| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Recently came across a pair of orphaned Electro-Voice EVS-16Bs - technically a bookshelf speaker from the early 1960s, but with a full cone 12" woofer, they'd easily pass as floor standers. After refoaming, rewiring and recapping, these sweet thin... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Received an e-mail this morning from Mosin. While it is not my practice to “out” people’s private communications to me, I trust that he won’t see it as an ethical breech to state he’s taken exception to my characterizing him as an “avenger” along ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Malcolm,You're right about generalizations. And my second sentence in the 2nd paragraph above should have contained wording that DF's experiment and conclusions were delivered as a postulation.The whole field of plinthing is subject to asking i... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II A gent over at Lenco Lovers did some experiments using a cement filled plinth. The results had interfering transmission in the form of rumble that had to be eliminated with further secondary layering with a softer foam layering underneath.His take... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II The reveal at last.No response needed.You're your own undoing in this one, Mosin.- Mario | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Mosin,It would seem that expansiveness on the DIY level also would lend to a give-and-take sharing of information. Instead we have two posts from you which “take on” Jean "line by line" as you say. The palpable tenor of which is clearly not to sha... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Well Mosin,Seems that a simul-post with Jean has left my caution moot. Seem's Jean is going to rock on, as well.All best,Mario | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Mosin,It is with no small degree of anticipation that many of us await the unveiling of your slate plinthed turntable, with hopes of a good, opened-source look inside. While I suspect that you may well be onto something with slate as a “superio... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Everyone,Well it certainly seems like old times a'brewin here.Mr. JStark wrote:"I do apologize if some of you find it not on topic.just sharing some ideas that worked for me. Not a Lenco project but some techniques will be implemented in that p... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Ah well,Can't have too many Carts. I did, however, finally pick up the right Pickering V-15 (625e) with new stylus that you mentioned on the old thread. While I enjoy the "tubey" sound, it's such light tracker (.75 - 1.4 grams) that I'll have to d... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Jean,Glad to see you've got bubbling pots on all burners. I just got hold of a NOS Ortofon FF15E MarkII. What's the difference between mine and your M15E Super Mark II?All best,Mario | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II My ode to the great bulk degausser was its possible role in curing my Rega 300 of mistracking a year or so back. After removing the hematite slug from the Rega’s anti-skate enclosure, I exposed the entire stub end to lengthy zaps from my demagger.... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi All,Happy Anniversary! Our four-year undergraduate program is completed. On to mastering the audio universe! With a bulk degausser in one hand and a Lenco in the other, nothing can stop us! Seem like ions ago since Jean cast his net and snagged... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi Jean and Happy New Year to you!Interesting that your DD dabbling mirrored some of my own recently, albeit that mine was an example much lower in the ocean strata – but certainly no bottom feeder to my ears – the Pioneer PL-518 (1977). This semi... |
