| OMA or Jean Natais Lenco rebuild I don't recall how long I waited for Jeremy, but it was more like a year or less. On the other hand, the wait was worth it. I believe it makes a big difference. Takes quite a while to break in, but sounds good from the get-go. But when it's really... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I've got two spares for my Denon DP80, but I believe it is not the same IC as what was used in most of the other models. If the caps are kept tip-top, and if one does not plug a 100V Denon into a 115V AC outlet, all should be well. (I am pretty su... | |
| OMA or Jean Natais Lenco rebuild 2500 Euros = $3250. Does that include the starter turntable, or is that the price for work done to a unit that must be supplied by the buyer? If the latter, I am not sure the price difference between the PTP table and the other two options posed b... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Cat9, Capacitors are cheap, available, and better than ever. That's why I repeat ad nauseam that one ought to routinely replace electrolytic capacitors in the circuits of these old DD turntables, because failure of one of them can lead to destruct... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, Re your last post. First, can we be clear that I am NOT talking about air-borne vibrations? You keep going back to that in order to debunk something or other that I've written, and I keep reiterating that I am not so concerned with tha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If that is so, we can move our whole discussion to the aforementioned website. (I am not taking any chances; Big Brother is listening.)I am reading a novel about life in Russia under Stalin, so this is timely, not to mention Timeltel. Comrades, we... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul, What you write makes perfect sense. I note that most of the MS users have modified their tables to get to where they are happy with it. Along those lines, I would have thought that an outboard arm pod would at least defeat that very rea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timel, Don't go away! Your post is so cryptic that you need to stay and explain it. I don't know why your posts are delayed, if that is the case. Mine are all too distressingly immediate.When you guys discuss the sound of an AT20SS, are you talkin... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V Geoff, Touche'. I wrote what I wrote BEFORE I saw the new price of the latest Proscenium. Suddenly, it has become less real. I used to think of it as a bargain among megabuck turntables, when it was in the $40K to $60K range. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Henry, You misunderstand me. I really don't give a shit. I am not hyperventilating, and yes, your angry tirades (and one response of mine which was written in anger), in lieu of what could be an interesting back and forth discussion, and your tota... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Banquo, If, God forbid, you ever do have a problem with the quartz clock or any other unobtainium ICs that may be lurking in the circuit, you are not necessarily out of luck. If Victor was anything like Technics, you will find that some of the ind... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pinging Dave Garretson or anyone who has had a cartridge rebuild by SS. I saw a post on VA tonight where a guy reports that the required VTF for his FR cartridge, after rebuild by SS with the OC-CL stylus installed, was way different (nearly 2X) f... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul, With the big Micro Seiki's, and since we are all about building new or modifying original products to suit our beliefs and desires, isn't is possible to get around their perceived problems with the armboard mount by using (i) an outboard arm... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? FYI, I think the most expensive re-tip from Peter is $350, for the ruby cantilever and selected line contour stylus. For $250, you can have ruby and LC, too. I am not exactly clear why one LC stylus is $100 more than the other. Peter has my second... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System OK. I read the first paragraph or two and then ran out of energy (vibrational and otherwise). Why can't you imagine that two wholly independent structures could react differently from one another to, lets say, a heavy footfall on one hand or the 1... |
