| Musical Fidelity Phono preamp loading I hope you are correct, Chak. That was my thought as well. It would seem that with no plug installed, there is no load resistance. In other words, there is no permanently installed load resistor at all between the gate and ground of the input t... | |
| VPI Classic setup tools I have read elsewhere that the VPI alignment tools made for their own tonearms are error prone. This is not first hand information coming from me. Check threads on Vinyl Asylum.I don't like the Turntable Basics protractor (sadly, I own two of the... | |
| Another review of a tweaked Denon DL-103R ??? Oh no! Boring? Surely not! Please read it! After the fact, I realized your post could be taken to be a comment on the Zu version. Sorry. | |
| Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?) A DIN connection from the base of the tonearm is no obstacle to a balanced input at the phono stage. | |
| Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?) Since the output from the cartridge can be treated as balanced, why not just put XLR connectors on the ends of your phono cables? (You do need to use cables that provide two wires for the audio signal and a third wire for ground or if no third wi... | |
| Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?) I bought the MA240s in "kit" form from Ralph back in the late 90s. My pair were among the last ones he made, and I wanted to assemble the circuit such that each 6C33C could be separately biased, which required 3 separate driver tubes, one for eac... | |
| Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?) Since I have owned and used an atma-sphere MP1 for more than 20 years, with upgrades along the way, of course I also endorse that unit as being superb. But I thought the OP wanted at least two and maybe three phono sections on one chassis. This th... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery . In recent years, I’ve mostly received car parts, in large or small pkgs, shipped to my front door. Since they mostly come to me from the UK, the shipper is DHL. I neither love nor hate them. If I want something for my audio systems I tend to wait ... | |
| Springs under turntable mahgister, You may hear what you say you hear, but the phrase "damp the internal resonance" as a mechanism for what you hear is unclear. In other words, as is so often the case in this hobby, we have a phenomenon on one hand and a hypothesis on t... | |
| Springs under turntable uber, If your cat is big enough to nudge a 75 lb weight, I am more afraid of IT than I am of the weight falling on anything. I don't know if I want to get into it, but I don't see the added benefit of putting springs under a weight to be placed o... | |

| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery . I think Russia is a special case, and perhaps one should not generalize based on shipping to and from Russia. For what it's worth, I have experienced no serious delays receiving small packages of capacitors and the like from Russia or Ukraine, pu... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery . Oh please! If there was a viable market in the US for hi-fi, there’d be distributors eager to import the products from japan. There isn’t a big market, so there aren’t distributors. We don’t even have brick and mortar audio stores any more. If yo... | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery . Luis, see my hypothesis above. | |
| By popular demand. Any of you guys ought to hear the three- pairs- of —quad -57 system that is owned by a local friend. Dave Slagle of EMIA built the amplifiers that drive each speaker via a single interfacing transformer per speaker. So, he eliminated the quad audi... |
