| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Dear Silverprint, I doubt that "decuplicating" is a word in English, but it is a very good invention, and the meaning is obvious. Yes, there is a lot of decuplicating going on in the computation of the prices of audio products that derive from mat... | |
| Technics SP-10 Mk3 Power Supply / Control Unit wireknot, Rwwear is correct, but it's not as simple as that, i.e., you could not substitute an off the shelf AC/DC motor controller for the SP10 power supply. The SP10 power supply is doing other things besides supplying voltage and current to run... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Silverprint, Don't know what Albert is going to say, but in general it is not a good idea to decouple the tt and the plinth. The whole idea is to couple them as efficiently and completely as possible. Rubber grommets or any similar devices will de... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Silverprint, I own a Boston Audio Mat I, which is made of graphite. Is that the material you have in mind? As Cpk says, it does seem a little fragile in the context of the mat, but maybe a thick block of it would be much stronger. I think that stu... | |
| Technics SP-10 Mk3 Power Supply / Control Unit Raul, I would have to agree with Rwwear; I'm fairly certain the power supplies would NOT be interchangeable between the II and the III, plus I don't think the II is so inexpensive these days that one would want to break one up just to get a PS for... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Ralph, sorry for my confusion. Could you be referring to the EPA-100, when you mention "that heavy Technics tonearm"? I have no opinion, but others say this is a really good unit. | |
| Technics SP-10 Mk3 Power Supply / Control Unit Check threads on diyaudio. Two different guys are developing outbooard PSs for the MkII and are discussing applicability to the MkIII. Neither is a finished product yet, but it's likely that Mark Kelly (the first of the two guys) will have one som... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Ralph, I'll take all the Pioneer Exclusive tts you can find. No snobbery here. For that matter, there are top-of-the-line Kenwoods, Yamahas, and Denons that deserve to be mentioned in the same breath with the SP10 variants. Raul mentioned those tt... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Robyatt, What cartridges work well in the RS-A1? I've got one too, largely because it is so easy to move between tts, it will facilitate my ability to compare one tt to another. But the darn thing is so unorthodox in construction and implementatio... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lonestar, Your sentiments are commendable. The Walker Audio Proscenium is built out of lead too, but at that price, not many of them are going to end up in landfills, ever.As far as tubes for the SP10 power supply, I quite agree that that sounds i... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Hiho, Have you ever actually seen the Kaneta modifications applied to an SP10, other than the one in those photos? That URL is frequently cited, but there is no hint anywhere else on the internet that I can find to indicate that help (i.e., kits o... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Silverprint, I have not done the listening tests necessary to have a valid opinion myself, but the prevailing opinion is that some coupling between tonearm base and bearing/motor is preferable. IOW, those designs you may see with the tonearm mount... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Cpk, If you beat me to it, let us know how it sounds in slate. My slab is sitting on the floor in my living room, but a little thing like needing to write a chapter for a medical text is keeping me away from installing the SP10 into it. | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Silverprint, As far as I know, graphite has some excellent qualities for audio use, but I don't think it's very dense. In other words, the weight per unit of volume is not great. Therefore graphite might not be so good for mass loading. This is no... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Pryso, Thanks for that input. I was unaware that the rod in Albert's plinth actually goes thru to the bearing housing. Very ingenious. So you're correct; that IS different from what Raul has done. You've given me some food for thought; a similar d... |
