| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply Steve, Armed with the knowledge that you just dispensed, would it not then be possible to control an induction motor (i.e., my Lenco) with a power re-generator like those made by PS Audio, assuming that one or more of their products do allow for c... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hiho, Now take THAT and mount it in a piece of slate or hardwood, and you've got something, IMO. Where are the electronics? Show us what is at the other end of those wires coming off the bottom of the motor. Thx.You've given me further reason to h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dover and Nikola, I know a little about Switzerland. I travel to Geneva once or twice a year to attend World Health Organization meetings. Geneva of course is French-dominant. I have also traveled by car from Geneva all the way down the lake ... | |
| Should I keep my Well tempered tonearm? In my experience trying to make the WT Reference tonearm work well on a WT Reference turntable, I found the arm to be almost inevitably overdamped. Even when I got it to work properly (on behalf of a dear friend who owns the set-up) the sound was ... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. For one thing, the top MM/MI cartridges when well set up in a good tonearm seem to track piano music better than (my) MC cartridges, to include Koetsu Urushi, van den Hul Colibri, and Ortofon MC7500. The really good MMs capture the overtones and t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola, What kind of name is "Reto". I have never seen that before, and it does not sound Italian but must be. Maybe they call him Reto because he writes in German. | |
| Stand out phono stages I purchased a Silvaweld SWH550 phono stage (the top phono in that now extinct line of product) about 6 months ago, to use as a dedicated MM phono stage. Found it on eBay for surprisingly low cost, probably because few people have ever heard of Sil... | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's Dear Doug, You and Einstein. I knew it. | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. Marakanetz, There you go again. IMO, Nanbil has it about right. And I think Raul would agree. And Tbromgard more or less echoed my earlier post. | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's This topic is really quite interesting, and I am trying to brush up on the physics of it. One further bit of advice that I came across elsewhere was to be sure to turn on the demagnetizer when it is well away (>3ft, according to one source) fro... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. It's senseless to argue. Everyone should do what he or she likes. Just trying to help the OP. Marakanetz, I disagree with your sentiment, but more importantly you are not helping the OP by stating such a strong opinion with no backup information t... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. In audio, don't assume that price is proportional to performance. Like Grinnell said, the choice should be based on your phono stage, etc. But the phono stage is most important. Unless the Clearaudio MC is a "high output" MC (meaning it makes at l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Mike, I am soon going to install a Khozmo attenuator into my main full function preamp, the Atma MP1, wired up as a balanced shunt. I have had the thing sitting on my desk for maybe 6 months whilst I was working on the Atma amplifiers. It's so nic... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Inshore and Halcro, I dearly love my L07D, and I totally agree with you on the engineering. Those guys were way ahead of their time in designing and building that plinth. And what strikes me about the L07D in action is its inherent dead silen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am using a Silvaweld phono stage for MM. I just installed Mundorf Silver/oil output coupling caps tonight, after breaking them in for a week on a capacitor torture device I devised. I was ambivalent about the Mundorf's , just wanted to try them.... |
