| Kenwood L07D antiskating Yep, that's what I finally did. But cranking it up and down to adjust VTA, with the collet "loose", is not at all like what it was with my previous L07D. Ironically, I bought this second one because it was sooooo new looking, quite minty. And sold... | |
| Any Sota Sapphire experts out there? That's surprising, Stringreen. If memory serves, the SOTA Star Sapphire/SME combo was a "classic" one back in the days of both products. But I am sure not arguing with your real world experience to the contrary. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, I think the important point you made by quoting the manual is that my concerns about a heavy mat upsetting the servo are unfounded, up to a point, I am sure. There will be some weight of mat that screws things up, but you can probably get ... | |
| Kenwood L07D antiskating I am going nuts myself with re-mounting the tonearm on my own L07D. I took it out of its mount in order to re-wire it, which never got done either. Having given up on that, when I tried to re-install it, it now seems that the locking mechanism for... | |
| Kenwood L07D antiskating How about now, Dave?I did not know or I forgot you wanted this.Stand by. | |
| Kenwood L07D antiskating I don't think there is any risk to your cartridge. I am concerned that you have a rotating mass, in the form of the platter assembly. If that mass is not perfectly centered with respect to the rollerblocks, then I wonder if there is a tendency for... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Apropos of the recent mention of how the reverse servo works to stop the platter of the TT101, when the "stop" button is engaged, I just noticed that when the platter mat is off the platter, the platter does exhibit a little counter-clockwise move... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thekong, I have put the question to Bill Thalmann, 3 days ago. When he does respond, I will relay the information. I am pretty sure the SL1600 was a candidate, but let's wait for confirmation. | |
| Kenwood L07D antiskating Dear In_shore, You are certainly entitled to do what you want, but I would never put Rollerblocks under any turntable. I don't want movement of the chassis in the horizontal plane. | |
| Kenwood L07D antiskating The anti-skate weight is not a simple weight on a thread, as in most tonearms that use such an AS device; it has a weight on one end of a nylon thread, and on the other end is a cylinder with a hole on one end that has to engage a tiny post locate... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, Luckily for me, I have two systems, one of which is on the same floor as our kitchen, if it should come to that. So push come to shove, I can as well use the TT101 in my "upstairs" listening room. But I really do not think there is anythin... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? From the site referenced by Halcro:..."The engineer quickly responded that the motor was the toughest challenge, which led to another series of discussions resulting in the design we see here in the Classic Direct, where the platter is actually th... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Only Thuchan would luck into a PS-X9 in what appears to be mint condition. Damn him!!! (Kidding of course.) | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? "Witchcraft", written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer, is absolutely one of my favorite songs from the Great American songbook. But no one is running her fingers through my hair when I contemplate the TT101. Nor does the TT101 give me a "sly com... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? On the subject of "are we living dangerously", I would like to report to anyone who followed my travail with the TT101 on the "other" thread, where it was OT, that after my TT101 ran reliably for more than a week on our kitchen counter, I decided ... |
