| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richard and Henry, Well actually Henry has made a change to platter inertia, in the downward direction, by removing the platter mat. I am guessing, based on my DP80, that the Victor OEM platter mat is a rubber one. If it's like the DP80 platter ma... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Larry, I have nothing for sale. I had two L07Ds, about 2-3 years ago, and sold one to Radicalsteve (aka Steve) more than a year ago. I hadn't heard from him since, so I am happy to learn that he is happy. I would not part with my one remainin... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thanks, Steve. Most of all, I am glad you like the L07D. I would not be without one; I just did not need two. In the case of the L07D, its stainless steel mat seems to be so well integrated to give a very neutral sound that I would be loathe to su... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro, I am interested in your response re "platter inertia", which is to say, are you using an aftermarket platter mat that adds significant mass?Would be interesting to look at the audio output waveform, to see whether those notches in the peak... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Fumigate" means to permeate with fumes. Usually this is done by a professional exterminator. Not a "hit man" but a guy who comes into your home to rid it of pests. Not human pests but pests who are members of other species and genii. When I owned... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dear Dover, I have no issue with anything you say, where it's a matter of opinion. And I believe you are totally honest when you relate to us that there is something about the "sound" of the direct-drive turntables with which you are familiar that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You are correct about the proper order of drinks. I drank the wine when we were at dinner in a restaurant near to the jazz, and I drank the vodka later while listening to music. (In the US, they make you drink "something"; or else you pay the cove... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric et al, I own not only a used P8 ES but also a van den Hul version. Have you auditioned the latter in your system? Does it have a hope of competing with the creme de la creme? If not, can Axel make it sing?I have just had the revelation (af... | |
| Just bought a Pioneer pl 41 As long as you already own sneakers, you did good. | |
| Cartridge gain overload - please explain There seems to be an underlying assumption that the Whest phono stage is a truly balanced device. It may have XLR input or output jacks, but I find no evidence anywhere to say it is balanced. For that matter, the same holds true for the ARC, altho... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Larry, I comprehend one or two sentences in your reply to my questions, but much of it I do not get.Let's take this paragraph:"electrically speaking there will be no FR change with cartridge loading R....if there is... it may have to do with ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Larry, I know from reading information on the Jensen transformer website that a small RC network can improve the flatness of the frequency response when one is using a SUT, but can you defend your apparent statement that a cartridge with a 5R inte... | |
| has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 Nikola, You can pay several hundred USD per piece for REL or VCap teflons, not to mention Deuland caps. Or, you can pay a few bucks or less each for the same value caps. So I think you would admit that price is an object when a manufacturer select... | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback Makes sense, because now I think I recall that Jean was one of a few guys who did not like the idea of a titanium idler wheel. Wonder what happened to Mirko. He was making quite a few products for Lenco, Garrard, and Thorens TD124, up to and inclu... | |
