| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? “Flying saucer”?Did autocorrect do that?If what you are getting is a 100 V model, as most of them were, just be sure you use a step down transformer, before you apply AC. | |
| Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming Bill, in my opinion, you are way overthinking this. I would just go to a good hardware store and find a tiny O-ring of the proper size that does the job. Although I have never yet replaced the rubber donut in my own 7045, I have seen that most goo... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity dcarwin, As mentioned somewhere up the thread, Audioquest now make their well known carbon fiber record brush with a metal handle that is electrically continuous with the brush fibers. (Earlier versions did not establish contact between fibers an... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Mijo, You wrote, "With subwoofers you won't need the bass transformer." Since you did not hear my speakers without the bass transformer, how can you possibly know that? First of all, with the single full range transformer, the deficiency was at ... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity This is way off topic for the OP, and for that I apologize. When I removed the passive crossover components from the 845s, I replaced the OEM treble transformer, because that unit could not have handled full range input, and replaced it with a ma... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Acoustats are excellent. Just about the only brand of good ESL that I have not owned, but my dear friend here in Northern VA had them for many years, so I am quite familiar with them. Acoustat actually originated the idea of using two audio step... | |
| Hum with Ypsilon MC26L SUT that goes away with touching If hum does not go away when everything is grounded to everything, start removing ground wires, one by one. But it does seem your SUT wants to be grounded to something, and you are already grounding the tonearm to the SUT and the SUT to the phon... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Mijostyn, Antinn, and anyone else anal enough to be interested, here is the Shure Corporation website where they post pdf files on many questions that arise with respect to playing LPs:https://service.shure.com/Service/s/article/high-fidelity-phon... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 I think I said I’ve never owned a Rega and therefore don’t feel qualified to give advice. | |
| Mat for Rega P10 I am tempted to suggest no stickee, no Washi, but I won’t. | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Thanks, Antinn. I have been unable to find anything on the internet, up or down, that would incriminate or absolve the stylus, until this. | |
| Anti skate question for Rega P8/RB 880 arm Oy. | |
| Anti skate question for Rega P8/RB 880 arm I think of you as a fairly experienced guy, but I will take a shot at your question anyway. First, there is no one single "correct" setting for anti-skate, because the skating force is varying in magnitude, second by second, as the stylus travers... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Thanks, Raul. As you may recall, I once owned a Colibri, and it occurred to me that it and most other VDH LOMC cartridges I know about do or did not have particularly low internal resistance, which is what one would want if loading at 20 ohms. B... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Dear Mijo, You wrote above, "Lewm, it is very easy to measure with a high voltage probe. Building ESLs I just happen to have one. You are not arguing with me Lewm you are arguing with scientific facts of life. All you have to do is get up off y... |
