| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I don't recall that anyone ever mentioned the 4000D/I, but why not look it up in Vinyl Engine or on an Empire website to determine how it may differ from D/III? Often the early versions of the better cartridges are also very good. On the D/III, th... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine But Syntax, is the Kuzma constantly too fast by a fixed amount while playing LPs, that is, regardless of stylus drag? If so, that is a fault remediable by an appropriate motor controller and not a black mark against the Kuzma.Tony, I just cannot a... | |
| Phono stage good for classical and jazz? If you can find one in good shape, I can highly recommend a vintage Quicksilver full-function preamplifier. The phono stage has sufficient gain only for high output cartridges (2 to 5mV), but the performance is top drawer. They can be found for $9... | |
| Allnic family I actually communicated with Mr Park directly regarding a Silvaweld phono stage. Before there was Allnic, Mr Park was the brains behind Silvaweld, where he designed and produced many excellent products in the late 90s/early 2000s. Despite the fact... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine I would argue with Tony on different grounds. I think you CAN know if drift is due to "speed being something other than 33.33 exactly or if it is changing during play." At least you can know it to the accuracy of the frequency of the laser flashes... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Not to beat a dead horse, but if one were to measure precisely the left or right movement of the laser spot over time with no stylus drag and then do the same thing in the presence of stylus drag, one could in fact establish that the tt is capable... | |
| Denon dl103 low volume from sa3000 Skipper,The circuitry in your phono stage is running at whatever voltage and current levels it can be excited to run at, based on the input it is receiving from the cartridge. The phono stage does not "know" or care where you set your volume contr... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Dover, My apologies. I probably sounded more indignant than I actually am or was. Perhaps lifting the paragraphs word for word (I knew they sounded familiar) with no attribution is not.... something. But this is the internet, all junk food all the... | |
| Melos MA220 tube phono stage I have never seen a Melos preamp. I am not sure what you've got. Is it a phono-only stage or a full-function preamp, which would have a built in linestage section? The way to know that is to look at the rear of the unit. Do you see multiple pairs ... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks Fortunately for me (i) I was careful to pay only the value of the 7045 tonearm and plinth, when I bought the QL10 ensemble. So if I never fix the TT101, I am out only the cost of the service, and (ii) I have a Denon DP80, Kenwood L07D, and Technic... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine In agreement with Dover: Not only would one have to adjust the controller for each LP, but one would also have to leap out of one's seat to adjust the controller during highly modulated groove passages and then again when the music has smoothed ou... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks I am kind of regretting sending off my TT101, because I feel like I could have figured it out. And Bill would have been glad to help. He still does not even know that I've had problems since its second visit to his shop. He didn't even charge me t... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks I was afraid someone would ask. I described this once before.Here is what it does, in my house. (It did not do this in Bill Thalmann's shop, last time I picked it up there; it worked perfectly.) When you start it up at either 33 or 45, it gets up ... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... Another design point in favor of the Trans-fi. (Once again I hasten to add that I have not auditioned any LT in my system.)Hiho, I did Google the TT2. To the uninitiated (i.e., me) it could still be confused as a modification on the Souther, but I... | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks Aigenga, I have some of that Redline Racing oil. It was recommended by Howard G Stern for use in the Kenwood L07D bearing. (Howard is the L07D guru and keeper of the L07D website, not the radio jerk.) Thanks to all for your suggestions. At the mom... |
