| Pivot to Spindle distance fsonicsmith, I admit to being overly inquisitive at times, in my search for clarity, but on this thread, all I asked for was the OP to explain the very vague term he used to indicate he was satisfied with his alignment despite the known 5mm error ... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Good try, Chak. But it's hopeless. Could it be that "Markusthenaimnut", "Shooflyshoo", and "heyitsmedusty" are one and the same person? No offense intended to those 3, as they are more likely to be separate individuals who did not read the OP. | |
| EL 34 tubes I think there is an amplifier or tube-related Forum where you might get a response from persons more obsessed with amplifier tubes. EL34s are power output tubes, not used in phono circuits. And, as you can see, it will be a matter of opinion. | |
| Pivot to Spindle distance Mark, You wrote, "My P2S distance is off by about 5 mm (over). But my cartridge seams to be aligned pretty good." Define "pretty good". Thanks. | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. twoleftears, Love your coat of arms. | |
| Help - Phono stages dying!! Based on the very limited information, I have the impression that the failure is occurring somewhere at the phono stage input, if for no other reason than the fact that the OP needs to play a record in order for something to blow. Because apparen... | |
| Wally Wally Wally Benjie, You wrote, "I read your post above and I disagree with you, most people here do not agree with my sentiments."I quoted you in order to avoid the tricky double negative in your sentence. For the record, I certainly do agree with the merit ... | |
| Help - Phono stages dying!! Shorting the grid of a tube or the gate of a transistor to ground would eventually blow the device. Could be anywhere from cartridge itself to phono input. Because this problem has recurred with three different phono stages, that tends to make me ... | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup The rationale for using only three footers under any single piece of gear is that three points define a plane. Whereas when you add a fourth point you don’t necessarily have a plane. Hence the device can rock back-and-forth on any two of its 4 poi... | |
| Help - Phono stages dying!! I am forgetting the fine details of your story. Is this problem occurring always with the same cartridge and the same wiring from cartridge to phono input? If so, I am wondering whether you are experiencing an intermittent short between the hot an... | |
| Vinyl headache from hell!!! Don’t leave us hanging. Did you hear the same static on the same LPs at your friend’s house, as you were experiencing on your own system? | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup I agree with whoever said that banging on the plinth or the shelf as a test for isolation is beside the point, at best. | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup I think minus K, vibraplane, and Herzan are kissing cousins, business-wise. If you don’t mind an ugly industrial look, herzan platforms with appropriate load capacity can sometimes be found on eBay. For much fewer $$$. | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup MC, Nodes for vibration should not move around. However, the number of them might go up or down depending upon frequency. | |
| Having trouble reducing the vibrations on my turntable setup DO Nuclear subs and CAT machines use SRA isolation devices? I’ve been around a lot of electron microscopes, and they don’t. |
