| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? The poor OP asked about a WOODEN record mat and so far I see not one relevant response.(Cork is not what he meant.) I’ve never seen or heard of a solid wood mat but it’s an interesting idea. Is there even a commercially made example? Perhaps the O... | |
| AT 1000 buying opportunity in the East I shopped for that cartridge in Tokyo exactly one year ago. The price in Tokyo is approximately the same as it is in the USA. Don’t waste your time. However I don’t know about Hong Kong or anywhere else in the world. I would not expect it to be l... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable At the very least, get the TT101’s out of the garage. The moisture and changes in temperature and humidity that might occur in the garage would be bad news for the circuit boards in the TT101. Put them in a dry location with a stable room temperat... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable I own both but cannot compare them, because different plinths, tonearms, and cartridges. And they are connected to two entirely different systems, one feeding Beveridge speakers (TT101) and one feeding Sound Lab 845PXs (DP80). And, the DP80 sits i... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. Like I said here last week, the question of whether US cleaning harms LPs can be asked in a fairly scientific manner using test LPs that encode pure tones at known frequencies. There is no real need to guess or go on subjective impressions. Someo... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable One other thing is being overlooked here. For a period of time I owned both an SP10 Mk2 and my DP80. I had both of them serviced by Bill Thalmann at Musical Technologies in Springfield, VA. (It's only about a 25 minute drive from my house in Bet... | |
| Do MC Cartridges Deteriorate over time The good news for you is that you have no way of knowing how it might have sounded 15 years ago. So, if it sounds good to you now, there is no use in worrying. And as others have implied, there are expectations that cartridges deteriorate even i... | |
| Question about background noise I sort of disagree; you can have a very black background during vinyl reproduction, when all the stars align properly. This is not to say there is NO noise. This is to say that the signal to noise ratio of the system from front to back can be su... | |
| Question about background noise The noise, or lack of noise, between cuts on an LP reveals any other source of noise other than the music, at the particular gain setting of the phono stage. Could be on the vinyl, could be the signal to noise ratio of your particular phono stage ... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. Yes, wondered about his using that same brush multiple times in succession and then being surprised that he kept revealing that whitish deposit, which might well have come from the brush that was dirty from previous use. But I gave him the benefi... | |
| Roadrunner reapearance The Roadrunner alone could be used to monitor the speed while you continue to use the ADS. But.the entire new ensemble including RR renders the ADS superfluous. | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. I watched the video on the Kirmuss machine done during the 2018 RMAF. I have no issues with any of the claims made, but I would never ever be bothered to go through that ritual with every single new LP I buy. I already find that I waste a lot of... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable I own a Dp80. It is perhaps too simple to say that the platter is spring loaded. The platter is two concentric pieces,an inner piece that is about the size of the record label or a little wider in diameter, and an outer which goes all the way out... | |
| About to Buy a Technics SP-10!? Am I making a mistake? So much for the naysayers.Now check out the electrolytic capacitors and have someone calibrate the drive. | |
| About to Buy a Technics SP-10!? Am I making a mistake? By the way, it is almost impossible that the turntable could not be repaired, if in fact it’s not working correctly. All parts are available. |
