| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) So how do you think Berning manages to build an SMPS that does not offend you? He's been using such supplies for maybe as much as 20 years or more. Which is why one can lift his ZOtl amplifiers with one hand. Also, the linear supplies of vintage... | |
| Analogue-free system I'm with tooblue. If I could find a digital set-up that brought me as close to the emotional content of live music as does vinyl, I would adopt it. I have heard many variations on megabuck digital. Without fail, those systems sound very very goo... | |
| review iPhono 2 Chakster’s results with the Ortofon MC2000 driving the iPhono2, which supplies 72db of gain, were to be expected. As someone else noted above, the .05mV of the MC2000 would produce 0.2V output. If you connect the iPhono2 to a high-ish gain linesta... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun, Once upon a time I would have agreed with you about the superiority of a linear PS in all cases, but in recent years there have been big improvements in the design and execution of SMPSs. And, like Invictus says, there are some pretty n... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Dear Chakster, Have you compared the EPA100 to the EPA100 mk2, side by side, using the same cartridge on the same turntable in both cases? In that context, is the Mk2 version audibly superior to the base EPA100? I know that the mk2 was much mor... | |
| Do I need a sut? Analogluvr, No. You haven't tried the "right" phono stage. It IS possible to run the MC2000 without a SUT. However, I am not about to claim that my fully active phono stage is overall superior to any phono gain system using a SUT. I will just ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Here's a thought: What is the evidence that the relationships between the two turntables and the two tonearms that you cite was actually intended by Technics? I think it's just as likely that they were developing their turntables, on the one han... | |
| Reducing Background Noise On Records Ditto to what Ralph (Atmasphere) wrote. | |
| Amazon Reference w/Moerch Tonearm any reviews? Do you mean "coreless"? I can't imagine a motor with no coil at all. | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue jsman, I well recall the very first time I heard a Triplanar, which must have been back in the early 90s. That was the first time I appreciated that a tonearm could have a dramatic effect on the "sound" of a system, particularly the effect of cor... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Ralph, I knew you would want to use the TP on the 10R, but I did not want to "assume".Seems I could plop the 10R down into my Mk3 plinth with the 10.5-inch Reed, but not for the moment will I consider it. Later, maybe. I am going to ask Tri abou... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Yes, I kind of wish they had dropped that square escutcheon that characterized the Mk2 and Mk3. Because of it, you are pretty much limited to a 12-inch tonearm, if you want to add a second tonearm to a Mk2 or 3. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Chakster and Totem, Based on Ralph's description of the plinth for the SL1200G, which is very favorable, I would imagine that the plinth for the 10R is state of the art or even represents a new state of the art. If an exact replica of the EPA100 ... | |
| Alternatives ot Dynavector DV-1t ZYX UNIverse ought to be considered at this level. I do know that I prefer it to the Benz LPS. But all these cartridges are very good. I'm very curious about the AT1000, too. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Chakster, The shape of the whole SP1000R package should remind you of the analogous predecessor packages from Technics, the Mk2 and Mk3 in OEM plinths with a ringer for the EPA100 tonearm (SL1000, etc). Why on earth would you bring up a "Lead Co... |
