| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer I thought each PHT contained a crystal of some kind or another. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I use slate combined with cherrywood in two layers, for my Technics SP10 mk3. I listened to it befor and after adding the cherrywood base. It seemed a touch better after cherrywood was added. Pindac, hoe did you assign a numerical value to dampin... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? Maybe because designing and especially building a SUT is a vastly different enterprise from designing and building an MC cartridge for a small company like MSL. You’ll notice that among cartridge makers only the big guys also make SUTs, like Denon... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Fsonic, My own Lenco is mounted in a 50mm slab of PA slate. However, it also benefits from a PTP top plate, a hefty after market bearing, a platter that has been painted with vibration reducing black paint, speed that is regulated by the Phoenix E... | |
| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer I still wonder how they could have any effect at all, of any kind, except by perhaps changing the resonant frequency of the headshell/cartridge, and even that is a stretch of my imagination. But I have not tried one so I won't go any more negative... | |
| How to modify a for sale listing Didn’t see it because was on my cell phone with poor visibility. Now I am at my computer and do see it. Thanks. On my cell and on my computer, the bottom of every page is obstructed with an ad superimposed on the tiny icon for "contact us". But no... | |
| Inflation being tracked in the UK with vinyl records Conspiracy theories are in conflict. Causes of inflation are very complex but cost of vinyl certainly is not a metric. In the US, costs of food, housing, and energy most certainly are used to calculate the inflation rate. https://www.brookings.ed... | |
| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... Nice but price is a bit stiff unless both are mint and table is thoroughly refurbished, IMO. | |
| How to modify a for sale listing Thanks to you both. Perhaps I’m an impatient searcher, but I did not find “contact us”, and when I accessed my ad via my personal dashboard, after declining an offer, there was/is no button for modifying the ad copy, and there is a statement that ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I have 3 TT s in PA slate and am very pleased with performance but I did not sample a wide variety of materials so would not claim slate is absolutely the best. So what do you prefer, fsonic? | |
| Yamaha GT-2000 from Japan or local TD-125? Suffice to say that sideways movement, manifesting as platter wobble or run-out would be unusual in a high quality vintage DD turntable. No one doubts that the bearing of such a TT should be evaluated for excessive wear and serviced after purchase... | |
| Yamaha GT-2000 from Japan or local TD-125? Can you be more specific? | |
| Yamaha GT-2000 from Japan or local TD-125? Pindac, You've mentioned on other occasions an issue with sideways movement of the spindle particularly with DD TTs, and I responded then (and now) that while I would never say "never", such a problem must be very very rare with DD turntables, sin... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? Sometimes it's a matter of semantics, but many do speak of SUTs as if they have an impedance of their own. This is not the case, so I am sensitized to that implication. As I know you know, any transformer merely converts current to voltage (if y... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? The SUT doesn’t present a load. The load seen by the cartridge is dependent on that 47K resistor in the phono stage and the square of the turns ratio of the SUT. There is absolutely no reason to believe that you have to fine-tune the turns ratio o... |
