| Torqueo - any info or updates? All I said in response to your post, is that the OP asked for info on one specific turntable.He did not ask for suggestions on what to buy. And yes I confess I am a little tired of reading that you suggest a SOTA turntable for everyone. On the ot... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? There are many companies that do a superb job resurrecting and improving upon the original Garrard 301 or the 401. This is also true of the Lenco idler. My personal bias is in favor of a tweaked Lenco over a Garrard, but what I like makes no dif... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? Separating the tonearm from the plinth has many issues. You can find a whole thread on this subject, if you search here using the word "Copernicus". I and everyone else who posted there said about all that one can say about arm pods, up and down,... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? Thanks, Chakster. Working on my cell, I didn’t see that page on their website. That pod does not inspire my confidence for many reasons. I do like the model where the arm is mounted on the plinth much better. And I did notice they are partial to I... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? Mijostyn,If you would stop selling Sota turntables on this website, maybe then you would be able to evaluate some other brand of turntable on its own merits. If you don’t like idler drives, and we know you don’t like unsuspended turntables, then o... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? The text on the website is not very informative, while on the other hand it says a lot. Only from the photos, it seems that this is an idler drive turntable, with the motor driving two idler wheels, one on either side of the motor shaft. each idle... | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. I just realized: logarithmic progression; 1,2,5. | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. Pretty tricky. Allnic is skipping 1203 and 1204 and going straight to 1205. Cool! | |
| At wits' end with radio through the speakers! The ferrite rings might help. Let us know. Short of moving to West Virginia, you might try enclosing your phono stage in a sort of faraday box. It’s impractical to do a true faraday box, but you might encase it in shielding as much as that is poss... | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? Antinn, I take your point about “wetting”, but my point was that it takes a fraction of a second to charge up an LP even after it might have been discharged by wetting, and sumadoggie might be inadvertently doing something conducive to charging AF... | |
| Curious about cartridges. I agree with Mijo; the first thing that crossed my mind when I read your OP is that the Miyajima might sound even better in a higher effective mass tonearm. Fortunately, it’s easy to increase the effective mass of the tonearm, whereas there is ver... | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. By now one can probably get a great deal on a used 1202, and Mr Park of Allnic may be dreaming of the inevitable 1203. | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? Because "brushing, washing, vacuuming, and brushing again" does not per se get rid of static charge. Those processes can just as well charge up an LP as discharge it, especially that last step.... "brushing". Cleaning and static charge dissipati... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. Typically, in a CDP, tubes are used as cathode followers at the output of the CDP. A cathode follower does not add any gain to the signal voltage and therefore is fairly neutral in its sonic signature. If done well, it can be completely neutral.... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. While I agree that "tube rolling" can make an audible improvement in SQ, I think of it as something one can do if one has no further understanding of electronics or skills on the workbench, the use of which can effect much bigger and more permanen... |
