| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Downunder,The Kenwood is really understated and cool looking, IMO. If you see one in the flesh, you will know what I mean. The plinth is an integral part of the design and beautifully thought out with constrained layer damping, etc. IMO, each of t... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Dear Sonofjim, Becoming a turntable collector is my biggest fear. Actually, you are ahead of me, and Travis puts us both in the shade, I am pleased to be able to say. I "only" have the Mk3 and the two L07Ds among the top rank ones. Of course, I al... | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 Thanks, Mike. Macrojack's statement does not quite make the claim that Audiofeil wants to debunk, but it is likely to be the one he had in mind. The real question is why is Audiofeil so angry?As regards vintage tonearms, whatever anyone tells you ... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? OK you guys. As T_bone knows, I just bought my second L07D yesterday. I know that the P3 was rated better in the famous 1980 "shoot-out", but that was the opinion of two other guys. Plus they did not use an RF/EMI shield between the platter and th... | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 Dear Audiofeil, Did anyone here say that the EPA100 is the "best arm ever made"? I don't want to re-read all the posts, but I don't recollect that anyone made that claim. | |
| Dynavector 17D3 hitting clamp on VPI Scout Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Clamp goes on top of LP; mat goes under LP. Two different functions and different relationships to the LP.Yes, as I recall the VPI clamp is not particularly large in diameter, so I don't quite know why you are ha... | |
| Dynavector 17D3 hitting clamp on VPI Scout This would seem to be a problem with only certain LPs that have an unusually broad playing surface, so the run-out grooves run under your clamp. Is that the case? The Karat has a very delicate and tiny cantilever (which is what will get damaged be... | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 Dear MDT, I own a Triplanar and love it. However, with reference to the EPA100, my comments were based on hearsay. So many disparate reputable persons say it is excellent (e.g., Mosin, Raul, etc) that I have come to believe it IS excellent. I have... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, D. The question was probably too specific for this thread, so I apologize to others who may have found it trivial. Last night I did try the elastic band trick. To firm up the association of the stylus assembly with the body of the 980LZS (... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sorry, Tim. The Cardas test LP tracks 2a thru 2c (frequency sweeps on side A) are very good, IME, for breaking in a new cartridge or loosening up the suspension of cartridges that have been in storage for a long time. I think repeated playing of t... | |
| Does "perfect alignment of cart" eliminate 100% ? It's called "un-distortion", a world where everything becomes crystal clear and transparent. They use it at airports. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, Do you think the NOS XSV3000 replacement styli that I just bought will work on the Stanton 980LZS? There was a note to that effect that I saw somewhere. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, What bothers me is that there is some looseness in the fit of the stylus assembly, up until you pull it out as far as it is willing to go. I fear that the looseness is not good. I read where one user actually epoxied the stylus onto the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? First impressions of the Stanton 980LZS. I am running it into a 1000R load at the moment, have also tried 100R. (Output Z of the 980 is 3 ohms.) This thing has low output, lower than my Koetsu Urushi. At first it sounded awful, with distortion on ... | |
| Well Tempered Classic or Technics SP10Mk2 The factory-supplied electrolytic caps in an SP10 are now upwards of 30 years old. The lifespan of an electrolytic cap is less than 30 years. After 10-20 years, they start to leak DC and can even leak electrolyte onto other circuit elements. It is... |
