| Resistors for phono preamp There seems to be a general consensus here. If I had to rank my top 3, I would put the TX2575 first by a hair with Caddock TF020 almost undistinguishable. Both slightly ahead of tantalums. (In my experience, there is nothing magic about the Audio... | |
| Resistors for phono preamp Best most transparent resistors in my DIY experience: Texas Instruments TX2575, Caddock TF020, and tantalum any brand. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I googled Logic. Very interesting spring-suspended TT and very reminiscent of the early AR XA turntable, which was my own first true audiophile turntable, probably in 1970-71. I suppose Logic may have crossed my path at some point, and I just for... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I’ve been in the hobby since the early 70s, living in the NE US in proximity to both Boston and NYC, a frequent visitor to some of the legendary stores in those two cities and then living in Washington DC since those days, and I’ve never ever hear... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please The G series is night and day better than any of the 1200 series and its numerical derivatives. This is opinion based on facts. Better (coreless) motor. Better more massive and damped plinth. Improved platter and tonearm. Much better electronic sp... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) What am I looking for? I see the entirety of the old thread. | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please If that is your problem with the G series Technics, you ought to be able to get over it. It's just silly. | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade I had never heard the word "fettler" until reading this thread. I am aware of the term "fettle", as in the term "fine fettle", which I guess means everything is copacetic for that individual or that object. Wikipedia has several disparate definiti... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Dave, Good to hear from you. Lew | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Pryso, It was my impression that the MN6082 was used in the MK3 and in many if not all of the original 1200 series TTs, and probably the SP15, as you say, but I am not sure either way about the MK2. I would have thought it was also used there but ... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) Elliot, That is a very kind offer, but please don't go to the trouble. I have a big bag of faucet washers, many of which have a promising profile, and I can find one that works by trial and error and thanks to the dimensions that you posted. I've ... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Some $10K cartridges are very very good. Some other cartridges that can be had (used, usually) for under $1K are also very very good. To the point where an experienced audiophile with an excellent system and good ears might prefer the latter to ... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) I'm looking for the part number of the washer in your diagram. I don't see it. Do you have the number? If so, and if you would share the info, that would be great. | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) Yes, no one disputes that the Victor tonearm counterweights tend to sag over time. Happens to the best of us. Chakster used to describe this problem as an indication the tonearm was ruined thereby. You and several others were able to fix the pro... | |
