| Denon Turntable DP 15F runs backwards ! Someone suggested cleaning the tape coating the inner rim of the platter with alcohol. I am not sure this is a bad idea, but it might be. The guiding principle is that that tape coating is essential to proper function of the speed control system.... | |
| Recently Inherited a Kenwood L-O7D If an L07D falls from the sky, it will likely fragment unless very well secured. | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp audiofun, It is I who owe you an apology for being a bit snotty in my initial post. We can agree to disagree on whether or not AC from the wall socket carries the "entire electrical signal", but I do disagree with you. You use the word "signal";... | |
| Recently Inherited a Kenwood L-O7D The outboard power supply should have a long umbilical cord attached to it. At the other end is a complex plug that should mate to a male receptacle on the main chassis. FIRST, before you do anything, see if it is a 100V version, which in all li... | |
| Which vintage direct drive? Terry, You compared your top of the line Nottingham to an old technology, and chronologically old Technics DD. That is really not a fair comparison of belt-drive vs direct-drive types. The Dias would be far superior to the Technics, in so many w... | |
| If I were to replace my VPI Airies1 with a 4k or so budget? By now, I thought you guys would know that the SOTA eclipse motor controller system is a highly sophisticated device based on the now discontinued phoenix engineering products. As such it is miles ahead of a VPI SDS and light years ahead of usin... | |
| If I were to replace my VPI Airies1 with a 4k or so budget? I would say ditch the flywheel which is the major space-eater and add a motor controller specifically the SOTA Eclipse if the vpi motor is ac synchronous. You’ll experience a major upgrade AND a reduction in size in one fell swoop. If the vpi moto... | |

| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. cleeds, "Zenith" is not something I made up. If you have a pivoted tonearm with headshell offset, and if you then alter azimuth by rotating the arm wand back near the pivot (BEFORE the headshell offset angle is introduced), then the headshell its... | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp audiofun, Back in January of this year, you responded to my question about the fuse upgrade by this statement: "If you can’t hear the difference a better circuit conduit makes while carrying the entire electrical signal then by all means keep the... | |
| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. "Azimuth on the fly". THAT I would like to see.I say this because the only proper way to adjust azimuth is to rotate the headshell (or the end of the tonearm that is offset at an angle) around its axis. If you rotate the whole tonearm back near ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Keep watch on Audiogon listings and on Audio Asylum Trader site. I found a Mat2 a few years ago, after BA went out of the mat business. They do come up from time to time. | |
| Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem Dear PK, In one of the early and now deleted posts, did you not say that you were advised (presumably by your dealer) that the DL103 and the ANS2 should work well together? And now you are saying that your dealer most recently advised you the mat... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable As per usual, this discussion has turned into several arguments. That’s OK. Terry, you seem to have presented evidence that it is worthwhile to have as noiseless a bearing as possible. With that sentiment, I wholeheartedly agree, and I am not at a... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable terry9, What evidence can you present that it is impossible to reduce bearing noise to the point where it is indeed "irrelevant"? Bearing noise is never zero, but in well designed turntables, it is below audibility to a listener at the listening ... |
