| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Agree with Bimasta. I also own a 100VAC Denon DP80 and use a stepdown. If anything, the step down transformer affords a form of isolation from your household AC contamination. You can buy a very capable unit for well under $100 off eBay. I actu... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Dear Raul, Apparently, you would benefit from looking up the English definition of the word "respect". After that, try looking up "regards". You may be surprised to learn that you display neither quality. After that, please re-read any of my pr... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Dear Theophile, You seem to have an in-depth knowledge of the GT2000. Can you tell me what distinguishes the GT2000L from the GT2000? Thanks. | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE I wouldn't be at all surprised if the 1200GAE or G outperforms a bone stock SP10 MK2 (with all due respect to owners of the Mk2). I don't own the 1200GAE, but I have owned two of the latter, each of which was re-mounted in a slate plinth, re-capp... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I had a go at re-wiring the tonearm on my Kenwood L07D, which has a separate part number, L07J. I gave up when I found that I could not separate the vertical shaft from the pivot housing, even after all fasteners that might have prevented the sep... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I'm not a customer for anything to damp my FR64S, as I have no reason to believe it's a problem in my system. (See any or all of my earlier posts here.) I am using a Dynavector headshell on my FR64S and an Acutex LPM320 cartridge, which is a ligh... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 dc, Raul owns or owned a DP75; there’s not much he hasn’t played with at one time or another. I own a DP80 which I’ve mounted in a slate plinth with a Triplanar tonearm. So far as I have been able to determine, DP75 = DP80. This is a wonderful com... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Nandric, Thanks for filling in the model number of the preferred Ikeda tonearm. I've never seen an Ikeda arm of any type, but in photos I don't see any evidence that they incorporate damping any more so than the FR tonearms. But I reckon the arm... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 In my post of 01/31/17, the one preceding Dover's last post, I should have written "because of", not "even with". It is because I am using a lighter than OEM headshell and a very lightweight MI cartridge that the CW has had to be moved so close t... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? Upstairs, Monk at the Blackhawk on a Technics SP10 Mk3 with Reed tonearm and ZYX Universe cartridge.Downstairs, Sarah Vaughn, any of several different LPs, on a PTP Lenco with slate plinth, Dynavector tonearm, superbearing, and Phoenix drive syste... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Dover, Your logic is impeccable. My memory was not, and anyway I should have thought more about what I wrote. The actual case is that even with a slightly lighter than OEM headshell and even with the Acutex (lightweight) cartridge, the CW is very... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I responded to K's post over on his own thread. Suffice to say I too am very grateful to JP, for his work on my TT101 and eventually for replacing the so far no problem MN6042 in my Mk3 with his discrete circuit. I've posted here on my interacti... | |
| Technics SP-10MK3 Turntable and JP Jones Replacement Chip for MN6042 Furthermore, JP is a godsend to all of us (not just Technics owners) who admire the finest direct-drive turntables of yesteryear (sorry, Lone Ranger fans). I have a Victor TT101 that I bought cheaply, because it was "broken". For 3 years thereaft... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Haha! You're probably right, 2channel. I plead guilty to letting the exchange degenerate into a mano a mano. However, someone wrote very early on that the FR64S is generally considered to be far superior to the FR54, and I, for one, assumed this... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Fleib, It's telling that your only example of the move away from Rule by Law is the actions of Greenpeace. As for the rest of your random shots, where did they come from, and where are they going?Anyway, we are all under stress right now, and per... |
