| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Sorry, Chakster.Evidently my memory of the chronology of events is faulty. Your quote of my old post suggests that Thuchan's TT101 was up and running before mine. Otherwise, I would not have been "thinking hard" about sending my own TT101 to Ger... | |

| Has Anyone Heard the (fairly) New Technics Grand Class TT? My internet research suggests that Technics marketing is confusing, as per usual with this product. The 1200GAE was the first of the Grand Class turntables to come to market. It has all the bells and whistles and was supposedly "limited edition". ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chak, I am not sure what you are saying above, but in any case, my TT101 never went to Germany. In fact, Thuchan did not buy his TT101 until well after mine had been repaired by JP. Bill Thalmann had a shot at repairing mine, but it would not mi... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chak, Your symptom sounds a bit different from mine, although maybe close enough to have the same cause. As I wrote somewhere here, my TT101 would start up fine and go to correct speed, but it would very soon thereafter start to "hunt"; the tach ... | |
| How many LP's It may be true that most of us listen to about 100 different LPs in rotation, no matter how many LPs each of us owns, but I posit that in order to develop that 100-LP rotation, you need to own at least 1000 or more. More is better. This makes it ... | |
| Most aesthetic classic turntable Kenwood L07D, for its style, quality, unity and consistency of design philosophy, and success in achieving its goals. | |
| AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue Can you say why you are dissatisfied with the Wave Mechanic? I have never used it, but I did use the Walker Audio PMC with my Notts Hyperspace, and the improvement over no outboard AC supply was "huge". But nowadays there are many other choices,... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms Dear Nandric, Should I dip it in only the finest olive oil from Don Corleone? I am loathe to disassemble precision devices that I may not be able to re-assemble properly. In other words, my inclination is to let well enough alone. I went throug... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms I am using 231.5, because I took a cue from The Tonearm, several years ago. I even aligned it with the UNItractor, the official protractor of The Tonearm, also known to me privately as the Super Dennesen. Using the FR64S template in the UNI, als... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms Genesis, I am using mine with a lightweight, non-FR, headshell, on which is mounted an Acutex LPM 320STR cartridge. I was prepared not to like this combination or to have a problem with bass response, at the very least, but I find that I do like i... | |
| Binge sessions I own two entirely separate systems fed by a total of five turntables, each with a different tonearm and cartridge. So I binge on listening to one system with one turntable/tonearm/cartridge for weeks on end, and then on another. But it's all vi... | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE I should add that I have a pair of amplifiers (not my Atma-sphere amplifiers), where the chassis is one and the same with audio ground. Every audio ground, everywhere, is connected to the chassis. Thus it was impossible to separate the two without... | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE Whart, It seems to me that your problem can be solved by the tweak that Ralph recommended further up the thread. Where Lamm has re-installed the connection between the PCB audio circuit ground and the chassis, place a 10- to 100-ohm resistor, or ... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms Thank you for that input, Raul.And thanks for your response too, Nandric.I don't have the FR64S owners manual. So I assumed that the lateral weight had to stay mounted on its post; I therefore have shoved it up against the pivot as far as it will... |
