| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono Suteetat, In your defense, I think upgrading the phono stage can be "heard" regardless of turntable, since the two devices manifest themselves in very different ways. Then too, a better phono stage prepares you for a better turntable at a later da... | |
| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono Jtimothya, Of course I was not put off at all. I was just correcting the impression you left re the resistance seen by the cartridge thru a SUT hooked to the MM input. I know you are an experienced knowledgeable person, so I figured you just missp... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System In the US there is an on-line business that can sell you a solid brass, bronze, stainless steel, or alu cylinder in your choice of diameters and pre-cut to your desired length (=height). Here is one page of their website that I have been looking a... | |
| How is LAMM LP2 compares to the more recent phono Dear Jtimothya, With an external SUT thru the MM input, the cartridge will almost surely not "see" 47K ohms. It will see 47K divided by the square of the turns ratio of the external SUT, whatever that turns out to be. I also think Thuchan and Synt... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris, FYI a Triplanar, and probably other 9-inch tonearms where the pivot is offset to the right of the vertical mounting shaft (e.g., 9-inch Reed or Talea), is virtually unusable with SP10 due to that "skirt", unless you can tolerate a really we... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul, From where you are, I would go on-line at Sears or Home Depot or even eBay, and just order by mail. If that's not possible, let me know. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, For what it's worth, there is no argument (because I have stopped arguing), and there is no winner (because the outcome is subjective). If you've noticed, I am not posting here as regards my opinion on outboard tonearms and plinth-le... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II String Theory. The factory installed idler arm spring pulls the idler arm not only up toward the bottom of the platter but also exerts a force slightly biased toward the spindle side. I guess this is because the idler arm actually describes an arc... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I am still breaking in the Jeremy bearing plus clamp, so any improvement due to the string might be hard to decipher, if I added it at this point. I will do some listening to the Jeremy this weekend and then maybe do the string next week. But I wi... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, You might try a laser-type device for assuring that the table and arm mount are plane parallel. I believe such things are now commercially available. I would not completely trust a small spirit level; a large long carpenter's level would be ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Glai, I apologize if I sounded offensive or aggressive. I thought you had written something to the effect that you "noticed" improved speed stability when you introduced the AC regenerator. This to me meant that you looked at the little strobe dev... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference I don't know about the Bardo, but the SP10 external power supply converts AC from the wall socket to DC and delivers three discrete DC voltages to the main chassis. I guess it could not hurt to supply it with "clean" AC, if one lives in an environ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? DU, That's a beautiful piece. Hope you like it. I too have toyed with the idea of buying a 70s or 80s Japanese phono stage (usually in those days you got a full function preamp along with it). The main attraction for me is the built-in loading opt... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, The other potentially maddening thing is that you secure the cartridge in the headshell only to find during alignment that you have chosen the wrong pair of mounting holes, not to mention that it is possible that none of the mounting positio... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Forgot you said you used his kit. Thx anyway. I have figured out how to implement the string in the context of the PTP without drilling new holes. So I will (reluctantly) give this a try using small lead or brass weights. Does anyone know how much... |
