| Triplanar Problem Yes, I agree it is difficult to locate all 3 holes at once and then position the arm as one would like it. In fact, I am skeptical that I can do the setup within 0.5mm error, but I will certainly try. Having a little play in the screw holes helps,... | |
| Triplanar Problem Thom et al, Since I am thinking of re-mounting my Triplanar on a new tt, I have just re-read this thread. I came to Thom's post, where he says the following: "My point is that even the metal jig should not be trusted, because of sample to sample v... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hey Jean, You were going to tell us about some new ways to reduce resonances in the stock chassis. What's up with that? Also, how are you doing with Peter's PTP? | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? The difference most likely = marketing plus 120V compatibility. | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Ralph, It is always gratifying to hear someone else echo your own thoughts. The incredible image stability of the Triplanar is why I bought one so many years ago and have never looked back. I agree, like a good master tape, when all else is copace... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Raul, interesting to note that you even laugh en Espanol. We would be going, "ha, ha, ha!" | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Nandric, Great post. You've added a little high class culture to my day. That Richelieu was a card. (Means "comedian" in English slang.) But don't worry about Mike; he knows very well what he is doing and why. | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? You've probably seen the "shoot-out" (hate that term) that was done by a Japanese magazine in the 80s, wherein two reviewers listened to about a dozen of the top TTs of the day and ranked them according to certain qualities. (Someone will no doubt... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? Nkj, All I can say is, "Gulp!"; your Garrard is gorgeous. Unless you need the money to apply to your next purchase, I would say never sell that. It is as good as money in the bank and may be an appreciating asset. I see above that you like to keep... | |
| Well-Tempered Golf Ball? I'd have to dig up some of my Columbia 18-holes to play on it. | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 I would agree that the Kuzma Stabi Reference is a superb choice. Don't recall the model name of the Lurne' that I once auditioned, but I do think it was an early effort. Anyway, peace be with you. | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Nandric, I get it (finally), you are a big fan of Pierre Lurne' (hope I've spelled it correctly) and his turntable designs, which I think are suspended, belt-drive types. That's fine. In this case, the question of what upgrades work best for the G... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 I feel the same way as Mike. This is a fun adventure that does not really cost much in the long run. Of course, I don't have a Rockport or anything comparable to fall back on. What got me going was the surprising sonics of my Lenco L75 in a custom... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Logenn, I have to ask, but you don't really have to answer - which plinth did you ultimately buy, the one from Porter or the one from Dobbins? You cleverly omitted to mention that, and I can understand why you might not want to offend either party... | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Aguadiem, See Jazzdoc's post way above. If you are really planning on spending all that money to upgrade your Linn, you might want to consider another table entirely, like a Galibier et al. Otherwise, your system is very nice; go for it. |
