| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 Hold it. That seems to be a page I bookmarked long ago on the hope that it had something to do with Mark's work. But looking at the spec sheet, I think it is a product from another "Kelly". No way our MC will need to deliver "100A". | |
| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 Wow! I misspoke. I totally forgot about this page (see URL) which does describe some specs and features for the Kelly Motor Controller:http://visforvoltage.org/blog/kelly-controls-llc/10890As you can see, the date is June, 2011. I know that Mark i... | |
| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 Palasr, The price list won't come up on my computer, perhaps it's due to my using a Mac with Safari.Jcote, none of us knows any details about Mark's design, much less its features. The project dates to the origin of this thread, about 2 years and ... | |
| Vocals sound slightly high pitched? What kind of turntable do you own? Belt-drive, direct-drive, or idler-drive? I am going to guess it's a belt-drive. First, I would do nothing until you receive and install your new belt. Second, would depend upon your tt has a stand-alone motor wh... | |
| Vocals sound slightly high pitched? Get....a....strobe....device.You will find that your turntable is off-speed, on the high side. There is no mystery here. | |
| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 Gilles, Do you know the cost of that Sound Carrier controller? I am not certain why you refer to it as "American". It seems to be manufactured in the Czech Republic. Thanks for mentioning it here. | |
| alternative power supply for Garrard 301 One of my unanswered questions is whether Mark's controller will work well with the Lenco motor, since, as far as I can tell, the Lenco motor is single-phase, whereas the Garrard motor is two-phase (judging from the presence of a putative phase-sp... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse All positive answers, in terms of the potential of the Io. I am rather surprised that the 2nd PS makes such a big difference; I would have thought that separate constant current sources and voltage regulators for each channel would be sufficient t... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse If one chooses the "Io with high level input" option, what is the signal path after the high level input jack on the Io? Is there an actual linestage section built in, or is it just passive? If the latter, then one must consider amplifier input se... | |
| Phono recommendations for Koetsu I have always believed that the best bang for the buck in SUTs must be those made by Jensen in Southern California. Those guys really understand transformers. They offer guidance, and they make a few different models suitable for cartridges with d... | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus Either the Amadeus is impregnated with a drug that renders its users slavishly dedicated to it, or it is a very good turntable. I have never seen such unanimous adoration for a product. As a contrarian myself (and a person who finds much not to li... | |
| DIY Bearing availability Nice ready-made track for an idler wheel on the underside of that eBay offering, but it would have to be one powerful motor to move that sucker. Does look to be beautifully made. | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus In his white paper on tracking angle error, does Mr. Firebaugh explain why he does not provide for end-user adjustment of stylus overhang? It would be a simple matter to provide slots in the headshell, rather than fixed position holes. All that he... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? As I said, I am and always have been a skeptic when it comes to this issue. But then we have the many who say they do hear a difference before vs after using a degausser. Their collective testimony does not convince me, because of the element of s... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? Dhl, I think there is unanimity on your major point, if the underlying assumption is valid, but the question is ARE there in fact ferrous materials present in the pot from which LPs are generated? One person on this thread claimed that there are. |
