| technics 1200g tonearm question headshell angled not parallel to lp Photo?Up til now, I thought you were saying that the headshell does not sit at zero degrees azimuth, which means that when you view the headshell "on end", the flat top surface of the headshell is not parallel to the LP surface. If this is NOT wh... | |
| TT mats "coreless", not "cordless" | |
| Which tubes do I change?? Why do you just assume that changing tubes will ameliorate your problem? For example, first of all, what evidence suggests that the problem lies in your phono stage? Bass boominess could be the result of a mismatch between cartridge compliance a... | |
| TT mats bondmanp, Thanks for that info. I will look into that mat for use on the TT101, which also has a coreless motor. Both the TT101 and the L07D motors are derived from the original Dual cordless motor (as is that of the newer Bergmann DD turntable)... | |
| TT mats enginedr1960, Are you blocking EMI with the ERSA mat? I ask because this is worth doing for some DD turntables. On the L07D website, one is advised to do something about that, even though the L07D has a 5-lb stainless steel "platter sheet", whic... | |
| TT mats dorkwad, In what respect are you agreeing with noromance? Noromance uses an LP as a platter mat, not a bare platter. And really, using a bare platter only means that you are placing the LP on a surface that is native to that particular platter. ... | |
| TT mats I guess I'm a zombie, in that case. To each, his own. The BA mats have lots of fans, not too many detractors. What turntable, tonearm, cartridge? I use the BA Mat2 on my SP10 Mk3 with Reed tonearm and ZYX UNIverse cartridge. I also use a Mat2 ... | |
| TT mats Noromance, What you experience as "energy suck" is what some others might experience as proper dissipation of spurious energy that would otherwise generate resonant frequencies audible in playback. I am not saying that you are "wrong" and the othe... | |
| Record’s physical design properties Not only what tketcham wrote, but also keep in mind that moving the CW also changes tonearm effective mass, which can have an effect on bass response if the resonant frequency is near to being too high in the first place. (The position of the CW ... | |
| Galibier Stelvio II, Durand Kairos with Lyra Kleos (HEAVEN) When I buy any expensive audio product, I consider first, and maybe foremost, the person from whom I am buying, both the character and the skill of the guy who runs the company. That's what you're paying for in the end. In this case, you made a ... | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable From all that I can gather, Fremer is intellectually honest. He is telling you the truth as he sees it or hears it. He may pull his punches for products where he is emotionally or contractually involved, but he will typically reveal that sort of... | |
| Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records Dear Parrot, I have never had the pleasure of listening to an ELP, but from my reading, the laser "reads" not only the signal encoded in an LP but also the dirt in the grooves. The laser cannot differentiate between the two. Therefore, unless the... | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable Dear Chakster, I guess I was responding to your bald statement that "nothing" can beat the SP10 Mk2, presumably in its price range and in the category of vintage direct-drive types. My remark was just meant in fun. However, I agree that "below ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun, No, I do agree with you from a purist point of view, but I also believe that it is possible to implement an SMPS that doesn't pollute the signal (e.g., Berning products) and that in a turntable, an SMPS is not much in the signal path. ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Your ultrasonic cleaner arrived TODAY? And you're already convinced? Or maybe I'm a "winer". |
