| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? No, SP10 Mk3 is not coreless. It's a massive 24-pole motor. I never heard any "problem" with it, but it definitely sounds more coherent, musical, or smooth (pick your adjective) after having undergone the Krebs mod, which is directed at the tende... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, I am not sure what you are reporting. Do you perceive that your TT81 outperforms the TT101, compared even to how the TT101 sounded before the power outage? Or are you saying that this observation is in relation to how the TT101 performed ... | |
| Feedback through turntable CT0517, I have no dog in this fight, which is to say I am only guessing that the problem IS airborne. I certainly could be wrong, since my opinion is based only on the paragraph submitted by the OP. But can you say why you think the problem IS N... | |
| Feedback through turntable Totem, You wrote, "Start with implementing room treatments rather thanapplying this or that band-aid." Isn't there an internal contradiction in that sentence? Some would classify room treatments as a bandaid. Not that there's anything wrong with... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Thanks, Noble. I did find the Romeyn website for the Debra, by searching on "Audiokinesis Debra", oddly. As you note, they are similar in price and very similar in composition. So this begs the question, why are two different and so similar produ... | |
| Feedback through turntable No cover. The cover itself will resonate, if the issue is airborne, and could make matters much worse. As a general rule of thumb, I would never ever use a cover during play. The stylus/LP interaction itself elicits vibrations that are best dis... | |
| Mono questions Odd. I wonder why I have original Capitol issues of "Something Cool" with June Christy, both the mono and stereo versions. It takes 5 minutes of listening to know that these are two entirely different recording sessions. She doesn't even attempt... | |
| Feedback through turntable I am not sure I agree with all the discussion about what is and is not a good isolator, BUT in this case I think the problem is air-borne vibration, not mechanical from a shaky floor up through the stand and the shelf. | |
| Mono questions Folkfreak is correct in noting that back in the early 60s, studios frequently staged two sessions, in one of which they recorded in mono and in the other, in stereo. In those cases, the two recordings can never sound exactly the same. But I don’t ... | |
| $5,000 to spend for analog front end - advice please...:) For $3K to $4K and with some patience, you can find a Kenwood L07D in very good shape. That will include its tonearm (L07J) and a state of the art plinth (despite the fact that the L07D was built in the early 80s.) Assuming the previous owner perf... | |
| Feedback through turntable Just by bad luck, your turntable may be sitting in an energy hotspot, despite your best efforts to avoid feedback. Sometimes moving the turntable a few feet from where it is sitting will make the difference. Trial and error. Re-positioning the ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Tim (Noble100)We are on the same page. However, I would be doing it for the gain in bass definition and overall frequency balance, more than to relieve my primary amplifiers of any stress. The 845PX's normally use a 6db/octave passive crossover ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? I've resisted using a subwoofer (or really a woofer based system, not really a "subwoofer" per se) with my Sound Lab 845PX speakers for several years. The reasons for my recalcitrance are as follows:(1) I've never met an electronic crossover that... | |
| Is a low output MC superior in sound quality to a high output MC?? Sunny, Many others put $5000 cartridges on $5000 turntables, so I don't know why you would hesitate to try the Otello on the UTurn. It's a bit odd to me in fact that many people seem more willing to pay thousands for a cartridge than for a turnta... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience Montesquieu, First impressions are not always lasting ones. Especially with a phono cartridge that is itself changing character as it breaks in from new. I would be interested to know whether your opinion of the Madake vs the Kansui persists ove... |
