| I'm new to Step Up Transformers There are many fine quality tube based phono stages that offer sufficient gain for a LOMC cartridge and do not contain a step up transformer internally. Many of those use a solid state or hybrid gain stage in order to achieve that goal (Manley, pr... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Still a chance to settle down with a Technics 1200G, GAE, G2, or whatever you can find with a G in it, first or second hand. | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? Are you asking whether “vinyl” is having “fun” with us? | |
| Final Analog Upgrades In selecting a phono stage, be aware that the SL has an internal resistance of 30 ohms and is therefore not well suited to any current driven (“trans impedance”) phono. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers The he question is at what point do you replace the DC? After your listening session or during play? | |
| Linn LP12 turntable I think their label is “Linn Selekt”. I’ve got at least two of their LPs, and they’re sonically spectacular, but I don’t see how this bears on the OP’s quandary. | |
| Final Analog Upgrades You wouldn’t include Allnic, Atmasphere, Manley, Modwright, Luxman, Quicksilver, etc? | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? Puptent, folks are naturally curious about what LP could be valued at $1200. I don’t see where anyone was “carping” about anything. The OP doesn’t want to say, and that’s that. The mystery naturally stimulates some guesswork. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Let’s see. With what “higher frequency” did you bang on your AR? Most likely the frequency was 1Hz. A footfall is also 1Hz. So why shouldn’t the same suspension that filters out one one also filter out the other? What’s with F=ma? It’s true and al... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Tomic , I was merely responding to posts by LP12 owners who mentioned it is susceptible to foot falls. To my way of thinking, that should be the last problem one might expect with a suspended TT. Which is why I asked. I am not the one claiming tha... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable Back in their day, I too saw the advert claiming you could whack the plinth of the ARXA with a hammer without disturbing the sound from an LP in play. Which is in part why I posed my question about the LP12 suspension. SOTA use an inverted symmetr... | |
| Linn LP12 turntable I am not an LP12 basher, but what does the spring suspension do, if the table is still sensitive to footfalls? I mean, why bother with the elaborate setup? | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge +1 for Nagaoka. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Elliot is such a nice guy that he worries about my and your tonearms as much as he worries about his own. Elliot, stop screaming and come back into the room. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers If you put together the paragraph that RB quoted from Antinn’s tome with the information that at least some significant fraction of dust is dead skin cells, you might surmise that although dust contains dead skin cells, they are not prone to lodgi... |
