| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I just finished my testing with a multi-meter (I couldn't locate a variac) and found between 115.6 and 116.7 volts. Better yet, I used a 500W AC automatic voltage regulator (and plugged the motor in): no change. It still spins too fast, somewhere ... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I'll try but, to be honest, I am fed up with this turntable. Thanks. | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster After oiling the main bearing and the spindle, no change whatsoever. I give up.I am going to buy a new turntable from another brand. I don't have the slightest clue why this is going on.Thanks all. | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Thanks again, Stefanl. Now, I get it for sure (what I thought I understood is certain now). I will oil both the spindle and the main bearing with Mobil 1 (with teflon). I'll let you know what my results are. | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Thanks, Stefanl: I did read it in the manual. However, I am not sure what "main bearing" means. Where is it located: under (pardon my ignorance)? Please elaborate on the coating of the spindle.As for warming up the system, it has been back out on ... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster I did try that already, Almarg; thank you. It does spin closer than what it should, but still not at the correct speed. Without the Speed Box II, it's definitely too fast.I also tried the other AC adapter: same result.I unfortunately do not have a... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster Thanks for your input, guys. But, Stefanl, lubricant to the bearing? Where exactly? Please elaborate.Mofimadness: there's really no need for a strobe disc. My ears (and a couple of others) have indeed verified the (much) increased speed.Dweller: I... | |
| Music Hall mmf-7 spins faster It is indeed in the right groove, Eddaytona: the smaller one (and the larger one, as indicated, when I am using the Speed Box II).And, Stefanl, thanks: I will try your trick. However, I am still not sure why it would spin faster: on the Billie Hol... | |
| Upgrades/Mods for a Dyna ST-70 Series II tube amp Thanks (all).Haipo: AVA doesn't support the Mark II (because the design was stolen from them).Any other info? | |
| Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2? Any idea? I am thinking of a McCormack UDP-1 which would be connected to the DAC2 through its analog outputs for playing Redbook CDs and as a standalone SACD player through its digital outputs. Am I making sense? | |
| Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2? Actually, much better than I hoped for: the Planet 2K is another animal, much better in detailing the transients and with a "rounder" but clearer low end than before. In all fairness, I have to acknowledge that I (also) upgraded both the Planet 2K... | |
| Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2? I'd settle for an affordable CD/SACD transport (after a lot of reading in the specialized press and turning cold about DVD-A); but, I have yet to find one that I could pair my DAC with or another one of similar value, since I am not sure it'd work... | |
| Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2? Anyone with an affordable ($1-1.5K range) but very good to excellent CD/SACD/DVD-A transport (only) or player to match with the DAC2 in lieu of the Planet 2K? Please advise. | |
| Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2? Concerning my last post, I meant an affordable but very good to excellent CD/SACD/DVD-A transport (only). | |
| Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2? Thanks, Kurt. I really want to use this setup for now (Planet 2K/DAC2/AP Oval Digital) and later move to a dedicated universal transport. My only concern is that I have not seen many of those: a transport only CD/SACD/DVD-A. If you know of any exa... |
