| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks, RW. So maybe SP20 is a black version of the original SP10.Peter, On your system page, I see the SP10 Mk3 in a beautiful wood plinth reminiscent of Albert Porter's plinths. Is that your new one or is that an older photo?How's it going with... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chakster, I had never heard of an SP20 before your post. My Googling shows a photo of something that looks like a black SP10. No outboard PS is shown in the photo, but that wouldn't necessarily mean that none was ever supplied. Does yours have ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chakster, You could say I did that experiment. I own one of each and have heard both on SP10 turntables. The SAEC is very good, but I give a slight edge to the BA Mat2. (So someone is wondering why I am looking for a Mat2, when I already own on... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Fleib, Sounds like you've had far too much coffee already. Try decaf. | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. Slaw, Are you talking about your one-sentence question regarding best price on an ART9? And lack of response to your off-topic question causes you to believe other respondents to the OP are snobs? I would instead conclude that (1) no one here ma... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Acman, It seems JP has deferred to me. I am still interested in your Mat2. Please do contact me, as I cannot figure out how to PM you.Thanks. | |
| Tonearm recommendation Fleib, Since this IS a hobby, and since Raul has never changed his attitude and shouldn't be expected to, at this point, why get angry? Raul es Raul. I would like to hear Raul's response. Seems to me, if you increase P2S while maintaining the lo... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul, Suppose I did want to use Baerwald (for one example) with my DV505. You've implied here that it can be done by changing the P2S distance from the factory-recommended value. Does this maneuver end up with the cartridge/cantilever in alignm... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? All OEM electrolytics in all vintage audio electronics should go, IMO. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? RW, I don't know about those Alibaba sources for an MN6042, but it seems to me that if you need MN6042 these days, it's a no-brainer to connect with JP and purchase his reconstruction of an MN6042 on a PCB made from discrete parts. It outperforms... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Acman, In principle, I want your BA Mat2. However, being a computer klutz, I cannot figure out how to contact you from this website. When I click on your moniker, it takes me to a page that does not offer the possibility of sending an email. Furth... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Tim (Pryso), Actually I myself re-capped my SP10 Mk2. And I did not replace diodes or rectifiers, as the Mk2 had no problems ever. (I sold it after purchasing the Mk3.) When I acquired the Mk3, I did turn that over to Bill Thalmann who re-c... | |
| What is David Bowie's turntable? I could see Bowie with a B&O turntable, one with a built-on straight line tonearm, and a B&O system, all in white. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Banquo, I am trying to figure out how to fit the TT101 into either of my two audio systems. The question is complex, because the first thing I want to do is to audition my Fidelity Research FR64S tonearm, for the first time since I bought it seve... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Banquo, If you hear differences in the sound of your analog based on the brand and source of your step-down transformer, THAT would be worth reporting here, provided that the inferior sounding step-down was not in any way malfunctioning. Come to t... |
