| Polishing your TT bearing Viridian, You can add Herb Papier, designer, inventor, and builder of the original Triplanar tonearms to your list of watchmakers who went into analog audio. Herb once made most of the individual parts that go into a Triplanar in his own basement.... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Anyway, Two things are certain: (1) The early adapters will be ecstatic over this tonearm, and (2) we'll be arguing over why that is. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Dear Henry, You obviously have a vast knowledge of esoteric manufacturing processes. Thanks for the input on that subject. However, I would take issue with your last sentence:"But casting, welding, machining and gluing do." This was written in ref... | |
| Herron VTPH2 questions? What is the phono gain of the Herron? Does it have a linestage built-in? If so, what is the additional gain afforded by the linestage? If you want your question answered, you need to supply the minimal data needed in order to do it. On the other h... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Paraneer, If you are going to write out "piece of shit", there is no need for "POS". (Kidding.)Paraneer an Csontos, you are nowhere near sick enough to participate in this thread, if those are your respective lifelong lists of turntables, unless y... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned This thread is like a group therapy session. I feel much better knowing I am far from the "sickest" one here. I posted here last time in 2008. Since then I sold my Technics SP10 Mk2, bought an NOS SP10 Mk3 and built a plinth for it, bought two Ken... | |
| Someone in Chicago to help with Maplenoll Ariadne? Hey Bob, Your Beveridge 2SWs are sounding great. These pumps are akin to those used for fish tanks, and indeed some of them ARE fish tank air pumps. Ergo, you are quite likely to find the proper size clamps at a store or on-line where accessories ... | |
| progress? Because you have made some bad buying decisions, if your sole goal is tracking the 1812 Overture, and because of inflation and the evolution of the "high end" as we now know it, and because to some degree "we" drank the moving coil Kool-Aid 30 yea... | |
| progress? Since the turntable is not directly responsible for tracking, it would be helpful to know what tonearm(s) and cartridge(s) you are talking about. For one thing, typical modern MC cartridges often do not track as well as the old war-horse MM cartri... | |
| intermitant phono tube cut out? Mechans apparently knows much more about 5751 variants than I do. I would take his advice.Do I understand correctly now that Modwright is not the source of your idea to sub a 12AU7 for the 12AX7? It makes sense that this is so, because the idea of... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply Chris, Is there such a thing as a discrete "60 Hz" winding on the Garrard 301 motor? Did not know that.Farancon, What is your definition of a "power stabilizer"? Are you talking about an AC line filter, or an AC regenerator, or what? Thanks. There... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Thanks for the input on the MMC1. Actually I thought you had earlier agreed with me that the P-mount adapter was not much to brag about. Perhaps you were referring to the generic ones that are used for other P-mount cartridges. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sorry, Ecir. I did not realize you were building an outboard arm pod to match the height of your plinth. My guess is you need pretty exact data for that OR a height-adjustable arm pod. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ecir, My posts are not being blocked from this thread, or so it seems. This one will serve as a test. I will be happy to measure my TT101 for you, when I get it back from servicing. Meantime, you might try to download either the owners manual or t... | |
| High quality AC turntable motor Mosin, "Cogging like there's no tomorrow". Is that like "Party-ing til it's 1999"? Or something like that per Prince's song? Do you know what's become of Colby? His email is no longer valid.To others, As I think Mark Kelly himself pointed out alre... |
