| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Moonglum, I am not sure whether I am being chastised or not, so I won’t respond to your comment that has to do with John Ellison and the fact that I happen to disagree with his conclusion, which is after all an opinion.I’m not sure what you mean b... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) The other relevant comparison that I would like to see done is between the SP 10R or SL1000R and any of several modern direct drive turn tables that have hit the market in the last five years or so. One example is the VPI classic. Another is the B... | |
| Platter mat insanity These last few posts sort of illustrate the "dilemma", if this issue could take on the dimensions of a real dilemma. I cannot disagree in the slightest with what Tom Mackris wrote. It makes perfect sense. But then we have to take into account t... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Raul, Your response to my question about the point of your long post of 10/12 at 4:55 PM again leaves me at least a bit puzzled and upset. My question was genuine. I was not taking sides with "daveyf". Little did I know that daveyf would subseq... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) tzh, Where does JP say he returned his 10R? Also, where does he say that the Mk3 sounded "better"? From what I read, he said the 10R very slightly outperformed the Mk3 in terms of measurements only and that the Mk3 is built better. He made no c... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) The verbal description of the difference between the SP10R and the SP10 Mk3 SQ sounds to me like what I would describe as the difference between a coreless motor (in the 10R) and an iron core motor (in the Mk3). I run my (JP- and Krebs-modified) ... | |
| High-end TT setup with phono stage built in I'm with brf. It seems that's what you want, as an alternative to the SME Synergy type of solution (where the phono stage is built in to the TT). And as someone else wrote, you could buy one of the many tiny, inexpensive, yet good phono stages n... | |
| Phono cable advice. Whatever you buy, this is what you want in a phono cable (or in any RCA to RCA cable for that matter, if possible): Since the cartridge is an inherently balanced device that is treated as single-ended when using RCA to RCA connection into a singl... | |
| Milky white deposit on cantilever/stylus of NOS Signet TK10ML, still in original box, etc. I have been trying to post some responses without success. So far as I can tell, boron is relatively inert. It does not oxidize readily, therefore. The item was in a factory sealed box or package all this time. I am wondering whether due to ch... | |
| Platter mat insanity Resomat, anyone? | |
| Platter mat insanity noromance, The intent of my post was not to suggest that you purchase a Resomat. I was merely trying to point out that possibly the inadvertant effect of leaving the strobe disc on your platter, thereby raising the LP off the surface of the mat, ... | |
| Platter mat insanity Have you ever heard of the "Resomat", made by Trans-fi in England? Contrary to most dogma, it raises the LP above the platter on a bunch of rubber tips. This permits the LP to resonate freely. That mat has a loyal following. So, maybe you are i... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Ya gotta love the banter on this thread. | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? bimasta, Biggest difference between M-S DDX1000 and DQX1000, in addition to all the other differences you point out, is that the latter has a quartz-referenced speed control, whereas the DDX does not. A very important difference. | |
| Phono cable advice. Dollar for dollar, I have found nothing better than Anti-cables, at several different price points. Anti-cables only recently started making phono cables, by which I refer to cables terminated at one end with a Cardas DIN plug and at the other en... |
