| 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.

| 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 ... |
