| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Before now, an SP10 Mk3 complete and in good to excellent working condition would have been worth about $10K to $12K, sans any plinth. I think the introduction of the SP10R into the market place will drive the value of the Mk3 down below the 5-fi... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Not surprising that an ART9 would completely crush a Grado MCZ. MCZ was noticeably inferior to Grado TLZ and XTZ, 30 years ago, to my ears in my system, of course. (I don't mean to sound snotty, but maybe I do. Sorry.) I still have the TLZ, bu... | |
| I have a Grace F9 Ruby and Signet TK 10ML on the way I have two Ruby cartridges. One still has its original elliptical stylus. The other one I purchased with no cantilever at all, at a suitably low price. (OEM stylus/cantilever carrier assembly was included but with no cantilever.) The cartridge bod... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor cleeds, Perhaps I misunderstand what you are trying to say in response to dang, but he is talking about turntables, not tonearms. In fact, there are at least 3 different "standards" for spindle diameter. As you might guess, it is critical for an... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor Raul, You equate tracking angle error with audible "distortion". I am skeptical that this is a valid assumption. (The key word is "audible".) If you are so sensitive to tracking angle error, why are you even bothering with pivoted tonearms? Yo... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor I am sorry to learn that your system is not accurate enough to allow you to perceive the obvious distortion that I heard when I set up the DV505 for Baerwald. I am joking, of course. But why would you say such a silly thing? Any alignment geometry... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor My one experience is with the Dynavector DV505, which is unique, as you know, in having two independent pivots, one for horizontal and one for vertical motion of the arm wand. The DV505 was designed for the DV alignment, which is very close to St... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor If you're concerned with only one tonearm, then I agree with Raul that the Mint LP protractor, which you have to order specifically for each tonearm and each different alignment algorithm you may want to try, is more cost-effective. However, if y... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I am going to guess that you replaced the wire that was broken with that thin gauge green insulated wire, seen in the last photo at about 7 o'clock on the face of the PCB. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? And don't lose any of those five copper washers shown in the photo. Also, when you put the motor back together, make sure you put the washers back exactly where you found them, as they effect critical spacing between rotor and stator inside the m... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? With all due respect to Mr Thalmann, he did not repair my TT101, perhaps because my TT101 always worked properly when it was at Bill's shop in Virginia. That is to be expected when something is "intermittent".JP fixed my TT101, and it still is wor... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I still don't understand what you are observing. Let me guess: the turntable comes up to speed and works normally for "2-3-5-7 hours" and then... Here is where I lose you; does the motor stop driving the platter and then does the platter coast t... | |
| Has anyone heard the Miyajima 'Snakewood' cartridge, Nandric, Once you squeeze all the oil out of it, snake wood is really hard. | |
| Moving a 5,000 vinyl LP collection safely Now that that's solved, what town are you moving to? | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I didn't mention potential problems with ANY old turntable, such as issues with the bearing and spindle shaft.Also, best-groove, it is probable that your turntable needs calibration. As I understand it, calibration involves equalizing the impulses... |
