| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage Dear Pani, I don't quite get it; if you are very pleased with the Klyne, and if it is tube-like to your ears, why insist on actual tubes in the signal chain? Unless there is some particle of goodness you still feel is missing. In which case, I t... | |
| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage nkj, I’ve got Beveridge 2SWs and two full function preamplifiers that alternatively drive them with phono input most of the time, the Klyne 6LX described above and a vintage Quicksilver tube unit. While I do like the Klyne, lately I have been heav... | |
| I'm happy but I want more, more, more rlawry, Great post. That's exactly what I was trying to get across to the OP. Not that his audio Nirvana will necessarily be the same as yours or mine. | |
| Herron VTPH-2 Without a doubt, the TFK ECC83 is one of the truly great tubes of audio. It transformed my vintage Quicksilver preamplifier, too. I have four of them in my stash since the 1970s. I use one each in the phono and linestages. (The Q uses one half o... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? rw and totem,Last night I removed the screw cap on the bearing housing and inspected the bearing. There is a very tiny dimple, probably about 1-2 millimeter in diameter, in the center of the teflon thrust plate, representing minimal wear after 30... | |

| I'm happy but I want more, more, more I posted earlier, but my post was deleted. It was deemed to be too harsh. Believe me, I did not mean it that way, if you by chance did read it. In fact, my thoughts are and were very parallel to those of Atma-sphere. I can only add one more idea... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Totem et al, I would not be surprised if wear on the thrust plate has everything to do with my problem. Tonight I removed the motor entirely from the chassis. Then with the motor on my workbench, I was indeed able to confirm my hypothesis that p... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Peter,I suppose we should take this discussion of my problem off line, since it IS rather boring to most. However, I am grateful for your interest and your input. The screw-in plug at the base of the bearing well on my unit is very firmly l... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Banquo, In addition to adjusting the screw under the bearing well in order to set platter height, one can also shim the motor up, if the platter is rubbing on the escutcheon. I found on my TT101, in the course of investigating this new noise issue... | |
| Newb question regarding alignment - Should the stylus Physically touch the protractor? "Too easy to bend a stylus." Which is only one good reason to tape the platter so it does not move. Are you saying that the tonearm is constrained from moving, if the platter is immobilized in such a fashion? If the unit is in "play" mode, this... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I just looked at the exploded view parts diagram on p. 28 of the Service Manual. That black cover is not shown as a separate part; it's shown as part of the motor assembly, which is held in place by the 3 screws, parts #69 in the diagram. That t... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks, Peter. I have two questions: (1) Why would this condition have suddenly occurred. Neither I nor anyone else has done anything to that slot-head screw that resides in the bottom of the bearing well, and (2) can you amplify on what part yo... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Problem with TT101 motor noise. Dear brothers of the TT101, My unit was out of use for a few weeks, because our basement was flooded in a minor way during the last torrential rain in DC, and before that I was away at a meeting. Yesterday, I fire... | |
| New Reel to Reel machines! To add to what Raul says, why settle for tapes made from an LP, if the rationale for going to the expense of purchasing an R2R machine is based on sonics? If I were to go that route, I would want only first or second generation master tapes. Or I... |
