| Turntable and Rack vibration control I get it that throwing mass into a plinth or stand is one way to hifi Nirvana for some. That said, I am convinced that mass alone ain't the answer, neither damping. Of course the balance is important.In pursuance of this are people designing plint... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I got a QL10 with a Audio Technica ATP12t arm for around £1000UKP this included postage... see aboveUPS have acknowledged the damage - I wonder what next | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I have told them to do the works so to speak. I didn't get the TT101 to skimp. I got it because I liked the design and technology that has not been repeated since. They have done a once over thus far and an estimate. To their credit they don't pe... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? GOOD NEWS!!!Wilkinsons are able to repair my JVC tt10. Andrew informed me that someone must have either dropped it badly or put a hammer to it...

| Has anyone else tried DNM solid core cable? The musical coherence of the Dnm is what sets it apart. I bought some nordost heimdall 2's. More bass, faster, more transparent yes yes yes. However a chocolate cake ain't always tastier when it is bigger, sweeter, creamier or More salty (yes cake... | |
| Best mc retip service LOL NandricI do think that certain re-tippers get more publicity than others. I didn't know about 'Expert' until this thread TBH. The expensive re-tipper was based in the UK - it is a sad fact at present in the UK industry is such that as soon as ... | |
| Best mc retip service Dear nandric I haven't posted on the basis that somewhere else there are prettier girls. In fact I post on the premises that I go for performance and personality over looks😏😉 | |
| Phono preamp question Linn and the associated 'flat-earthers' form the view 'rubbish in = rubbish out'. That being the case improvements upstream (closer to source) ought to improve the sound.In my experience this is true - a better phono stage makes an incredible diff... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget In terms of going second hand you have a wonderful selection available. For a 'big stage' a good phono stage is essential. I had an EAR 834P which has that big stage you are looking for. I own the original Whest phono stage on which I did a review... | |
