| 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... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. Bose, the enemy of SQ and truth in advertising. | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. I just Googled. There is a whole Wiki article on this subject. Seems the damage is manifested at the hair cells in otherwise young healthy persons. | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. Terry, "105db" at what frequencies? This issue of hearing damage from US RCMs makes me realize that I am not sure what part of the physiologic chain that results in "hearing" is damaged by prolonged exposure to high SPL in the audible range. Cou... | |
| First Turntable - Direct drive or Belt drive? My point was that since you already own an Ayre line stage, which is inherently a balanced circuit, you may as well also acquire a balanced phono stage. I say this also because most people with experience suggest that the Ayre products sound best ... | |
| First Turntable - Direct drive or Belt drive? Yep. Good old R0817 has apparently taken a powder. I'll miss his wit. | |
| First Turntable - Direct drive or Belt drive? Melm, the man already has good digital. Take a look at his equipment list.Also, the man has some money. The obvious fit for a phono stage is the Ayre P5Xe, which is a balanced circuit to go with the Ayre linestage. In which case it makes sense to ... |
