| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply I noticed that. Still on the drawing board, I think. Thanks to Vetterone, I can conceive of building one from a frequency generator (saw a very cheap solid state module on eBay with a built-in digital read-out) driving an amplifier that can push c... | |
| Clearaudio Master Innovation Assembly pics Dear Rockitman,So as far as I can determine, that lower platter, which appears to be made of acrylic, has magnets imbedded in it. It is driven by the belt. The upper platter assembly is driven by the magnetic attraction between its base and the ma... | |
| Clearaudio Master Innovation Assembly pics Very nice rug. Turkish? | |
| help identifying bass solutions with system There are at least a dozen reasons for bass-shyness. Very hard to say from just listing your equipment. What is the rated frequency response of your speakers? Are they expected to do deep bass very well? Or are we just talking about mid-bass issue... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I was just listening to (and being enchanted by) Sarah Vaughn's 2-LP Japan concert (on Mainstream, an under-appreciated jazz label) using my Acutex LPM320, and I was thinking how great a leap it was for me to come to appreciate this cartridge, the... | |
| Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms? Islandman, that may be normal. If you look at the arm while you are lifting it, where is it pivoting? If it is pivoting at a point below and to the rear of the actual horizontal bearing, that is normal. | |
| Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms? Islandman, I have a DV501 that is virtually NOS. It was given to me by a close friend who never used it and bought it new. I also own and regularly use a 505. To answer your question, what do you mean by "play". Where the bearing is located, there... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Dear Nikola, In the late 70s I was still in medical training but had already been an audiophile for a few years. I owned Magneplanar Tympani spkrs with Transmission Line woofers that I built myself. Some guy brought over a Supex and a Mark Levinso... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you guys, including Henry. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hiho, I stand corrected. I am not sure the four screws you highlighted are the ones that do the trick. They may just secure the circumferential part of the brake system. However, the other photos clearly prove it can be done. Where the heck did yo... | |
| TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range? Re Sota Star Sapphire w/vacuum: I owned one for many years. It is a very nice turntable. After that, I have owned a Notts Hyperspace, upgraded Lenco, Denon DP80, Kenwood L07D, Technics SP10 Mk2 and Mk3. ALL of these turntables were and are superio... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Dear Nikola, If you win the lottery, as we Yanks like to say, "Money talks". I am happy with what i have. | |
| Nude Turntable Project I take it that the two URLs you cite above show the top and bottom of the denuded Mk3 chassis. (Well actually I KNOW that the top photo shows the top view of a Mk3 motor cum chassis.) When I look at the two photos, I do not see where the chassis c... | |
| TT suggestion in the $7 - 10K range? I am quite surprised that the range of recommendations is so narrow (except for Peter's), given the highly permissive price range. I would say that, before you spend any money, you should go wherever necessary and LISTEN to a wide variety of turnt... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hiho, I have been inside my own Mk3, so I have seen those sights. I looked at a few of the URLs you provided and don't yet see how the Mk3 motor can be parted from the company of its chassis, but perhaps the info is there somewhere. I guarantee I ... |
