| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable I use ss300 on my TT101. If the dp80 was in regular use, I’d buy an ss300 for it,too.I’ve been in Tokyo this whole time, visiting our son. When I get back home I’ll check the condition of the Dp80 platter. | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable Just speculating but SFTG reads like the prefix of a Technics part number. | |
| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement Nandric, your point about the difficulty in repairing the original Uni is well taken, but I believe that all the later versions from Uni II on to the Optimum are “open” designs and can be repaired by any of the usual suspects, including the factor... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable Bima, my dp80 platter could well be just like yours. I haven’t closely examined it in years. So my own description may have been inaccurate. My mat is definitely OEM, has “DENON” inscribed in the rubber on the underside, like yours. It’s thick wit... | |
| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement Audiotomb, I respect your effort both to purchase all those great ZYX cartridges and to report your long term experiences. I am and have been a big fan of the original Universe, and I have no doubt that some of its progeny may be even better. How... | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production Raul, good point! | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production I have no dog in this fight, but I do happen to be here in Tokyo for the past two weeks. Today and about two days ago, I saw for sale at Yodibashi Camera what was labeled as a Technics SL1200 Mk 7. Yes, mark seven. What’s up with that? Yodibas... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Doctor Negativo strikes again with another pointless rant. | |
| JVC MC1 Moving Coil Cartridge - Heritage? Thanks, Chakster. The author of that piece is a wise man, even when his English is translated from Japanese. His experiences as a general rule parallel my own. Which is why I am loathe to make definitive statements about anything. Related to Audio... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Teo, so sorry. I must have woken up on the wrong side of the turntable. But many of your recommendations are “far out”, in my opinion. If you care to amplify, I’m curious. | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Teo, so are you saying that Teflon dielectric causes sibilance? Not to mention “magnetic” electrolytics and RCA jacks? I don’t even know where one could buy the latter two items; they virtually don’t exist.. And gain stages by definition cannot be... | |
| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? Rocky did you engineer a central depression to allow for the label area? What species of wood? Geoff’s point about warpage is a good one. | |
| Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help! Denon not “turn on”. Using voice messaging here. Sorry. | |
| Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help! I agree with Raul that you don’t have to go crazy with a perfect match for that cartridge. On the other hand I know a local guy who has one of the best sounding systems I have ever heard in my life who uses a homemade tonearm that from the looks ... | |
| 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... |
