| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dear Inna, No. I have never heard SME or Brinkmann, but the Balance (belt) or the Bardo (direct-drive) would be on my short list of tt's to buy, if I ever need another one. (What I mean to say is, "never" in my own home system.) I spent quite a fe... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Great, but only if you use silver USB connectors. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 I don't know anything about Artisan Fidelity. Is that an idler-drive turntable? In my initial idler frenzy, I bought a 301 grease-bearing chassis at about the same time I bought the Lenco. After I heard the Lenco, and realizing that upgrading the ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dear Inna, I am beginning to think you don't think I think outside the box. Somehow, this does not trouble me. Obviously, we all live in our own boxes and escape to novel thinking is different for each of us. I hate the phrase "think outside the b... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 .."way better"... No. Not even "any better".Try then a well developed and tweaked Lenco idler-drive, also for much less money. I know you won't do that; I am just trying to help you think outside the box. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, I've only used it so far with the Stanton 980LZS, which is low-ish impedance. Actually, the input stage of the MP1 is a dual-differential cascode in its totality, as you know. Cascodes have high input impedance (I think) notwithstanding the ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Sorry, I should have directed my remark to Travis, aka T_bone. An added fact is that the pattern for the 5 threaded inserts provided for the bolts that fasten the tt chassis to its plinth in all 3 models, the MkII, 2A, and 3, is identical. Hence, ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Dave, The MkII and the Mk2A are physically identical, so any plinth that fits one will fit the other. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? "Of course that Lewm could try in his MP-1 but I'm with you about."Dave's view was that the load resistor on my MP1 input might be too low in value to suit the MMC1. If you noticed, I responded by saying I have switchable input resistors, 100R, 10... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dear Mauidj, If you can muster the courage, go ahead and buy the Kenwood L07D that is for sale on Audiogon at an absurd low price. And that one was completely serviced by the best possible person to do it. (I know, because he has done two L07Ds fo... | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable Dear Blackburn, A Maybach? A Rolls? A Ferrari 599GTB or Italia? What, for $300K? I am a car guy without your kind of bucks, but I was once a very successful Porsche collector (550 Spyder, Carrera GT Speedster, etc). If I had not sold them all, I p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Within the US, isn't Sound Smith also an authorized repair service for B&O? Plus do they not manufacture cartridges sold under the B&O name, if there are any? | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Which obsidian plinth? I think there were at least two different ones made by Technics for the Mk2. The heavier of the two is likely to be not at all bad, perhaps only a notch below Albert's plinth or a good slate plinth or anyone else's personal ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Thuchan, When I contemplate what my poor wife has to put up with, I cannot wonder at the condition of post-marital sex. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul and Dave,(1) The Reed tonearm and the MP1 phono inputs are within physical reach of each other using 3-ft interconnects, which is why I linked use of the Reed to use of the MP1. Plus the Reed has XLR connectors and the MP1 has XLR inputs... |
