| Zerostat Milty really? Do you know how to use the Xerostat? If you are not using it correctly, it won't work at all. There are detailed descriptions of its proper use in these archives or on Vinyl Asylum, or elsewhere on the internet. It would be a good idea to read ... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? daveyf, Sorry. I did think your +1 was tinged with sarcasm. At the time, you and Raul were engaged in a back and forth that I wanted no part of. Anyway, my bad.I'm kind of surprised, not to say "shocked; shocked I tell you", that apparently mos... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) So why did he sell the Monaco? (Presumably you refer to the Grand Prix Monaco, a turntable we once thought was "expensive" at $20,000 or so.) | |
| Phono cable advice. I think Atmasphere would agree that in certain environments, like in the middle of any big city, near power lines or large electric devices, it would make sense to use shielded phono cables. Also, if you don't or can't carefully route your phono ... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ 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, ... |
