| Another review of a tweaked Denon DL-103R ??? Oh no! Boring? Surely not! Please read it! The cartridge being touted here has a Micro Ridge stylus shape. | |
| Technics SL-1210GAE Anniversary delivery . Chak, My research tells me that there is certainly commercial shipping between Japan and the USA, both by air and sea. That said, I could certainly imagine that there are delays due to COVID-19. But I don’t imagine there is complete interruption. ... | |
| Frequency response off with test record I think you have a point: If you are going thru the phono section, then RIAA correction should have been performed on the signal from the LP. So, next question: Does the test LP claim to be useful for your purpose? It would be tricky to create s... | |
| Linn LP 12 hum not coming from Bryton phono stage. The siren rising in intensity is or was evidence of positive feedback, somewhere. Good that you put a stop to it as you might damage your amp and or speakers. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I suspect you all are correct about the fact that the suspension of a vintage cartridge will have aged, inevitably. But does that really matter, when one is getting pleasure from the sound emanating from that cartridge? Why waste time perseveratin... | |
| Wall mounting on studs It’s not such a terrible idea not to play them. In many cases the musicians and the music are both second rate. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dave, I noticed that you now have an L07D. Given your capabilities and your propensity for modification, have you considered changing the tone arm wires in your LO7D? I can’t prove it, but I think they are a kludge compared to the rest of the turn... | |
| Springs under turntable Platter and top surface of plinth should both be level, or both should be on the same plane even if not perfectly level. Otherwise, you might have an issue with the tonearm mount not being on the same parallel plane with the platter, which would m... | |
| A question of bias for new tube set How do you know the original tube with the low bias current was actually defective or aged really? Did you check the bias voltage on the grid of that tube? It could be a problem upstream, affecting grid voltage. In which case a new tube inserted i... | |
| Springs under turntable But of course. | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? Tomic not tonic. | |
| Frequency response off with test record Nothing to do with loading which affects treble region. Also given your vague description you might be looking at a benign bass rolloff. At what exact frequency? Is your scope calibrated? Are you accounting for the RIAA effect on frequencies below... | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? Tonic, no. Sometimes fanaticism yields to convenience. However, if I ever owned a SUT, I would be sure it utilized flying leads between SUT and phono stage. | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? It all boils down to my motto: the best connector is no connector. No matter how expensive a connector might be, no matter how elegant it may appear, and no matter what precious metal it is made of, you are better off getting rid of it. | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? I watched Herb Papier install the wire in myTriplanar. It’s a continuous run from cartridge to plugs. |
