| 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 ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hiho, I do agree with you; no plinth can totally take away the coloration of the Mk2, but a good plinth can take away other colorations and leave one with only that and less of the other. Which is why I think the gray-ness was so evident in my pre... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? In this discussion of those horrible SP10 Mk2 and Mk3 turntables, let me point out, as I did to Richard privately, that there is a world of difference between Mk2 and Mk3. I think I can say that with some authority, as I have owned both, in simila... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Wow! I am overwhelmed. But nowhere in your many quotations do I see the words "eddy current", so is it fair to guess that you agree with me? Also, and I have no dog in this fight, nor is it a fight, I had been led to believe from my own internet r... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Timeltel, You wrote, "the 71 lacks the reverse eddy current braking both the 81 and 101 implement in regulating overshoot incurred when correcting for speed". According to everything I have read and observed, that is not correct at least for ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, That's great news about your TT101, and it is useful to know yours was malfunctioning due to bad power switch. Can you describe again the symptom that it exhibited before repair? Bill Thalmann often wondered whether the switch on mine was ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thekong,Truthfully, it has now been so long since I heard the Lenco and either the L07D or the Mk3 in the same system, that I have no basis to compare, but I do have to say that I don't sense any smearing with my Lenco. For the past several months... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Hiho,Nice research. Somehow, somewhere I came away with the belief that at least the TT81 motor is coreless. Don't know anything about TT71. But I agree with you that the photo seen when I click on "picture" does suggest that the motor has visible... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine On topic: The well seems to have gone dry as regards posting of Timeline results on this thread. Given the many months of its existence, one would have thought there would be more videos by now. When I finalize the modifications I am making to the... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thank you, Thekong, for one of the most informative posts on this thread. I had no idea that you had such a depth of experience with the tt's we've been discussing. I have a question. You wrote above, "However, in areas such as background blacknes... | |
| Need Advice Sota Sapphire III + SME IV arm I owned a Star Sapphire Series III w vacuum for many years in the 90s. If you keep it (and I too would never trade it for Rega), you might consult SOTA to not only repair or replace the lip on the platter but more importantly in my opinion to upgr... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable And in what ways does would it sonically resemble a slate-based Lenco? For all I know you may be correct, but what is the basis for your comparison between these two? One is slate, the other machined brass and steel or alu. One drives the platter ... | |
