| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Mats come and go, and it’s common for the best of them not to be recognized as such until they are no longer being produced, whereupon they become”rare” and the expensive. We audiophiles are a crazy bunch. | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms Syntax is no babe in the woods. He does not need cautionary advice. If he wants to get his FR tonearm serviced, he has a good reason. | |
| If a blind guy can use a Rega Planar 3 ... Buy P8, not "but P8". Sorry. | |
| If a blind guy can use a Rega Planar 3 ... But P8. Ditch the cover. By all accounts, the P8 is that much better than the P3. Tweaks are unlikely to make up for the basic differences that make the P8 the better option. Anyway, if you believe what MC is selling, you can always add his twea... | |
| Silver Head Shell Leads Really? Gold is thought of as very inert, which is why it is a favored outer coating, does not oxidize. Anyway, Aluminum reacts with many other metals. Silver not nearly so much, but it does oxidizes. The good news is silver oxide is nearly as... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Mijo, I now understand what you mean by a plinth “cover” wrt the SOTA turntables, but the term is unnecessarily confusing. It’s inherently part of the plinth. Yes, the armboard is part of the sprung substructure so it rides a bit lower than the st... | |
| Silver Head Shell Leads Well, you got your answer. There is no answer.But the Walker stuff does dry out. Does NOT glue the connection together. Works well. Otherwise use Pro Gold. Get rid of connectors in the signal path. Suffice to say I don’t agree w Pindac on wire. | |

| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms Syntax is in Germany or Austria. Someone here sent his FR64S to Japan, I think. Also, doesn't Frank Schroeder work on them, if one has the patience? | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp jay73, I did expand upon speakermaster's cryptic comment about impedance. See my post at 1:15 PM today, 05-08. If you have further questions, I will be happy to respond. | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 with 40 pound copper platter. And I keep reversing the alphanumeric designation. Toyota made a sports car in the 60s that they called the "2000GT". It's now very valuable to collectors. The Yamaha tt is "GT2000" or GT2000X. Sorry for any confusion. | |
| Ground Wire What fiesta just wrote.If you're using a fancy power block of some kind, it is at least remotely possible that in the power block, each plug or set of plugs is isolated from all the others. If the block is poorly designed, I can at least imagine ... | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp I’d like to know more about the Crown amplifier, because it has been decades since I have heard or read about any new products under the Crown imprimatur. For example, are they class D amplifiers? Some people just categorically dislike class D amp... |
