| 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 ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Keep in mind, Dover didn't like it much, apparently. | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thekong, The OEM Kenwood phono ICs are terminated on the tonearm side with a plug that in its design resembles the standard DIN, but the female receptors are each about 2-3 mm in diameter, as compared to a standard DIN plug, where they are about 1... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable As regards one's subjective impression of the L07D, some have also observed that there is substantial benefit to be had by installing some shielding between the motor and the LP. I am one of those. In addition, an Achilles' heel of the design (but... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable I have no direct experience with TT Weights tt's, and therefore no opinion on the matter, but there are 2 or 3 owners who have complained repeatedly on this forum about speed instability problems. We are not seeing such reports from owners of the ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Kind of a moot point, since the Final Audio is no longer available, the Mk3 has gotten very expensive, and the L07D is rare to find. Plus the latter two are now very old and typically have maintenance issues. Meantime, the Salvation is available a... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Yep. I guess my posts on the vicissitudes of the TT101 belong in the "Living Dangerously" thread. |
