| 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. | |

| 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... |
