Townshend Rock Mk III table upgrade
I have a pump with a presta female end, but on the table, I dont see that little piece that comes up out of the threaded tube on a presta valve. The one you unscrew to fill and tighten after your done. Is there supposed to be one? 
Anyone listened to PSB Synchrony Ones?
Based on their construction, there is some similarity between the PSB Synchrony series and Magico. Use of curved, heavily brace, multi laminate enclosures to get rid of enclosure resonances. Is there any similarity in the sound. I would especially... 
Townshend Rock Mk III table upgrade
And I assume the little stub thing sticking out the back top of the plinth is an air valve to fill the seismic air bladders. Do you know how to fill those. A regular bicycle pump doesnt work. Also, the flashing light on the front, is that to tell ...

Both my PS Audio GCPH and SimAudio LP5.3 have balanced inputs and outputs. My Classe 30 has balanced inputs and outputs and my Classe CA100 has balanced inputs. I assume they are electrically correct. So if I run this balanced phono cable from my ...

What are the $5000 options

No, I mean what cartridge puts out a balanced signal to run into the balanced input of the preamp 
Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used
Where do you find a phono cartridge that has balanced outputs? While my SimAudio lp5.3 and PS Audio GCPH both have balanced outputs, I have yet to see a cartridge or tonearm that has balanced outputs. And if there is, what is the advantage I could... 
turntable motor speed
So the problem is that it doesnt react fast enough to changes in load? I would be interested to see what actual fluctuations exist in load when turning a fairly heavy platter. I would think inertia alone on a 20lbs platter would smooth out any inc... 
Transrotor Fat Bob S or ZET 3.1. Differences????
The Fat Bob uses the TMD magnetic bearing system, whereas the Zet has a traditional bearing. Theoretically, the TMD bearing should be quieter at the vinyl groove. 
Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference
As a recent buyer of a Transrotor Fat Bob, I agree with all that was said about its performance above. Fit and finish is superb, and it is as quiet as I have ever experienced. dynamics are startling. Well worth the purchase price. Currently using ... 
turntable motor speed
there are a number of fancy dc voltage converters that contain an input to run a wire back from the motor to the converter to ensure that the rated voltage is maintained. Would these converters be useful as a power supply for a turntable motor. I ...
