| Does the 33 hertz frequency turn vinyl into super vinyl "YES" +1 | |
| IMHO (and friend's) opinion of acrylic platter Vinyl spin, can you remove the OEM rubber mat and just plop the acrylic mat on the bare metal surface of the platter? If so , try that.With all respect, the 1019 is a fine vintage piece, but it was not meant for this sort of tweaking. It is simply... | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? What exactly have you purchased, and what exactly do you propose to do? it sounds like you have purchased a triplanar with a continuous cable from the cartridge pins all the way to the inputs of a phono stage. If that is the case, then no it would... | |
| Does the 33 hertz frequency turn vinyl into super vinyl "YES" Dannad, Sam is talking about the frequency of 33Hz, not the speed of a turntable. And yes, this thread is more ridiculous than talk of fuses and cable risers, by far. | |
| Springs under turntable “Butte”, a nice town in Montana. | |
| Goldring 1042 Anti Skate Too High on Dead Wax Mijo, On the Wally site it suggests not to use the anti-skate bands on certain test LPs. I don’t know whether that would include the one you recommend.I am also gratified to read the following paragraph on the Wally site:"IMPORTANT: Using a blank ... | |
| Mag-Lev Turntables There are several conventional turntables where the platter is wholly or partially supported by a magnetic field, but in the vertical direction only. All of them have a horizontal mechanical bearing of the usual type. Those have nothing to do wi... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? This has been discussed elsewhere, possibly earlier on this thread. The TT801 is essentially a TT101 with vacuum hold-down. To incorporate the vacuum system, it seems Victor used, or would have had to use, more ICs, to replace discrete transistors... | |
| Goldring 1042 Anti Skate Too High on Dead Wax Why don't you listen to some music? The method you are using to set anti-skate is not the best idea, anyway. If music sounds good, it IS good. | |
| Springs under turntable Mijo, I owned a Star Sapphire for 10 years, and I’ve had some experience with a Cosmos too. Based on my memory of these products only, I would have thought that the spring rate is certainly a bit higher than 3 Hz. In fact, I am now remembering tha... | |
| Springs under turntable This is why I use Delmonte Mandarin orange slices in water, in small cans, as my turntable isolation devices. I use three of them to support a slate slab containing a turntable chassis, either Denon DP80 or Lenco. I support the weight of the slate... | |
| Another review of a tweaked Denon DL-103R ??? Oh no! Boring? Surely not! Please read it! So your effective mass is probably 50-60 grams, at least. | |
| Another review of a tweaked Denon DL-103R ??? Oh no! Boring? Surely not! Please read it! Ultimate, reading your description of its construction I was most struck by the notion that your modified Denon must be very heavy, since the DL103 is already in the heavy category to begin with. What does it weigh, and what is the effective mass ... | |
| Springs under turntable Mijo, Re your response to Indra, how would you delivered energy to the equipment on an isolation device such that you could then “count” it’s resulting oscillations? Seems to me you’d want to replicate the natural state where hitting the TT with a... | |
| Springs under turntable Yep. I do know what I am missing, and I don't miss it.Even when electronic manipulation of the system response is "transparent" (and I will believe that when I hear it), the subjective impression of the listeners I have been around is that they ar... |
