| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question I think the Mk2 mod can be had also, at this time and for much less cost. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sarcher and Pryso, Albert is ecstatic about the new modifications, but he really did not know much about what was done. I then talked to Bill about it. Mostly it is about dampening vibrations and firming up the stator supports. Bill notes that as ... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? I didn't mean to belittle you for your enthusiasm. It is a great recording, indeed. I was just making a very personal and therefore irrelevant statement about that specific piece. However, it definitely should be in anyone's collection who is inte... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? Don, I instinctively agree with you. But the fact is that the vinyl either does or does not contain ferrous particles that are or are not magnetizable. These are questions that can be resolved, up or down. I am curious to learn whether there is an... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Dear Sonofjim, I went from an SAEC SS300 to the Boston Audio Mat2 on my Mk3. Both are good, but I do slightly prefer the BA. Both are far superior to the factory rubber mat, for sure. I could envision that with certain tonearm/cartridges, the SAEC... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Dear Goofy, What you need to find out is what is the rated gain of the phono stage via the MC inputs. What you quoted is just advertising fluff. Somewhere somehow they must also report the gain capability. However, just based on the fact that it i... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Yes, but I am so sick of "Waltz for Debby". Fortunately just about every tune Bill Evans ever played is worth a listen. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sarcher, I agree. Carry on. There are many others who do the same as you, so obviously the net results cannot be so terrible, in fact must be good. | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Goofy, MC cartridges are typically classified as "High Output" (HO) or "Low Output" (LO). LO is loosely defined as something less than 1.0mV at 5cm/sec. (This is not written in stone.) Most of the mono MCs under discussion here have an output some... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel, Two comments: (i) The price of that 4500S stylus is why I went ahead to purchase the NOS 981LZS; for only about $100 more, I get a whole new cartridge AND a correct NOS D98S stylus. (ii) Regarding your son who thinks "loan" means "g... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Addendum: The critical word in my first sentence was omitted by me: "If the CU180 weighs 4 lbs, I personally would HESITATE to use it..." Sorry for the caps. | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? All of the above. Also, Tommy Flanagan, Errol Garner, McCoy Tyner, and Bud Powell. And..... the list is long. Did anyone mention Thelonius? | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Dear Sarcher, If the CU180 weighs 4 lbs, I personally would to use it on a Mk2, as the stock mat weighs only about one lb. The whole platter weighs ca 8 lbs, I think. So by using the CU180, you increase the inertial mass by nearly 50%. But this is... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? JCarr, Thank you for one of the most thoughtful and informative posts ever, among the 7000+ posts on this thread. I am going to copy and save it on my desktop for reference. When I qualified my perhaps ill-conceived hypothesis by admitting I have ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, Note use of the word "theory". In other words, I made an observation and I then have advanced a hypothesis to explain it. I just threw it out there. Also, it was very late at night when I wrote that, with kind of a snootful of booze on boar... |
