| SME release new Garrard 301 Sonic, you have kind of skirted the point. If the turntable shown in the photos published by SME is an example of their new product, then it is no different from an Artisan Fidelity or other refurbishment project that we have seen before. Arguabl... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 Well, on a 301, the serial number is right there upfront for all to see. So I don’t know who is going to be fooled and for how long. Most 301 lovers are steeped in serial numbers, in order to distinguish grease bearing from oil bearing models, an... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. I just noticed something funny, which maybe others have already noticed, and almost certainly the OP has noticed. When this thread was initiated it was about loss of high frequencies on the LP, in other words damage to the LP from ultrasonic clea... | |
| Platter wobble Your only hope, if you want to fix this problem without spending money, is to try the method suggested by GK. Otherwise, you have a platter that is not flat. A flat platter is a core requirement in vinyl reproduction. If one of your rigid mats lie... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 On vinyl asylum, someone published photos of the new SME 301 product that show in one case the serial number. I believe that the serial number shown on the black placard is that of an original Garrard 301. Therefore I suspect that what we are loo... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable Nothing wrong with DK300 but I would replace the mdf arm board with brass or aluminum | |
| Any Hagerman Trumpet users have tube suggestions? Glad your happy. | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable I hasten to add that while the slate plinths I had made are beautiful and professional looking in appearance, I did not try to achieve the boutique look of an OMA plinth, with its logo engraved into the slate. And my tonearm mounts are rather cru... | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono If you live in a low RFI environment, you might not suffer for lack of shielding. I use unshielded tonearm leads in my suburban environment, for some of my arms, and I don't perceive a problem. Which is to say that my tonearms using shielded wir... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable I think my slate comes from the same site that supplies OMA, but in any case it's Pennsylvania slate that we both use. The company is Structural Slate in Bala Cynwyd, PA. They cut the slate to my dimensions and honed both sides to make them flat... | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono Dedicated AC would help, and usually does help, if there are other devices otherwise attached to the same AC line that produce electrical noise in the form of EMI. It could make a big difference if you've got your refrigerator or dishwasher drawi... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 THAT tonearm and THAT plinth?It looks like a replica of the original, rather than an upgrade from it. Unlike what Technics did with the SP1000R. | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable Mine is in a 2-inch thick piece of slate that I sourced from Pennsylvania in the US. Mine came in a DK300 plinth with a DA301 tonearm, not the 401. I think I have the pdf file needed to program a water jet for creating the hole and the 3 screw bol... | |
| First Turntable - Direct drive or Belt drive? What is a Technics SL1015? I am not familiar with that model. Or did you mean to say “SL1500”? If so, I would have thought you could buy one for less than $1K.The OP owns a multi thousand dollar CDP and some other fine equipment as well, so I thin... |
