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? 
VPI Ceramic Platter
I would think that having a perfectly round platter (and a perfectly centered spindle) is just as important for belt-drive as it is for rim-drive. In both cases, the driving force is delivered to the circumference of the platter; if the platter is... 
Hartvig TT signature vs TW Black Knight
Dream, At this level of cost, fussiness, and audiophilia, the mere fact that the battery may last only 3 years should be the least of your concerns. How much could it cost to replace the battery, as against the cost of this or the other turntable,... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
I guess the Superplatter really was not "Super". 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
Dear Henry, I didn't yet, which is why you haven't yet. No excuses for me. 
How do you tame a Denon DL-S1?
What is your question? Are you hoping to find someone else who uses the exact same three components? If not, that combination should "work". Obviously you need to set your phono stage for 70 db gain. Then try different load impedances until you ge... 
VPI Ceramic Platter
I am surprised that no one took up String's casual comment that his "superplatter" (Have I got that right?) was not perfectly round. Of course, replacing such a defective platter with almost any platter that is closer to tolerance should result in... 
To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges
I have 3 turntables up and "running" at all times and own 5 total, if you count the broken TT101 I just bought. I use a highly modified Lenco for MM cartridges and the two others for various low output cartridges. The Lenco set-up feeds a tube MM ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nandric, That is "bullshit". Do you think the huge financial concerns that caused the 2008 collapse are either American OR European? They don't. They act only in their own self interest, and they have no nationality whatever. You need to learn mor... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
The simple truth is that none of you exist. I am imagining all of this; it's all taking place in my mind, only.AHEE and "distortions" are Raul's indirect way of saying that the only truth is his truth, painfully arrived at. We can all agree that t... 
Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927?
Dear Raul,Better English is "Who was it who..." Who is in the subjective case. "Whom" is the objective form and cannot be the subject of a sentence. I think in Spanish, "quien" is both subjective and objective. Your error is understandable.So, if ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Sorry if I misunderstood you, or, as Andre' Gide said, Sorry if I "understood you too quickly". Good to know you are concerned about the American economy. It saves me the trouble. I have my own FR64S, by the way, purchased from Switzerland. They d... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nandric, You are conflating the National Debt with the Balance of Payments. These are two entirely different things. Actually, neither is affected by private sales that cross national boundaries.
