| interconnnect for tri-planer arm? Audiotomb, It sounds like your particular Triplanar is one that came with the optional outboard box that presents female RCA jacks for use with your choice of IC. Correct? If so, and for minimal expenditure, I personally would remove the afferent ... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Tim, I should have added that because of the drastic difference in shapes, a plinth custom-made for a Mk3 would not fit the submergible portion of a Mk2 chassis. It's a square peg into a round hole, where the side of the square is at least the sam... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, "Corpora", or "corpuses" will do. I think it's a second declension noun in Latin. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel: To quote Wikipedia: "Because of their usefulness in carrying out power calculations, listed voltages for power outlets, e.g. 120 V (USA) or 230 V (Europe), are almost always quoted in RMS values, and not peak values."I know all about RMS... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Dear Tim, I think my original response does address what I think is your question. From the top side, the Mk2 and Mk3 "chassis'" are indistinguishable, as you suggest. What I was describing is that the part you don't see when the two are installed... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Tim, the Mk3 "chassis", as you know, does not contain any onboard circuitry. It is merely a cradle for the motor and a mount for the on-off switch and the strobe. Ergo, the bit that hangs down below the square escutcheon (the "dog's balls", in Dov... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have now posted twice in vain. Neither post appears here.To repeat:Jim, You may well be correct, 2S, not 4S.Timeltel, Have you really documented 170VAC at your wall socket? That's a real indictment of your power company, but it is not typical of... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lbelchev, When they wrote "sophisticated cabinet construction", it sounds like they were talking about their plinth, which I believe was supplied as an accessory to the Mk3. But is it possible, or do you think, they were referring to the chassis p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, I think it was the Pickering TL-4S, or something close to that in name, that first aroused my curiosity to reconsider MM cartridges. Yes, even before this hoary thread was started by Raul. Dave Pogue, a regular contributor on VA, lives near m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Guillermo owns a pair of 845PX Sound Labs? Nice. But has he modified (or better yet, removed entirely) the terrible crossover that lies therein? Has he dealt with the treble transformer that is crossed over right in the heart of the midrange... | |

| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lbelchev, I would guess that the Mk2 and Mk3 are just so completely different that it was just fortuitous fall-out that resulted in the Mk3 having lower rumble. Moreover, somewhere around that time, the method for measuring TT rumble was changed s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The benefits of a subwoofer are obvious, but all too often the penalty is (1) an obvious discontinuity in the sound field, and (2) audible colorations/"distortions" introduced by the necessary crossover, active or passive. The trick is to avoid th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, If you would define your terms better, we could have a better argument. What do you mean by "resolution"? What do you mean by "distortion"? It seems that you use one or the other term any time someone disagrees with you on the rating of a ca... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Dear Sonofjim, Thank you for your detailed response. I am treading on "little cat feet", but I have come to understand that a Krebs-modded Mk3 in a Dobbins plinth would not be too much of a good thing. Mr. Krebs was kind enough to send me some pho... |
