| VTF gauge Although I paid much more for my Ortofon DS 3, too blue, I am sure you are fine with the Riverstone. Good for you. I bought the Ortofon when I was in Tokyo last spring, and I felt I needed to buy “something” so I could say to myself I got a barg... | |
| VTF gauge By the way, the Shure SFG is among those scales that are faintly magnetic. I own two of them and both misbehave with LOMC cartridges. | |
| VTF gauge The Shure SFG was for decades all we had available. In that regard, surely it is an audio classic. You may want to put it in some sort of Hall of Fame. That would be OK with me. However, now we have inexpensive digital stylus force gauges that are... | |
| Ok guys Scaf, first of all, if you listen to cassette tapes, you shouldn’t be here. But yes; leave them uncovered. | |
| Ready to pull the trigger on a DD turntable: Technics SL-1210GR or Pioneer PLX1000??? +4 | |
| Phono Stage Gain Question Table jockey inferred that you are using a step up transformer into the low gain input of your chinook. When I read your original post, I don’t see that. If you are not using a step up transformer, I am quite surprised that 45 DB is enough gain fo... | |
| Phono Stage Gain Question With the volume control at 1 o’clock you’re not even pushing it at 45db gain. The attenuator is in fact reducing the available signal voltage so as not to blow your head off. So you’re fine.Would help to know the output of the Kiseki cartridge. Is... | |
| Ok guys For my part, I apologize if my last post was a bit rough on Mijo. Everyone should always do what sounds best to that individual. I guess I made my dust cover decision years ago and am now too old to change. | |
| Ok guys Richopp, I did not endorse Kenny G. I included him in a list of things about which people disagree vehemently. If you must know, I regard his music as a particularly brutal form of torture.Mijo, you have an inordinate dust phobia. I am glad your d... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Auto correct got me in that last post. I meant to say, “I THINK what we have here is a failure to communicate.”The quote is from the movie “cool hand Luke”, for those of us who are old enough to remember it. | |
| Ok guys So, suspension per se does not determine the benefit of a dust cover, based on noromance’s testimony. I’m not keeping track any more, but I think there are 3 who use a cover while playing LPs. The rest of us are on the other side of the fence. If ... | |
| JVC Glass Turntable Platter Elliott, don’t waste your money. | |
| Ok guys Miller is wavering but if he sticks with his original position I think the poll is now running 7-2 against using a dust cover when playing LPs. (I have no beef with covering a turntable when it’s not in use.)I must be lucky; I have no special prob... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I then no what we have here is another failure to communicate. | |
| Ok guys i guess dust covers are like politics, religion, olives, and Kenny G. All taboo subjects in polite company.It’s interesting that the pro dust cover guys, so far, are both owners of SOTA turntables. I owned a Star Sapphire Series III with vacuum f... |
