| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Debating about whether to keep the MMC1, because I have so many others I like as well. Therefore, I have not put mine into service, so that if and when I sell it I can still honestly say it is NOS. My reservations also have something to... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply P300s and later versions are still readily available. I've never played with one, but I think someone told me that the frequency adjustment is only a few Hz up and down from a center frequency of 60Hz, so it may not get down to 50Hz. But this is h... | |
| Replacement for loricraft power supply Dear Steve (Vetterone) thanks for the enlightenment. As a Lenco owner and user, I had heard the scuttlebutt around 50Hz for the Garrard, but never from an authoritative source such as yourself. The Lenco motor has no such idiosyncracy, to my knowl... | |
| intermitant phono tube cut out? My guess: Bad tube socket. Jiggle the offending tube, when it cuts out, or if swapping tubes between channels leaves the problem in the same channel, that is consistent with intermittent contact in that tube socket. But this is a guessing game. Th... | |
| 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... |
