| Cartridge No replacement styli for ADC XLM? I doubt it. Why not do a SoundSmith rebuild on the original stylus assembly, if you don't like the available aftermarket styli? | |
| Replacing my old soda Sapphire: which clearaudio Dear Elegal, As Manitunc states also, no. The outboard PS in no way mitigates any effect of having the motor mounted onboard with the suspended mass. Your older SOTA (depends on how old) is likely to have the other problem: motor mounted on the un... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Henry, OT, but it's your thread and you own a TT101: I have had no problem finding oodles of correct NOS ICs to replace the clock IC in the TT101. I am going to buy several from a vendor in China, in case my TT101 is in need. Bill Thalmann says th... | |
| Replacing my old soda Sapphire: which clearaudio The suspension system needs to be damped, else the chassis will continue to bounce up and down well after the inciting force has passed. The designer also needs to tune the suspension so as to filter out frequencies around a certain set point. The... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Dear Henry, Perhaps I was thinking of the lyric from "I've grown accustomed to her face", Henry Higgins' lament from My Fair Lady: "Her joys, her woesHer highs, her lowsAre second nature to me nowLike breathing out and breathing inI was serenely i... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply Mark, Sorry to have let the cat out of the bag, as it were. There was no intent on my part to embarrass you in any way. In fact, I admire you for not going ahead with the SS controller, if you had doubts about its long term reliability. | |
| Replacing my old soda Sapphire: which clearaudio Except that Manitunc does not mention the negative aspects of the spring suspension on the SOTA. This is one of the age-old controversies among vinylphiles. There are inherent advantages and disadvantages to both unsprung and sprung designs. This ... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges Is this thread about the joys and woes of owning multiple turntables, or is it about justifying one's decision to own multiple turntables? The latter topic is a bore. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Debating about whether to keep the MMC1, because I have so many others I like as well. Therefore, I have not put mine into service, so that if and when I sell it I can still honestly say it is NOS. My reservations also have something to... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply P300s and later versions are still readily available. I've never played with one, but I think someone told me that the frequency adjustment is only a few Hz up and down from a center frequency of 60Hz, so it may not get down to 50Hz. But this is h... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply Dear Steve (Vetterone) thanks for the enlightenment. As a Lenco owner and user, I had heard the scuttlebutt around 50Hz for the Garrard, but never from an authoritative source such as yourself. The Lenco motor has no such idiosyncracy, to my knowl... | |
| intermitant phono tube cut out? My guess: Bad tube socket. Jiggle the offending tube, when it cuts out, or if swapping tubes between channels leaves the problem in the same channel, that is consistent with intermittent contact in that tube socket. But this is a guessing game. Th... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply Those two will work with any single phase motor. They will "work" with other AC motors, also, but not as well as a dedicated 2- or 3-phase controller.I am trying to get a response from Mark on the KT88 based controller, price and ETA. Do you know ... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply First of all, the turntable will "work" without any antecedent power regenerator. So why not enjoy your Garrard while you continue your search for one? Second, I have a hunch you are one of those who were waiting for a Mark Kelly supply, like me. ... | |
| Custom Plinth for an older Sota Sapphire Stainless steel is VERY hard material and difficult for most machinists to work with. My major question would be "why?" What is so great about stainless steel in this application? |
