| Replacement for loricraft power supply Chris, I would not have counted the capacity to take different input AC voltages and frequencies as a difference in the motor per se. But I surely agree that those variations are said to exist. | |
| How to measure tonearm effective mass James, This is/was a thread about tonearm effective mass. I think you want to post on the thread about "Garrard" motor controllers. It's possible that Mark intends to sell his Garrard/Lenco controller. | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply Actually, there are no variations on the Lenco L75 motor that I know about, but I could be wrong. Perhaps other Lenco tt's (other than the L75) would use different motors as a matter of course. I look forward to receiving my Kelly controller in th... | |
| Brinkmann Lagrange or Kuzma Stabi M Wouldn't the Kuzma Reference be on a similar plateau with LaGrange? LaGrange should trump the Stabi M, but I've never heard either. | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Dreadhead, There are two parts to your "complaint": price and your certainty that direct-drive is inferior to belt-drive. As to price, it is your decision, not to spend $30,000. I wouldn't either. As to the mechanism of direct-drive operation, you... | |
| just an observation for comment IMO, in the end it's all about the quality of the original recording and transfer processes in the first instance. Nothing that comes after that can repair damage done at the origin of the recording. Thus, a re-issue of a sonically great LP will t... | |
| Can good IC's be used instead of dedicated phono's Salectric, It doesn't "figure". The gauge of the wire might make a difference, since any resistance in the ground wire would potentially allow the component to "float" at some tiny voltage above ground, which could potentiate hum, but otherwise, I... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Hilarious. Brilliant. Pointless. | |
| Can good IC's be used instead of dedicated phono's Al, But I would guess that the capacitance would be even lower if there were no shield. Which was my point, altho I probably should have been more explicit. Geometry is the major determinant of the IC capacitance, but shielding adds to it. I think... | |
| Can good IC's be used instead of dedicated phono's You can use any cable at all for starters. Then work backward. If you have noise with an unshielded cable, then you need a shield. If you have hum, you need to play with grounding. If you have high frequency loss or gain, you need to play with cap... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation/ Advice It's possible that you are not getting a response due to the fact that no one knows anything about the two phono stages you want to choose between. Perhaps if you left your question open-ended, e.g., what phono stage goes with my system, you would... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable The DD version probably is not 5-6 times "better" than the Classic 3. No one expects a linear relationship between cost and performance, I hope. Also, the fact that the two products look somewhat alike in photos is not necessarily meaningful. The ... | |
| SP-10 Mat Td, That's the first I have ever heard of a Boston Audio Mat being warped. Both my Mat1 and my Mat2 appear to the eye to be perfectly flat, and certainly there is no tell-tale sign of warpage when they are spinning. I trust your judgement, but be ... | |
| SP-10 Mat Chris, Have you considered that part of the possible benefit you perceive from copper or copper-containing mats is related to shielding of the cartridge from EMI radiated by the motor? I doubt this is much of an issue for the Mk3, with its massive... |
