| Which TT to keep? SP10, 124, 301, L75, B12H Dear Zipcrack, You should have no fear about using your SP10 Mk2. But before you do use it, get a competent person to replace all the electrolytic capacitors in both the power supply and the on-board electronics. (If memory serves, there are 8 in ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul and Downunder, Your cruelty re my lack of a Technics 100C is duly noted. I might have expected it from an Australian but not from a fellow Americano. Raul, if you throw in a new 3160 Phonolinepreamp, the price is right. Little do you guy... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Technics EPC-P100c Mk4 sucks.However, as a magnanimous gesture, I am willing to unburden one lucky owner of his sample. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I mounted my tonearm exactly according to that template from the owners manual, using the recommended pivot to stylus distance per Dynavector. If memory serves me, that would be 226mm, spindle to pivot distance. Yes, there will be some tiny ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Whoops!Dear Raul, You are referring to the mounting template on Vinyl Engine? I used that precisely to mount my tonearm. But that only tells you that the sylus overhang needs to be 15mm. Dynavector originally supplied a tool to establish that exac... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear R, I never knew there was a specific template for the DV505. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks for the information. I used Stevenson not because I had any reason to think it was "the best", but because from what I have read the DV505 he... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Dear Jean, Is your bearing upgrade available to the rest of us? If so, can you supply details? Also, do you still use and recommend the stock idler wheel in your ultimate efforts? Thanks. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Prior to this craziness with turntable, cartridges, and tonearms, I only owned one tonearm, the Triplanar. I also only owned one protractor, the Turntable Basics (TTB). Well, in fact I also have owned a metal Dennesen protractor for abou... | |
| Analog Gurus in Washington DC The "DC area" is geographically large. Where exactly do you live? For example, I live in West Bethesda, near the Potomac. (Glen Echo, actually.) | |
| Koetsu Urushi: Blue Sky, Vermillion, Tsugaru I think Brinkmann now make two direct drive turntables, which they seem to sell right alongside their very excellent belt drive products. I have no idea which sounds best, and there has been sadly little mention of the fact that the Brinkmann prod... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Dear Actusreus, Thanks to you and Syntax for setting me straight on the concept that SRA cannot be set by observation of the angle of the stylus with the LP. I read Fremer's article only superficially, obviously. I will now cease to be concerned a... | |
| Koetsu Urushi: Blue Sky, Vermillion, Tsugaru Dear Fjn04, Like most of us, I like what I have or what I have heard. I happen to have a Colibri, which is the yin to Koetsu Yang (or vice-versa), but I like it too. In a head to head, I might have to rank the Colibri above the Urushi. I also have... | |
| Koetsu Urushi: Blue Sky, Vermillion, Tsugaru Dear Doug, I don't get it, but I am not offended. Now that I have widened my horizons, I realize the Urushi is not the be-all and end-all. Since you are a UNIverse aficionado, it is not at all surprising that you would not care for Koetsus (assumi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think you may find that with careful tweaking both or either one of the Ortofon and the Andante may do better on resolving massed orchestral strings. I found this to be true of the Azden after I dialed in the geometry and VTA, but not before. (F... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So has any one of us yet tried one of the NOS Technics cartridges sold by Thakker? Will either of those accept a stylus assembly from a 100C? Interesting idea, eh what. |
