| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Halcro, i had a shallow pastiche once, but i traded it for a '67 mustang and a carton of Luckys :) seriously, though that was an awesome post and well considered. i am iching to hear how mm's sound on my recently completed LCR phono stage.mike | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? This is an interesting thread in that I had planned to send Halcro a PM asking who he was sending his DDs to for repair. I once did a global search for 2SK147 (a low noise FET). At the time they were, as Lewm said, available if you searched for th... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I used 42 g - thats about 1.5 OZ. A guy on Lenco Heaven said that he tested the original spring pull at ~35g.

| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Finally had a chance to listen to the spring mod.Hey, First impressions;Using a 42 gram weight. Greater space between instruments = lower noise floor, VTA adjustments easier to hear. Improved macro dynamics, slightly wider stage, slightly better b... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I am about to diy the spring mod. I was going to wait for the all-out "MC" Lenco I have on the drawing board, but after talking to John I decided to try it on my current "MM" Lenco that is on my bench right now. I will be able to compare it to the... | |

| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II It seems like the plinth is still evolving. I asked a question on Lenco Heaven recently regarding making a plinth out of hardwood only - and there was/is speculation that Jean might be making his plinths like that now. Salvator's plinth looked lik... | |
| EAR 834P Impedance? Doak - I read your post above with interest but find myself somewhat confused. My translation of the above is as follows: - Set to MM, the 834's impedence is 51K. - Set to MC with the XF switched in, the nominal impedence is = 125 ohms.Is this c... | |

| Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? The best answer I have ever heard is that some of the coatings used in the olden days are too environmentally unfriendly to be used in modern production. Another thing that you cant discount is the knowledge gained by experience of the toobe maker... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II My effusive congratulations above were an unsuccessful attempt (so far) at goading Jean into spilling the beans regarding the new innovations he incorporated into A. Salvatore’s “Super Canuck” Lenco :) Ulterior motives aside, I’ve had some time to... | |
