| How to upgrade "power cord" on turntable with wall wart? Millercarbon wrote, "...if things outside the signal path can’t matter then why does the turntable matter at all? Platter, bearing, tone arm, motor- whole thing is outside the signal path. Yet someone with no experience just said emphatically i... | |
| Anyone experienced speed issues with Artemis Labs SA-1? The issue could be the cell phone app. It stinks. Does the music have unstable pitch? Many have reported "problems" with speed after measuring rpm with the cell phone app. Apparently, a measurement of 32 rpm is not outside of the margin of erro... | |
| Victor TT 801 Bestie, Yes, the TT101 is much more complex electrically than a TT81. That was the point of my last post. Since Chak is a thorough researcher, I would suppose he is correct about the TT81 innards. But there is a third possibility: it may be TT10... | |
| Victor TT 801 Before Chak posted, I would have said it's a TT101 with vacuum platter, not a TT81. But if you look at the cross-sectional views on Vintage Knob, you will see that much of the interior space is taken up by the vacuum system, which when I first sa... | |
| Victor TT 801 Elliot, calm down is my advice. | |
| Victor TT 801 If chakster is correct, and what he said makes sense, then all you need is a TT81 service manual, which I believe is available on Vinyl Engine for free.Think of the TT801 as a TT 81 with a separate vacuum platter system built-in. I was able to get... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Attachment? | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! For what it's worth, I don't think we are talking about "wow and flutter". I think the issue most harped upon by those who dislike idlers is noise manifest as rumble. Let's face it, rumble is a potential problem, but proper restoration of the mo... | |
| Is a Lyra Kleos good with a current-mode phono preamp? Less than 10 ohms is a good rule of thumb. But not all "current-driven" phono stages are created equal, as they all have an input impedance that is in reality greater than zero. The one Chakster uses comes the closest to zero input impedance of an... | |
| Kirmuss audios ultrasonic record cleaner Mr Kirmuss, Here you refer to your additive as an "ionizing surfactant" and as an "ionizing detergent", and as being "bipolar" in one instance. So, obviously that would be different from either Photoflow or Triton X100/Tween20, which are non-ioni... | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! Here’s where I say (to Mijo) that I owned a Star Sapphire Series III with vacuum platter for about 10 years, as my one and only turntable. I sold it in the late 90s. I replaced it with a Nottingham Analog Hyperspace, another belt drive but an unsu... | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... I admire you guys who have not one, but two or more FM tuners. I guess you can use one for each worthwhile FM station, so you never have to tune them. | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! Uber makes a good point. A properly restored 301 or 401 purchased at a fair price is very fungible. | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... Like rpeluso, I use a Luxman T110. In my audio life, I have owned two different Marantz 10Bs, as well, and I have lusted for a Sequerra. But it doesn't make sense these days to spend so much on a tuner. | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! The Rega, the Lenco, and the Linn LP12 probably speak 3 entirely different turntable languages. The SOTA might even speak a 4th language. So if you are a buyer, the best thing to do a priori is to figure out which characteristics you like best a... |
