| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I was worried also about (i) how to bolt my Triplanar onto a slate surface, and (ii) whether the slate surface of the tonearm mount can be made perfectly flat and plane parallel to the turntable chassis. If I did it, I would use the "Reinderspeter... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II So, Mosin and Hxt1, based on your personal experiences with building from slate, it would seem that the prices of the two commercial products are not at all out of line. Would you agree? (Of the two, I favor Jonathan Weiss' plinth, because it is f... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Mosin, Yes I remember quite well the details of the argument between the Welsh and the US slate plinth-makers. The photo of the slate roof going to seed was a real hoot for its irrelevance and scare tactic. And I agree, from an empirical reasoning... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hxt1, No need to apologize here for what you may have written on the LL forum. The tete a tete between the Welsh and Pennsylvania slate deck makers on the Vinyl Asylum was pretty hostile and revealed two fairly closed minds. I am sure you slate-er... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II John, If your explanation of the cause of the sonic difference between Garrard and Lenco is correct, then then replacing the stock Garrard platter with a heavier one that does have its additional weight concentrated on its periphery (a la the Shin... | |
| Grand Prix Audio Monaco Turntable Downunder, Gosh those Stradivarii are beautiful to behold! Wouldn't the GPM pair quite well with your speakers and amps, since the latter are both on the "warm" side (in a good way of course)? | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hxt1, Which slatedeck are you using, the one made in the UK or the one made in Pennsylvania, USA? Neither is "cheap", as far as I know. | |
| Stereo Sound cart rankings Dear JCarr, During my visits to Tokyo, it is always surprising to me that the average Japanese audio salesperson has barely any knowledge of the Koetsu line, especially since they are made right there. (This knowledge was gained by having my son p... | |
| Phono Stage Cuts Out If it goes dead silent in one or both channels with no other signs of trouble, it's likely to be a relay that is malfunctioning. Not likely to be a capacitor problem. This fact is not a lot of help to you, because you will need to have a knowledga... | |
| Walker or VPI motor controller with scoutmaster? The Raven may come with its own outboard MC, as do several of the v expensive tts. But I'll let Elinor tell us. | |
| Used Record Stores & Audio Gear in NYC I am bummed to learn that Stereo Exchange no longer sells used gear. I used to love to visit there when in "the city". As someone else said, the salesman would be on you like flies if you demonstrated any interest in anything, but it was fun to br... | |
| Walker or VPI motor controller with scoutmaster? I own the Walker Motor Controller and would not be without it or some analagous device. A proper motor controller will not only help to maintain a stable speed but also causes the motor to run more smoothly with therefore fewer vibrations and less... | |
| The VPI Rim Drive Whoops! I was thinking of the Verus motor made by Teres. There's been less commentary on the VPI version. Sorry. | |
| The VPI Rim Drive There's been lots of comment on this board. You might find it by searching the archives. Most like it; a few don't (commpared to their previous belt drives). | |
| best MM cartridge... Dear Raul, Having read your post above on the "best" MM cartridges, I did a search for the Nagaoka line and found one company selling the MP-100 thru MP-500 models. (Each higher model number on the way between MP-100 and -500 costs more than the p... |
