| Skala or Kleos? Some say Delos better than Kleos. | |
| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? Rtilden, Check to see whether any of your ICs, particularly the one from tonearm to preamp, are running parallel to or anywhere near an AC cord or a PS umbilical. I had an identical buzz that drove me a bit nuts until I noticed that my phono cable... | |
| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? Dear Dhl, If the phono circuit has a balanced topology, then the cartridge may be connected in balanced mode, and believe me there is CMR for the phono signal which does cancel hum along with other noise common to both halves of the signal. You ca... | |
| Power cord for Technics SP-10MkII Dear Tpreaves, Explain please. An IEC connector, both the male and female parts, is made of fairly cheap low grade conductor and relies on a weak frictional contact. Why would that be superior to silver solder and an inch of zip cord connected dir... | |
| Power cord for Technics SP-10MkII Since the OEM power cord on the SP10 MkII is naught but standard "zip cord" that is identical to what is found on the typical table lamp, I would imagine there might be some benefit to upgrading it. However, I am a believer that the typical IEC co... | |
| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? There are probably a dozen reasons why one phono stage might be more likely to hum with a particular tonearm and cartridge where some other phono stage will not. First of all, lets get the terminology straight; when you say "hum" it implies a 60Hz... | |
| Ayre DPS Bauer vs Artemis Labs There is one big difference between these two turntables that would lead me to choose the Artemis, all other things being equal. The Artemis uses a kind of capstan to wrap the tape drive around the platter. This has a very important effect to grea... | |
| 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... |
