are preferred by the cognoscenti in guitar amplificatio... | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration Use, 6SL7 is even more microphonic than 6SN7. But not as irreplaceable if ultimate sonics are the goal. Gain notwithstanding. | |
| Measuring VTF with electronic gauge.... Bollocks. | |
| Measuring VTF with electronic gauge.... I’d bet money that the Rega SFG is a re-branded Chinese product or that it is made in China for Rega. | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration The old MFA luminescence preamplifier was one of the best sounding single-ended preamplifiers ever designed, and it used 6SN7, 6EM7,and 6SL7 tubes, all of which are octal-based triodes with large glass envelopes. I owned a luminescence that would ... | |
| Naim introduce a turntable - the Solstice Special Edition The URL you provide, for all its verbiage, doesn’t bother to mention whether the new TT is a belt- drive or direct-drive. Since it’s really a Clearaudio, I’ll assume belt. | |
| How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration Mijostyn, if everything boiled down to your personal experience, the world would be a simpler place to live, for sure. Tubes ARE microphonic, regardless of my or Ralph’s opinion. FYI, you may pay extra for quiet tubes from certain vendors, but wha... | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp noromance, I assure you that my understanding of the process of electronic amplification is as complete or incomplete as yours. We just chose different words to describe the process. Nor did I say (or think) that the signal is "ushered" anywhere. ... | |
| JVC TT 71: buy now for spare for my or TT81? Elliot, I am not sure what you meant, but if your interest in a TT71 is based on its fitting your TT81 plinth, I do believe a TT101 would also fit a plinth made for TT81. Of course, the factory plinth for TT101 (to be found included with a TT101,... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? JP, Perhaps you don't recall, but my own TT101 that you diagnosed and repaired does have selectable power transformer primary taps, and one of the choices is 120V. I think the other choice is 100V. It was someone else's opinion that units with s... | |
| Upper Level Vintage DD Strenghts and Weaknesses The Acutex 300 series are IM, as you say, but where does the “piezo” come in? Acutex 400 series are conventional MM. The Azden line was discussed in Raul’s original MM thread, but I don’t recall too much about them. |
