| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Kozzmo, so whose platter and bearing are you using, or is it a secret? | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Treehugga and T_bone, As I now understand the operation of a waterjet, it cannot make router-like cuts and patterns; it can only cut the material all the way thru. This obviously imposes some limitations for plinth designs. I would have liked to h... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Treehugga, I've done the same thing in my Denon slate plinth, which is not quite so massive as yours (50mm thick vs 100mm). I use a Triplanar, so all that's required is to locate and drill the three bolt holes for its base. It's easy to drill slat... | |
| Well-Tempered Golf Ball? Emailists, Do you truly believe the dealer who told you that the WT tonearm is "unaffected by imprecise alignment"? If so, I have some herbal remedies to sell you. He was correct in saying that there is no (easy) adjustment for stylus overhang, be... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable T_bone, Raul used a minimalist plinth like that with both an SP10 and a DP80 and liked the results. It would be interesting to use your first effort as a reference, if and when you try to build a heavier/denser plinth for the DP80. I think the DP8... | |
| Building a custom power supply for an old TT I was searching another topic and saw this post. For the Technics tables, there is absolutely no problem to build an outboard PS to take the place of the original. All you need is a PS that can make 140VDC, unregulated, plus regulated supplies of ... | |
| How to locate a "new" strobe light Luxman PD-121 The problem may reside in an electronic circuit that runs the strobe. This happened to me with my Denon DP80. In the DP80, there is a single IC that performs several functions necessary for full operation of the tt. One of them is to emit a signal... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? That sounds so impossibly high that I agree it MUST be an error. There's just not enough wire in there to generate that much inductance. I will bet that they meant to write "micro-" Henries, not "milli-". Even that much seems a tad high. Of course... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? According to what is on the web, P3 had "10 kg.cm" of torque, compared to MkIII at 16 kg.cm. MkII has 6 kg.cm, according to my owner's manual. I wonder whether Downunder bought a P3. | |
| Brinkmann La Grange Tube PS vs New TW-Acustic AC-3 Would the two sound different? Possibly. Would there be a $5K difference in favor of the Raven? Probably to some people and probably not to others. If you can finagle an audition; that's the way to go. Personally, I would go for the LaGrange in a ... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... No regrets, This is just my 2 cents, but if you don't know how the motor control circuit works, I would advise against random parts replacement. That can lead to confusing the issue, if you make an error. Anyway, I am sticking with the idea that y... | |
| The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts? Dear Nandric, I sincerely hope and expect that the Jubilee et al has better than "0.2db" channel separation at any and all frequencies. Obviously, that was a typographical error on your part. But what were you trying to write?Have you heard both t... | |
| Sota Reflex Clamp Loses Contact with Record I have used the SOTA clamp with a number of different tts, starting with a SOTA Star Sapphire. A few years ago, I noticed the very same problem to which you refer. As others mentioned, I found that by applying some downward pressure while activati... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... No regrets, Are you absolutely certain that the belt is not slipping? If it's neither the belt nor binding up of the bearing assembly, then have you been able/are you able to measure the electrical output of the PS when it is running well as compa... | |
| Raven Black Night Dgad, you wrote, "VTA is adjustable from the turntable with zero variation in HTA while adjusting VTA." First of all, what is "HTA"? Second, and more important, do you mean to imply that the platter moves up and down to allow for a change in VTA? ... |
