| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III This thread was about to fall off the first page. Mike and Albert, any time you do have anything to say about the MkII vs MkIII comparison, please let us know. My MkII is almost ready to go in a slate plinth. | |
| Uesugi UTY-7 phono stage Thanks for the tip, guys. I will be sure to visit Recofan in Shibuya, next time I visit my son in Tokyo. I've bought a whole lot of jazz records from Audio Union near the Ochanomizu station. Don't be too concerned; there are only so many LPs that ... | |
| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners Dan-ed, As an engineer, you know far better than I what's going on, but as I understand it, the job of the RIAA equalization network is to UN-"squash" that which was squashed during the conversion of the musical signal into grooves on an LP. So, t... | |
| Loading for Air Tight PC-1 Supreme Ianchang, The data that came with the PC-1 no doubt refer to the final load the cartridge "sees" when it looks at the phono stage input. With no SUT, all you need to do is insert a resistor in that range of values in parallel with the input of the... | |
| 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... |
