| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? One thing I think is true, Raul. When you do find your new dimension audio world, it will be YOUR world. Nirvana will be slightly different for each of us. Just think of the wide differences among the speakers and amplifiers we use, for starters. ... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo The coreless motor with the magnets on the underside of the subplatter is very much like the design of the motor in the Kenwood L07D. The SP10 Mk3 also has its huge magnet structure fixed to the underside of the platter, though the stator is not c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There hasn't been a post here for a couple of days, which makes me wonder whether we have talked about and/or evaluated every possible worthwhile vintage MM or MI cartridge. Will there be no new revelations from here on out? I personally cannot th... | |
| Why three motors? As I understand it, you are better off with the motor pulley as close as possible to the platter, so the belt contacts as much as possible of the circumference of the platter, to minimize the phenomenon of "belt creep". I don't know why these and ... | |
| Why three motors? I am completely ignorant of the engineering principles that govern "poise, serenity, and composure". In particular, I am weak on the subject of serenity.Seriously, the tables in question are probably superb sounding. I mean to cast no aspersions. ... | |
| Why three motors? I have never listened to any of these 3-motor tables, but the configuration shown, where the belt contacts the platter on only one side of the "triangle" would seem to be a worst-case set-up for "belt creep", as first described (to me) by Mark Kel... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Best to use Dave' suggestion to solder one end of the adapter clip directly to the headshell wires in place of standard cartridge clips, then use the female end to mate with the smaller diameter Pmount cartridge pins. That way you have only one pr... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? No matter how well engineered it was in 1980, caps is caps. After 20 or more years, any electrolytic in any component should be changed out in favor of new. If the thing works without that service, fine, but there is a finite chance that it could ... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? No apologies necessary. My wife and son merely told me quietly that it was crazy to have 5 turntables (this was before I bought the latest L07D), and they've mercifully let it go at that. My SP10 Mk2A is running right next to my L07D. The Mk2A was... | |
| 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... |
