| Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues Cogging is a real thing, not something made up by audio engineers. It mainly is a problem with iron core motors. Read about it in wiki. Technics dealt with it in the past by increasing the number of poles and various other strategies. And yes, BD ... | |
| Hexagonal spanner for Fidelity Research FR 66S tonearm I have an FR64S but I don’t think the fixing nut is hexagonal. I’ll check later today. Meantime you could measure the nut with a caliper and just buy a suitable “spanner”. Because of space limitations under an armboard, I think a socket wrench wou... | |
| Vinyl Care RB evidently persists in his conviction that the friction between stylus and groove is a cause (certainly even he would not say it is the only cause) of static electric charge on the vinyl surface. This despite the fact that months ago when this q... | |
| About Koetsu Rosewood The seller has to tell you what he’s selling. That’s basic. | |
| About Koetsu Rosewood I notice that some have commented favorably on the Rosewood Signature and others on the Rosewood Signature Platinum (RSP), while Serge is contemplating purchase of the original Rosewood, unless he’s just failed to mention that it’s a Signature ver... | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback "No matter how good any of the other front end components are, they will sound lousy if the cartridge is not quietly, solidly in the groove." And what component is in charge of keeping the cartridge in the groove? The tonearm, of course. "and las... | |
| DIN Phono Cable Yes, of course, I was merely trying to explain to Jose what Maxson was getting at. Of course there may be no need for a right angle DIN with Jose's TT, just as it isn't with yours. The point was that Jose' did not get the point. | |
| DIN Phono Cable "The cable will come straight down from the tonearm connection." But where does the cable have to go next? Presumably the TT sits on a shelf, so the cable will have to bend at a 90 degree angle in order not to foul the surface of the shelf on it... | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback ..."the cat amongst the pigeons." That's a good one. Especially since a cat will often ignore larger birds. We say "setting the fox to guard the hen house". But what is it you wish to convey about the Bedrok [sic] plinth? | |
| Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues Matt, Have you ever heard of the SP10, produced in the early 70s, or the SP10 Mk2 or Mk3 (earliy 80s)? In their day, those were among the best direct drive turntables available, maybe THE best so far as the US market was concerned, because competi... | |
| DIN Phono Cable Elliot, I don't know what brand it is but the black phono IC in one of your photos bears a male DIN connector, rather than the more typical female version. Female is more typical because nearly all tonearms that accept DIN provide a male receptac... | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback I withdraw the word “worthless “. | |
| DIN Phono Cable IMO, Cardas make the nicest DIN connectors. Used on the better cables. | |
| Ortofon carts are too hot for my phono preamp? Seems I followed up my own post on the overload phenomenon, yet somehow it fails to appear here. Probably my fault for not clicking the green button. Anyway, I did some further reading on the phono overload phenomenon. Seems it is a complex subj... | |
| Develop a hierarchy for phono playback "I would like everyone to go back and carefully re-read ghdprentice's post. I think his logic is excellent and could form the basis for consensus. Thoughts?" Many thoughts are already out there, and I have not changed my opinion that assigning ... |
