| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hiho, Without a doubt, tt's with outboard arm pods can sound great. Especially if the arm pod is very massive, like Henry's appear to be. We're just arguing hypotheticals. But the nice thing about "hypotheses" is that if you go by a valid one, the... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I don't know where the subject of a sub chassis came up in this discussion. Whatever you want to put under your tt should affect the tonearm and bearing/platter equally and simultaneously, is all I say. Yes, if you bolt the outboard pod to a shelf... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Henry, Just for the record, I stated long ago that while I would agree with the hypothetical aspects of Richard's analysis, I do not and did not think your pods were in fact being moved by stylus drag, but like you say, it is a question open to ex... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Henry, Come back to me with actual numbers to describe the possible change in mounting distance, given what you perceive to be the problem. My listening room varies in ambient temp by about 4 F degrees, from 68 to 72. According to my calculation, ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Moonglum, No, I have not tried it, yet.Halcro et al, I only re-stated the case for a rigid connection between tonearm and bearing for the benefit of anyone who is reading this thread for the first time. Such an individual (Thuchan in this case) ou... | |
| Why so few balanced phono inputs? 2 things:If you choose to replace an RCA male plug with an XLR, the convention is that the hot wire into the RCA plug should go to pin2 of the XLR. The "other" signal-carrying wire goes to pin3. Ground and only ground attaches to pin1. But as John... | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Oregon, My mom was an opera singer, and our house was always filled with music, classical and/or operatic, but she did not know much about jazz or the popular singers of her day, such as the ones you listed and more. However, I benefited from her ... | |
| Checking speed 331/3, 45 Sorry. Meant to write "KAB", not "KB". | |
| Checking speed 331/3, 45 Best bang for the buck, IMO, is the KB strobe and disc. It's very important that the strobe is battery operated and thus is not affected by drift of the frequency of your house AC. Furthermore, the KB disc is large in diameter relative to most, wh... | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle OK. I got it. I thought later that you might take my post as a put-down. It was never intended as such, and I do apologize if you felt it was. Lush Life is one of my favorite jazz ballads, if not my absolute favorite. If Sinatra had ever recorded ... | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Dear Gvasale,A search on Google revealed the following quote from Wikipedia and nothing else about Sinatra ever having recorded Lush Life:"On May 25, 1958, Sinatra unsuccessfully attempted to record Billy Strayhorn's ballad "Lush Life". A bootleg ... | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Dear Oregon,Seriously? Andreas Vollenweider? Never heard of that dude.On "Only the Lonely", Sinatra takes about 12 ballads and hits every one of them out of the park. It's an unbelievable display of talent and sensitivity to lyrics. I bought that ... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop I did just that. Unfortunately I had unplugged this particular connector before taking a photo of that part of the PCB. Anyway, I hope Safesphere or some other TT101 owner responds, but if not, I do have the service manual which with some effort c... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop Safesphere and anyone else with a dismantled TT101, The connector in question is nearest to IC810 on the Crystal PC Board Assembly, TDC-7B. This PCB is located under the top circular piece that surrounds the platter. TDC-7B is depicted on page 31 ... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop Safesphere, I am bumping your thread. I did some re-wiring on my TT101 over the weekend, also found a bad electrolytic capacitor on one of the PCBs that are mounted under the top cover. (This was the only original lytic that we failed to replace o... |
