| Technics Sp-10 platter screws My impression would be that the screw shown in the photo is definitely not an original. Photos of the original can be found on the Soundfountain website, or simply by Googling "SP10 Mk2 platter screws". The screw shown would probably require a w... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond If we could have a rational discussion of "damping", I would like to comment on Raul's long post covering that subject. There is more than one way to skin the cat (with apologies to Flier's cat). Besides damping spurious resonances one can also ... | |
| Technics Sp-10 platter screws Peter, Before reading your post, I would have agreed with JP, but the sum total of my personal experience with the Mk2 is equal to 2 samples (one each of a Mk2 and a Mk2A). Neither had washers under the platter screws, unless you are using the te... | |
| Confused along the journey--opinions please Your turntable is fine.Your cartridge is excellent. You won't find an MC in that price range that can compete with it.You observed that you like the Manley Chinook better than the other choices before you, so it seems self-evident that you might ... | |
| Introducing my 2.2 Stereo If you want to critique your home system, why not invite some music-loving friends over for a listen, preferably some who also are audiophiles. Let them listen for a few hours, and then ask your questions. You might also consider visiting the ho... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I now realize that you guys may be referring to the area UNDER the platter. Yes, mine is painted in that area. Only the exposed outer rim of the circular escutcheon is brushed alu or chrome or whatever.I remember going to visit Julius Futterman,... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Congratulations, JP. Perhaps having my TT101 in your shop had something to do with your pursuing the new purchase. So far as I can tell, the finish on your escutcheon (the decorative rim that shows above the plinth and bears the switch panel) is... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Halcro, I loved your observation about vintage MM and some (not all) vintage MC cartridges vs modern LOMC cartridges. It was bang on the money. Last night I was listening to my SS re-tipped Grace Ruby, about a $600 total investment, and wonderin... | |
| Vintage MONO Cartridge Question ? In theory, the noise generated by vertical motion of the stylus in a mono cartridge is cancelled by adding the positive and negative signals from each channel, in a mono cartridge that was created from a stereo cartridge. As I think Fleib is tryi... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Now I am getting angry. The second of my last two posts has also been removed, and I received yet another warning email. The email states that the criteria for censoring a post are as follows:"Content may be removed for one or more of these reas... | |
| Vintage MONO Cartridge Question ? I don't think anyone would argue with you that using a mono cartridge to play a mono LP is superior to using a stereo cartridge to pay a mono LP. And no one would argue with you about WHY this is true. I also agree with you in principle that I... | |
| Vintage MONO Cartridge Question ? Cleeds, I don't agree with your gross generalization, but that's beside the point. The OP seems to want a true mono cartridge, and most of those are going to be "vintage" by definition. It might be more constructive to direct him to consider one... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Flieb, What I read, on the website of a dealer who can hardly be said to be unbiased, is that aluminum was chosen for the cantilever, because its resonances are higher (not "lower") in frequency, above the audible spectrum, compared to boron, etc.... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? Dear mmporsche, I think the AF Lenco is one of several good choices available, and it is not crazy expensive, either. Good decision. I own a highly tweaked Lenco L75 myself, so of course I would approve. So it sounds like you've got both "ends"... | |
| Can I convert stereo to mono for a phono input Peter, Sorry for being so pedantic and possibly condescending. I am sure you know what's up much better than I do, since you've got the stuff in front of you. I speak as someone who endured for several years an evident channel imbalance (L>R)... |
