| David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions Pani, I am surprised you felt compelled to go to solid state amplification to drive your Tannoys; I usually think of Tannoy speakers as being high impedance and high efficiency, thus well suited to even flea power SETs. In fact, one of your respo... | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? Once.But I have a backlog of unwashed LPs, and if I want to hear one of those, I will play it regardless, if I can see no visual evidence of deposits on the surface. | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Apparently, one not only has to see, but to see only with your eyes. | |
| Technics Sp-10 platter screws Tim, Same goes for the two samples that I have owned. (Or do you in fact own my Mk2A? I've forgotten.) | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Dear Raul, I have to laugh every time I read one of your posts that cordially begins with "Dear" so-and-so and cordially ends with "Regards and enjoy the music", yet in between the salutations, we find only vitriol. It would be OK to agree that w... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Dear Raul, According to every treatise I have ever read about the Tiptoes, the originals made of solid aluminum, they were not intended to be anti-resonance devices. They were/are meant to drain energy, but in one direction only. In other words... | |
| Technics Sp-10 platter screws My impression would be that the screw shown in the photo is definitely not an original. Photos of the original can be found on the Soundfountain website, or simply by Googling "SP10 Mk2 platter screws". The screw shown would probably require a w... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond If we could have a rational discussion of "damping", I would like to comment on Raul's long post covering that subject. There is more than one way to skin the cat (with apologies to Flier's cat). Besides damping spurious resonances one can also ... | |
| Technics Sp-10 platter screws Peter, Before reading your post, I would have agreed with JP, but the sum total of my personal experience with the Mk2 is equal to 2 samples (one each of a Mk2 and a Mk2A). Neither had washers under the platter screws, unless you are using the te... | |
| Confused along the journey--opinions please Your turntable is fine.Your cartridge is excellent. You won't find an MC in that price range that can compete with it.You observed that you like the Manley Chinook better than the other choices before you, so it seems self-evident that you might ... | |
| Introducing my 2.2 Stereo If you want to critique your home system, why not invite some music-loving friends over for a listen, preferably some who also are audiophiles. Let them listen for a few hours, and then ask your questions. You might also consider visiting the ho... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I now realize that you guys may be referring to the area UNDER the platter. Yes, mine is painted in that area. Only the exposed outer rim of the circular escutcheon is brushed alu or chrome or whatever.I remember going to visit Julius Futterman,... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Congratulations, JP. Perhaps having my TT101 in your shop had something to do with your pursuing the new purchase. So far as I can tell, the finish on your escutcheon (the decorative rim that shows above the plinth and bears the switch panel) is... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Halcro, I loved your observation about vintage MM and some (not all) vintage MC cartridges vs modern LOMC cartridges. It was bang on the money. Last night I was listening to my SS re-tipped Grace Ruby, about a $600 total investment, and wonderin... | |
| Vintage MONO Cartridge Question ? In theory, the noise generated by vertical motion of the stylus in a mono cartridge is cancelled by adding the positive and negative signals from each channel, in a mono cartridge that was created from a stereo cartridge. As I think Fleib is tryi... |
