| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I'm still laughing from Syntax's post. | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable "Old Reliable" is more likely my moniker, not "Hot Reliable". Thanks for your complete response, Theophile. One thing about the GT2000 is that if you are willing to pay the going price (seems to be $2400 to $2700) for a really nice one, you can... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate Norman, With all due respect to the venerable AR turntable, could it be that bearing friction is causing some AS force? (I owned one myself, of course, back in the 70s when I first got interested in "hi-fi".) My Triplanar sounds obviously distor... | |
| Aurorasound Vida LCR Phono I was sorely tempted to buy one of these when we were in Tokyo last fall. I only resisted because I already own 4-5 phono stages. They are on display at several dealers in Akihabara, but I did not get to audition one. I too was predisposed to t... | |

| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable Damned autocorrect: In my last post, the last sentence, "(If it was never done, those lyrics are now ~36 years old, definitely hot reliable.) Consider it preventive maintenance, and if you do need a new chip, I can get you one." I typed "lytics", ... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate This discussion comes and goes on every analog forum. Stringreen has not changed his opinion, which is his right. But I have to agree with cleeds; the skating force does exist for every pivoted tonearm, whether we like it or not. I don't have a... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 Turntable bimasta, My DP80 was not working quite up to snuff when I bought it. So first of all, I assumed that the single chip that runs the turntable was not working normally, and I WAS able to find it from any of several vendors in the Far East. In fac... | |
| 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... |
