| 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... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Silverprint, I have not done the listening tests necessary to have a valid opinion myself, but the prevailing opinion is that some coupling between tonearm base and bearing/motor is preferable. IOW, those designs you may see with the tonearm mount... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Cpk, If you beat me to it, let us know how it sounds in slate. My slab is sitting on the floor in my living room, but a little thing like needing to write a chapter for a medical text is keeping me away from installing the SP10 into it. | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Silverprint, As far as I know, graphite has some excellent qualities for audio use, but I don't think it's very dense. In other words, the weight per unit of volume is not great. Therefore graphite might not be so good for mass loading. This is no... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Pryso, Thanks for that input. I was unaware that the rod in Albert's plinth actually goes thru to the bearing housing. Very ingenious. So you're correct; that IS different from what Raul has done. You've given me some food for thought; a similar d... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Dear Radical, I had the impression from your first description that your SP10 plinth was made of some kind of metal, which is why I suggested you try wood or slate, not because I thought the mass was too low. So, what is it made of, in fact? Raul,... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lonestarsouth, Read the thread for an answer to your question. One person here sold a Walker Audio Proscenium after he got his SP10 MkII up and running in a custom wood plinth. This suggests that a properly set-up SP10 is competitive with anything... | |
| Transfiguration Temper Supreme cartridge loading Cable impedance is trivial as far as loading the cartridge. It's likely to be way less than one ohm. However, the fact that you have a significant loss of gain when you use a 10-ohm load (not surprisingly), indicates that the cartridge is over-dam... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Nice! Did you make the plinth?I've seen repro SP10 platter screws for sale in sets of 3 on eBay, but not in recent weeks. Check it out, anyway. Maybe Albert has a better lead. Failing that, you can probably fashion some using the proper metric scr... |
