| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner Nor can I (imagine a return to BD).Nor do I hear any “veil” coloration or “hunting”, once the plinth is made proper for the device. This is with serviced and calibrated DD tables at quality level DP80 and up. (SP10 Mk3, Kenwood L07D, Victor TT101.... | |
| The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why? Uber, My only "Denon" experience is with the DP80, the best they made for home use. Second only to the DP100 and DP308, which are both megabuck items these days. I would shoot for a DP75 or DP80, if I were you. The cost is only a few hundred bu... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... I don't recall seeing any Benz cartridges on sale in Tokyo, as of last June. Or any time before that, either. But since I wasn't actually looking for a Benz, it could have escaped my notice. | |
| The Cartridge and Stylus makes a big difference. LPS is supposed to be their best effort, according to those who have heard it. I heard it at a friend's house, was not overwhelmed, but I have never been a big fan of Benz cartridges. He dumped it in favor of the latest version of the ZYX Univer... | |
| The Cartridge and Stylus makes a big difference. "the cartridge and the most importantly, the stylus has a lot to do with good sound."Why is that a revelation? I take it more as a given. | |
| The urge to tinker is awash. What TT might better mine and why? As the owner of a much modified Lenco and four high quality DD turntables, and having owned a Notts Hyperspace before embarking on my odyssey with idler- and direct-drive, I feel confident in saying that any top notch vintage DD or any well develo... | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... Buying cartridges in Japan:Boys, I travel to Tokyo frequently and when there I haunt audio salons in my spare time. You will never see a Lyra cartridge overtly for sale in Tokyo. Likewise for Koetsu, maybe excepting their lowest cost models. If yo... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? The joke's on me. I posted on the wrong thread, in my comment on buying cartridges in Japan. Davey, however, found me. This tonearm thread is just as annoying. | |
| JVC tt-101 repair Lack of torque may be a sign it needs calibration, which is not a big deal if you can find someone who knows how to do it. Before that, though, the electrolytic capacitors should be evaluated and probably most of them need replacing. Failure of ... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? That’s mail order. | |

| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Tooblue, unless you’re a teenager, any well built phono stage will outlive you, unless you define death as tubes wearing out, or in the even longer run, electrolytics going bad. Both of those events need not be “fatal”. | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner DP80 also allows speed adjustment but I think it disengages the servo. | |
| The nightmare of the cartridge buyer... +2 for Herman, but I said as much several pages ago. | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner Peter, your comments lead me to believe that you have probably installed your tachometer on a few Denon turntables that you have restored. I am wondering whether you find that your tachometer is in agreement with the built in strobe device on Den... |
