| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia Artemis, Japanese motorcycles (Honda and Kawasaki) made a mark for high quality and speed in the US by the early to mid 60s, which predated the influx of Datsuns and Toyotas that came in the late 60s/early 70s. By then”made in japan “ was no longe... | |
| All record weights the same ? Chak, are you sure it’s good advice to say categorically that 900g, about two pounds, is ok for any DD turntable? Especially when MS made it for their belt driven high end tables? I agree with Raul that a screw on or clamp type is to be preferred ... | |
| plinth for tts8000 Back when I undertook to make a slate plinth, it was originally for my Lenco, only. This must have been at least 15 years ago, and there was a "thing" going on about slate plinths, over on Lenco Lovers, or whatever the website is called. OMA made... | |
| plinth for tts8000 best-groove, Perhaps the WT turntable sounds good in your system. I have a history of finding fault with the WT tonearm. I won't reiterate here.Artemus, You wrote, "However After doing a lot of testing with various footer materials, there are ma... | |
| plinth for tts8000 I actually made, or had made for me, slate-based plinths for the DP80, the Lenco idler, and the SP10 Mk3. Before that, I also made a slate plinth for an SP10 Mk2, now sold along with the Mk2. These projects were done one by one, not all at the s... | |
| I have a serious phobia problem with cleaning records Believe it or not, I totally agree with MC. If the OP is serious, he should seek help. If he is joking, OK it’s not that bad a joke. Personally, I am very relaxed about whether I clean an LP or not. I own a VPIHW 17, but I use it infrequently.On t... | |
| Help me understand compliance! The matching of cartridge compliance to tonearm effective mass is quite "plastic", in that there is a lot of room to make them match, if you use the standard goal of achieving a resonant frequency of 8 to 12Hz. Plus, in the modern era, we are inu... | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia I am surprised no one else has remarked about it, but there was a time when "Made in Japan" was a common joke and a slur on the product, here in the US, probably for about 10-15 years following the end of WW2, when Japan was trying to get back on ... | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? That’s what she said, Russ. | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable Thanks, D. I have a DV501 (given to me by a dear departed friend) and two DV505s. Only one DV, one of the DV505s, is in constant use on my much tweaked Lenco. I prefer it to the 501 because of easier VTA adjustment, although I do know that many f... | |
| Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable Dover, Those side weights are a feature I mentioned once before in reference to tonearms that have a high effective mass in the horizontal plane. As I am sure you know, that is the raison d'etre for the side weights, in the case of the DP8. The ... | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia Audio files = audiophiles, of course.I hate autocorrect. | |
| Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia I wonder how this new policy will play out in Japan itself, where there are more audio files per capita than maybe anywhere in the world that I have ever been. They still have stores that are reminiscent of New York City in the 1970s.You can buy a... | |
| Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die? Erik, I will put my stuff on the front curb. Don’t disturb my wife.I thought it interesting that Luis used “you” in his question. As if he is immortal. | |
