| If you have ever owned a B&O turntable, was it any good? Or was it trash? Plus the turntable was a bit too beautiful looking and elegant for diehard audiophiles in its day. The TOTL B&O cartridges that were sold with the tt are certainly NOT lo-fi. I rank my MMC1 as fantastic among ~ 15-20 cartridges I own. It is no... | |
| Dual 701 pops fuse. Perhaps you realize that overall it is not wise to cure a problem with fuses blowing by inserting a much larger capacity fuse. So first you blew a 125 mA fuse and then you were able to blow a 500 mA fuse. I would stop right there. Perhaps so far y... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Are you absolutely certain that you have the right tube in the right socket? Because if you have misplaced the tubes in their sockets, all bets are off, and any symptoms could be explained by that, particularly the ones you mentioned. And no, the ... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree The all time great audio "brands" are either now non-existent or the brand names have been bought, and off-shore companys are selling their gear under a false flag, false in the sense that a Marantz is no kin to "Marantz" of historical importance.... | |
| Multiple amplifiers shutting down when playing vinyl through a tube phono stage Do you have the old tubes? Can you re-install them and see whether the phenomenon recurs? That would establish that you have one or more defective new tubes. What do you mean when you say some of the new tubes tested "weak"? Does your tester me... | |

| 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. |
