| Classic Audio T1 and T3 field coil loudspeakers Too bad that the T1s with all field coil drivers cost ca $50,000, according to Ralph. The T3s with field coils can be had at a much more down to earth price, but are still expensive. | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. If the tonality was previously to her liking and you changed ONLY the turntable, I do not see how interconnects could play a role in this question. I do not agree that silver is necessarily "bright", but that is a matter of individual taste. Anywa... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Tell her to get her own turntable.Turntables are not "bright", except maybe due to the platter mat. Tonearms and cartridges can be bright. Try changing the platter mat. | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I did not bother with the film caps, as per the opinion of Bill Thalmann, who says they tend to last indefinitely unless they are subject to excessive voltage beyond their rating. Also, I refuse to believe that one could "hear" the difference betw... | |
| For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work? With the Walker, I noticed a surprising degree of improvement on my Notts Hyperspace. Musical instruments were much better separated in space. Vocals were cleaner. The position of the phase switch on the Walker made a huge difference. I was very s... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Dsa, You wrote, "I'm talking about a small operator who buys 2nd hand (or new) SL1200s, pulls them apart and re-births them as a top flight deck with a different arm, plinth, power supply etc." By the time they did that, why bother with the SL1200... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III I just re-capped an entire MkII. You are correct. There is no 1pF cap anywhere, but then again I/we have found a few other errors in the Service Manual, most notably in the regulator circuit for the 5V supply in the PS module. One of the transisto... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Macrojack, I don't know about you, but I have been able to determine that most of us are old farts. What happens when we go to the happy LP hunting grounds, as far as the value of these turntables? I wonder how many of us are under 50 years old, f... | |
| Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals Ella on anything, really. Sarah, of course. But my favorite vocal is a Johnny Hartman LP on BeeHive label. (I think it's a low-end offshoot of Bethlehem.) It was recorded not too long before Hartman's death in the early 80s. I don't recall the tit... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Macrojack, Nothing "wrong" with your plinth. I did not get a plinth with my SP10, so had to improvise my own. The question is whether your plinth or my plinth could be "better", This is the hobby aspect. Pure music lovers need not pay any attentio... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pryso, The TLZ was the top of their line for a while. The next one down was the MCZ, as I recall. That one was related to the 8MC (or something like that), which may be the one to which you refer. I heard both the MCZ and the TLZ, and there really... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pryso, In my lifetime I have owned about 25 different old Porsches, pre-1965 bathtubs. As you may know, Porsche consulted with Chevrolet at least on the Corvair motor, if not also on other aspects of the Corvair. Maybe that's why I like my Grado T... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Pryso, You got the same idea I had re Raul's non-plinth. When I described it here pretty much as you did, Raul posted that I was incorrect, that his tonearm IS on a discrete outboard mount of its own. While Raul is not alone in preferring that typ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dave, Thanks for the URL, but nowhere do they tell you how much AVM you get for $95. It looks to be a very small bottle. I have never heard of this product before and would have dismissed it as snake oil, were it not for your recommendation. | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Dsa,You can get an exact 1:1 template for the SP10 chassis cut-out from Soundfountain. It even shows exactly where to put the screw holes. It costs only a few bucks.What that person may have meant re the 12-inch tonearm is that the square shape of... |
