| seeking turntable recommendations Lenco, Lenco, Lenco (L75 or GL75, only). You can get one in restored condition in a nice plinth for that kind of dough. They are wonderful tt's and are bullet-proof. Others might suggest vintage Technics, etc. Actually, there are a lot of good cho... | |
| Art Audio Vinyl Reference vs Maxxed Out K&K I just recently read on the Art Audio website something to the effect that Kevin Carter either builds the Reference for AA or that he designed it. I think the latter is the case. Or do you know this already? Therefore I would expect the two to sou... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice Dear Bifwayne, I have no personal experience of computer downloaded music in my own system, but I have heard it elsewhere in very good systems. The idea is to download to a high quality outboard DAC (digital to audio converter). Via the DAC upsamp... | |
| Seeking Turntable Advice The hum is probably due to a poor ground somewhere. Sometimes it is beneficial, as someone else said, to ground the tt to the preamp; sometimes not. The tonearm also may or may not need to be grounded. And cartridges usually do not hum unless the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Now I feel like Raul, having to respond to several different questions in a string of posts.Dear Downunder, It is difficult to get good information re the differences among all the Urushi models. I tend to think they are all nearly the same. I onc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don't worry, DU, I am truly delusional. I favor the Urushi over either. Go figure that one. But no one is saying that the Azden is the best of the MM/MI bunch, so I am fully prepared to be more impressed by some of the others I have not yet heard ... | |
| Triplanar is compatible with a Peripheral Clamp Hi Thom,I agree with your assessment of ring weights. In fact, on balance I could live without record weights, record clamps, AND peripheral ring weights. (I now never use either of the former, occasionally use the ring.) Not only do they add to t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dertonearm, "Cascaded tube/JFET phono-input"? I am guessing that was a typo and you meant to write "cascOded". I am not aware that Atma-sphere ever used anything but a cascode and all-tubes in the phono input stage (a dual-differential cascode), b... | |
| Triplanar is compatible with a Peripheral Clamp Glad you worked it out. It is unfortunate that one of the innovative features of the Triplanar (the tower to adjust VTA) which required that the bearing and tonearm assembly are offset to the right, is therefore also the cause of problems in mount... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I am sorry I brought up the subject of tubes vs transistors, but in my defense, I was only following on to your preceding remarks. In any case, the controversy has taken on a near religious quality, so best left alone. I will only say t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Just so you know, when I remarked that the experiences of our group with MM/MI cartridges vs MC ones has led me to wonder whether there was an association between solid state electronics and favorable impressions of MM cartridges, I in no wa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, yesterday I finally started again to listen to LPs with everything repaired in my system. (There were quite a few unrelated problems, most of which were my own fault. Such are the perils of DIY.) Anyway, my first revelation is regarding the ... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Digital multimeter solamente won't get you there without a lot of extra effort. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow, I've got virtually the same Lenco tt (in slate plinth with PTP), and I just bought an EPA500 to go with it. I hope to have some good fun with that. Great minds think alike. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dertonearm, My questions were not meant as a form of interrogation or to indicate disagreement. I was just trying to understand your original post. What you have written above in response (your earliest post of 12-18-10) is gibberish, frankly... |
