| Anti skate. I think something's wrong I suspect that there is always a tiny amount of tracking error and a tiny amount of skating force and that both are so small in magnitude and so relatively constant across the LP surface that these two qualities (small and constant, compared to a ... | |
| turntable speed control Melm wrote, "...belt drives (which may measure worse in some respects) sound better." This is so so wrong and short-sighted. Yet, CLeeds agrees with him. Well designed and implemented turntables of any kind sound better than those that are not w... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Flieb, Thanks for saying exactly the same thing that I said in fewer words and without the physics lesson. If my point(s) were moot, your points are moot-er. I realize that an experienced person such as yourself would have the facts well in hand... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong Peter Lederman probably has forgotten more about vinyl set-up than I will ever know, but I do have to disagree with him on one small point; the genesis of the skating force begins with the fact that 95% of tonearms are mounted so as to have the st... | |
| Anti skate. I think something's wrong I guess we shouldn't post any longer to this thread, because Inna is bored, but I was rather surprised to read that go4vinyl and Raul suggest the problem of unequal gain in one channel vs the other could be due to azimuth maladjustment. In fact (... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? It's just how things go in the collector market. Apparently, 2000Xs are right now highly desired in Asia. If you really can buy a Mk3 for $5K on Yahoo Japan, you might grab it; they are worth a lot more, up to twice that much, in the US. Many/m... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? So that brace is an option that would seem to fit both the GT2000 and the GT2000X. I am sure it would help to reduce or eliminate colorations I associate with MDF plinths. I'd consider it a sine qua non; I'd buy the reproduction, which is beauti... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Henry, I don't think your premise, in the above question, is necessarily correct. GT2000s are not that expensive in Tokyo. I don't know how the values compare to that of a TT101, but it's probably very close. In my opinion, both products are "sl... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Totem, I will let JP comment if he sees fit, but "Bi-directional servo" was apparently mostly a marketing gimmick, used by both Victor and Yamaha. The servo on the TT101 was well designed, according to JP, but really not different from or any more... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? After two weeks or so with my functioning TT101, I would say that the TT101 is right up there with the best of them, and I do own two of the best of them (SP10 Mk3 and Kenwood L07D) for comparison. Arguably, the Denon DP80 would be a third, but I... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I guess I am guilty of being a frequent advocate of replacing electrolytics in vintage DD turntables, meaning electrolytics that are typically at least 30 years old. My main reasons for that are (1) it's cheap insurance against a future failure, a... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Perhaps you are like me; as I have aged, I am less and less inclined to DIY or Do-It-MYself, except when it comes to the actual electronics. I still enjoy messing about in a tube circuit. I look at the 3 slate plinths I had made for Lenco, Denon... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Richard, What interests me most is WHY did you decide to make an entirely new platter for the Mk3? And what are the consequences to how it works associated with incorporating one half of a speed sensor device into the platter? (What's a "toothed... | |
| Questionable service at Soundsmith Rather than to conclude that they did a one-hour rush job on your cartridge after you finally got through to them with your complaint, I am more inclined to believe that your cartridge may have been rebuilt months ago and then stuck on a shelf som... | |
| OK...I've ditched my mono cartridge I have done quite a bit of research and thinking on this subject. Before you can dismiss mono cartridges as a class, I think you have to consider how the particular mono cartridge(s) you are evaluating was constructed. Only a few were constructed... |
