| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again We’ve been over this ground before. I convinced you that I am more invested in “vintage” than you are. I never said you shouldn’t own or like your Mc tuner/preamplifier. But a 40-50 year old piece of tube gear is likely to benefit from some new or... | |
| Dual 721 turntable - opinions/advice? Define “muted”. | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again If it’s 50 years old and REALLY never been serviced, it’s broke in some way, you can be sure. At the very least it will need an alignment. Chances are it has been serviced at some point, or you would not love it so much.Wait! Did you say your Russ... | |
| Is LP distortion the record or the cartridge? You wrote, "On dynamic peaks, even at fairly low volume, the sound breaks up and produces distortion." On equipment that is at the level of your ensemble, those distortions should not be a bother, and they are not inherent to the vinyl medium. I... | |
| Off to see the Wizard...the wonderful Wizard of Oz Kudos to you for admitting your shady past, bruh. | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? As I mentioned somewhere above, JP Jones did a head to head comparison of the speed stability of his newly acquired SP10R compared to his own SP10 Mk3, no doubt being run by his module that replaces the MN6042 chip. The curves were virtually supe... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Dover, Good to know you have actually had hands on experience with an SP10 Mk3. And yes, of course I realize that computer technology is now way ahead of anything available in 1980-ish. You guessed correctly; I probably didn't even own a computer... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Dover, Stop. Why don't you and Richard just have a duel at sunrise. Water pistols to be the preferred weapon of choice. As soon as his name is mentioned, out come your familiar attacks. New Zealand is a beautiful and wide open country, and I a... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? best-groove, "Frusciant"? I gotta look that up. Actually, I did look it up, and I didn't find it in any on-line dictionary. | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Ditto to what Atma-sphere wrote. Chakster, the Krebs mod is to stabilize the stators. As you know, in a DD, the platter is generally the rotor of the motor or is affixed firmly to the rotor assembly. In the case of the Mk3, a gigantic ring-shape... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? When you say hard to beat at the $7500 price point, do you refer to your idea of its value AFTER you do the upgrades, or what? Because first of all, it's probably worth more than that just as is, in terms of market value. | |
| Bone Records LPs Every pirated LP that I ever heard sounded worse than "junk", unlistenable. Direct to trash. | |
| PCTI tonearm by rauliruegas Don’t cry for me, Argentina. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Far be it from me to knock the Herron phono stage. My earlier remarks ca 2019 were made in jest at the outset of this longlived thread. I am sure the Herron is superb. But two guys who own the Herron and also own or have owned two other very fin... | |
| Cartridge without serial? Chak, in one paragraph you contradicted yourself. You wrote that your ZYX aiRY III cartridge lacked a serial number, and then you also wrote that it had a fake serial number. You can’t have that both ways. Which is true? And this is the umpteenth ... |
