| 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? ... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 In other words, Nandric, messing about with platters is good, clean fun. Plus, having two turntables that both sound great but are qualitatively different from each other, is also fun. | |
| 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. |
