| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Peter, I thought I noticed that not one but several other ICs appeared to be used in the TT101. However, all seemed to be of the same type, based on cursory examination. Is this the one you've now got? How many would hypothetically be needed to ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I heard from one Grace Ruby user who is also apparently a dealer that he has come to the opinion that the CL re-tip is to be preferred over the OCL re-tip, when it comes to SS re-tip choices. His opinion was based on an N=3 of samples, his own Ru... | |
| Class "A" phono cartridge discussion. So I guess this discussion has pretty much fizzled out, if it all comes down to "Needle Doctor". Almost none of the putative "best" cartridges that I have never heard were even mentioned here. However, a collection of subjective judgements such ... | |
| Introducing Edwards Audio Turntables If a vote is being taken, I vote in favor of learning about new products that have recently come to market. In that sense, I disagree with Bpoletti that this thread is unwarranted, even though my taste in turntables runs far afield of MDF plinths ... | |
| Tonearm recommendation I've got a DV501, as well. Up to now I have not auditioned it, because it was not suitable for use with my slate plinths. However, it can be mounted on my TT101 and SP10 Mk3 plinths, and I will give it a try. Dover is not the first to say that t... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Just for semantic reasons, I should have written "EVERYTHING", instead of "ANYTHING", in my comment above. Of course, any one thing made in China could be "crap", but not everything is. | |
| Tonearm recommendation Wrm, I grew up, to age 9, in Woodmont, CT, which is a tiny blue collar suburb of West Haven. I remember my friend's father digging clams on the beach to feed his family and lobstermen catching lobsters only 50 yards off-shore. Those were the day... | |
| Need Klyne Audio SK-2 manual for dip switch set up Have you tried to contact Stan Klyne? He is located in the state of Washington, and I think you can still contact him from the Klyne Audio website. He worked on my 6LX only a few years ago and was very helpful with related information. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Hi Almarg, I was very interested to read your remarks comparing the ART9 to your SS re-tipped Grace Ruby. I use an SS re-tipped Ruby (top of the line OCL stylus) regularly on one of my two systems. What struck me is that your list of the ways in... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Note: "Made in Western Germany". So that step-down transformer is at least 25 years old. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But this is to say that I don't think it's fair to dismiss ANYTHING made in China as "crap". I've got two 117V ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Aigenga, Vibrations and EMI can come from the power transformer more than anything else. It would not be much of a trick to re-mount it outside the chassis on a separate base. And you might be able to do it with the rectifiers and filter capacit... | |
| Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere So, Nyame, are the Level 3 interconnects 50% better than the Level 2's, which you already rated with 5 stars, based, I guess, on cost-effectiveness? As you noted, Level 3 costs 50% more than Level 2, so to be even more cost-effective than Level 2... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Thanks, Raul. Please don't confuse the fact that I own a DV505 with the idea that I believe it to be "the best" of anything. I really think most audio equipment is flawed in one way or another and that it is our job to put pieces together that w... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Golly; I was really typing fast. Should be "affixed", not "a fixed". Should also be "Kenwood", not Kewood. | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul, It would be helpful if I can boil down your idea into one or two simple sentences. Is it your thesis that one should standardize on one and only one geometry, Baerwald, because it offers the lowest average tracking distortion across the LP ... |
