| progress? Since the turntable is not directly responsible for tracking, it would be helpful to know what tonearm(s) and cartridge(s) you are talking about. For one thing, typical modern MC cartridges often do not track as well as the old war-horse MM cartri... | |
| intermitant phono tube cut out? Mechans apparently knows much more about 5751 variants than I do. I would take his advice.Do I understand correctly now that Modwright is not the source of your idea to sub a 12AU7 for the 12AX7? It makes sense that this is so, because the idea of... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply Chris, Is there such a thing as a discrete "60 Hz" winding on the Garrard 301 motor? Did not know that.Farancon, What is your definition of a "power stabilizer"? Are you talking about an AC line filter, or an AC regenerator, or what? Thanks. There... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Thanks for the input on the MMC1. Actually I thought you had earlier agreed with me that the P-mount adapter was not much to brag about. Perhaps you were referring to the generic ones that are used for other P-mount cartridges. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sorry, Ecir. I did not realize you were building an outboard arm pod to match the height of your plinth. My guess is you need pretty exact data for that OR a height-adjustable arm pod. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ecir, My posts are not being blocked from this thread, or so it seems. This one will serve as a test. I will be happy to measure my TT101 for you, when I get it back from servicing. Meantime, you might try to download either the owners manual or t... | |
| High quality AC turntable motor Mosin, "Cogging like there's no tomorrow". Is that like "Party-ing til it's 1999"? Or something like that per Prince's song? Do you know what's become of Colby? His email is no longer valid.To others, As I think Mark Kelly himself pointed out alre... | |
| Has anyone else heard the Walker BD V? And the one I heard, about 10 years ago in the home of my neighbor, with Lloyd himself presiding, cost around $40,000 at that time. That was before the carbon fiber stuff got added, I think. In the beginning, it was a highly tweaked Mapleknoll. Th... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm None or nearly none of the companies that market "wires" actually make any of their wires. They buy wire from foundries. After that, it's a matter of solid core vs stranded vs Litz, grounding, shielding, single-ended vs balanced connection, silver... | |
| Has anyone else heard the Walker BD V? To the uninitiated, what are the updates to footers and record clamp (of all things) that could effect a "huge leap forward"? I have heard the BD turntable in someone else's system, and I certainly agree it is among the best, probably THE best, in... | |
| intermitant phono tube cut out? Just a comment: I think I understand you to have stated that Modwright gives permission to replace a 12AX7 with a 12AU7, to "tone down the gain". While such a substitution would surely have that effect, the characteristics of those two tube types ... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Henry, The particular FM station I tuned into plays classical music only. At that time of night, they have a female disc jockey who has been doing the late shows for decades. I have heard her voice on many many different speakers and in many diffe... | |
| Question on FR 66s Thanks, John. As it happens, I own both an original metal Dennesen and a UNI. I tend to use the Dennesen only to set P2S. (I mark the desired distance on a piece of white paper and then set up the Dennesen so its pointy end is on one mark and the ... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Although I tend to take a purist approach to audio. (No tone controls, minimal switches and connectors, etc, etc.) I have lately come to believe that some of these gospel truths can be occasionally violated with no important negative consequences.... | |
| Question on FR 66s John, Is it not the case that for your statement that the P2S is irrelevant for the Dennesen or the UNI to be true, the cartridge must be aligned (ideally) perfectly with the long axis of the headshell. If the cartridge is "twisted" inward or outw... |
