| 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... | |
| Ok guys 4-2.Surprised, Al. Have you tried without? | |
| Ok guys Dust cover off and placed in storage: 4Dust cover on at all times: 1 (Mijo)I added my vote for no dust cover to those of Chak, Slaw, and Miller Carbon, for a total of 4.To be clear, leaving a dust cover attached to the plinth in “up” position is a... | |
| Finally bought a new Turntable! Jay, by definition we assume that an “integrated amplifier” has on one chassis both a line stage and an amplifier. A line stage takes signal from several sources, eg, a phono stage, CD player, tuner, TV, etc, and allows you to select among them fo... | |
| Finally bought a new Turntable! I don’t know who said that the load resistance will affect the gain, except as I noted where the load resistance is nearly equal to, equal to, or less than the internal resistance of the cartridge. When the load resistance equals the internal resi... | |
| Finally bought a new Turntable! The load resistance effects the phono section so possibly Sim knows their design goes unstable at 47K, but otherwise what they wrote is hogwash. If you like it, it’s good. A sign of instability would be exaggerated ticks and pops. | |
| Finally bought a new Turntable! No effect until you get near to or below the internal resistance of the cartridge. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Then state your source. I have no idea whether you’re right or wrong. And I never said or suggested you made it up. I’ve searched the internet and can’t find an ss300 owner manual, even in Japanese. I’m just curious; that’s my nature. | |
| Finally bought a new Turntable! There is a “wrong” load resistance. For optimal transfer of the signal theory says the load resistance should be ~10X the internal resistance of the MC cartridge. Above 10x (e.g. 47K ohms) is also no problem. When the load resistor falls below a v... | |
| Finally bought a new Turntable! 66db is more than adequate gain for the Hana SL. Are you using a separate line stage? If so, active or passive? If active, it probably adds yet more gain. If passive do you know if the impedance match is ok? What amplifier and speaker? All of thes... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Raul, what are you talking about? I have the ss300 you sold me. Can you provide some factory published information to support the idea that SAEC recommended drilling LPs? If you can, that would remove all doubt. If you can’t then maybe you can say... | |
| Manley Chinook Owners Tube Rolling Apparently the Chinook uses two 6922s per channel. If that’s not correct, stop reading this, because I don’t want to mislead you. If it is correct then you would mess around with the tubes closest to the centerline of the chassis. That’s if it’s c... |
