| Top line phono stages with at least 2 inputs Before Mike's post, I had never heard of the Allnic products. They look very interesting and very thoughtfully designed and executed, even tho I do not favor SUTs or transformer coupling. Has anyone heard either of the two units Mike mentioned? | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Pryso, I saw that UK site; in fact you may be the one that originally supplied me with the URL. Due to the devaluation of the pound vs the dollar, it's become a more reasonable proposition. Certainly, for anyone who is not into DIY and who has an ... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Raul, Sorry for the tone of my post, if it was too intense. In response to your latest, I can only say that there definitely ARE reports on the internet, on various other sites, of SP10s that won't hold speed, that have lost torque, that are plain... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Strathorncat, Sounds like you know how to read a schematic and have an SP10 service manual. You will therefore know or be able to see that the external PS is far from "state of the art", even for 1980. I think this means that Technics built it as ... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? Raul, I think you have the completely wrong idea in this rare case. For me, the reason to change the electrolytic caps in ANY device that has been sitting on a shelf for 20 years is simply to avoid a failure that could damage other, much more irre... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? There is a certain piece of mind in knowing the lytics are not going to leak and take out an irreplaceable IC. (Most of the ICs in that circuit are no longer made, and some of them were custom built for Technics specifically for that circuit, so n... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? FWIW, While I am an old hand at DIY, I have too many projects and so farmed out the capacitor change to Bill Thalmann at Music Technology in Springfield, VA. Bill is very experienced and way way more knowledgeable than I am. He thought it was prud... | |
| Technics SP-10 TT motor capacitors? There are more small value lytics in the onboard electronics module. You will have to turn your tt chassis over to unbolt the tray that covers the PCB in question in order to find and replace them, if you want to do so that is. | |
| Linn LP-12 compared to TW Acustic, SME, Nottingham Somewhere on the Analog Discussion site there is a long, long thread on the highly related issue of whether the LP12 can be compared with or can compete with the best of modern tts. Try the search engine. You have hours of reading ahead of you. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Atma-sphere MP1 has a first-rate phono stage and a fabulous linestage all rolled into one, with true balanced differential circuits from input to output and no output coupling capacitor, since the amp is directly driven via the circlotron output s... | |
| Mounting a Triplanar or similar on an SP10 Music at work, That's kind of what I thought, until I took my Triplanar up to the SP10 and started to try to locate the holes I need to drill. The problem arises due to the aforementioned offset between the mounting flange of a Triplanar and the a... | |

| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable I am having some slate cubes made using the piece of slate that dropped out of the slab when the hole for the Denon was cut. It was easily large enough to give birth to a dozen cubes, each 2X2X2 inches. But I am also thinking about feet that provi... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable T_bone, that sort of an idea for an armboard went thru my mind also. But how are you going to support the rectangular slate armboard, once it's been cut out of the main slate slab? It could be done, but nothing I thought of seemed satisfactory, gi... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable My post of 01-26-09 should be ignored. I later learned that using a CNC milling machine to cut the hole for the Denon would be very very expensive vs using a water jet and probably less precise. |
