| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Switching the voltage can be done, but you will have trouble reaching 33.3 because the tapered shaft that the idler wheel runs on is a different taper for 60hz vs 50hz. See the motor threads and the old "Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Des... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Yes, Jean its a threat to me! How do you cope when a $47 thrift store rig is more musically enjoyable than your all out assault audiophile system? The speakers are Dynaco A-35's bought by my older brother sometime in the early seventies. I my poss... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Whatever. My post was about my Fisher 500C - which I got up and running using the Sheldon Stokes power supply mod. I thought some of the tubes were dead but they all tested good. It sounds surprisingly good in a nostalgic kind of way - think of a ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hey moderator.My post from 1/15 was on topic - we discuss vintage phono amps here.Post my message.Mike | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Thanks Mario, very thoughtful - but I am actually from DC. No telling when I will get back to NYC. I didnt even look in the rear view mirror on the way out of town :) | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II That's hilarious Mario - just plop the whole thing down on a VPI :) I concur with Jean's answers above - however you might consider putting the lazy susan under an intermediate base which seperates it from the Lenco itself. Now to coriolis effect ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hey Mario, it could conceivably make it sound better a la the Symposium footers - if the bearings dont vibrate. How do you intend to dress the phono IC wires? If I understand your intent - to rotate the table to address the different arms?Mike | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I found a post on the Hi-Fi World forum that says that people are liking Singer Sewing Machine Oil on Garrard motor and idler wheel shafts. Mobile One on the main bearing. I hadn't seen the Singer oil mentioned before (supposedly recommended by Lo... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II So Jean, are you saying that you are no longer using the neoprene to bridge the gap between the bottom plate and plaint (when necessary)?Mike | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II That is very interesting - a standard trick for the Garrards. For 120V/60hz I am planning to try this as I will be setting up my 401 with the Lencos when I finally get unpacked enough to finishing the woodworking.Mike | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Cool, Jean. I figured as much re the marble thingies but didnt find anything exactly the same on ebray or Amazon. Sometimes I feel the pinch living in a decidedly un-cosmopolitian geographic area. The post office lady looks at me like I'm Magellia... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Jean, I notice that in the latest pics of your dynamic duo the acrylic part of your footer system seems to be missing(?) Is this a new development? Also, I have begun to look around for thin marble slabs like the ones you use. What are they and wh... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Bravo, Jean. "Declare defeat" made me think Eclair Eclat. I think I must have a talent for this naming thing :) So, any other Garrard Jean-o-tips except the mat? What about feet?BTW: Will we ever get off of page three?Mike | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Ohhhhh… that Red Green :) Sounds humorous. As to being down south too long - I gist bought me a steel geetar. No kidding, a '71 Emmons "fatback" out of the local Pennysaver - yeee haar! Sort of analogous to an early telecaster in terms of sound an... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Humm... now that you say it, I see the gauss field in my mind too - but what if one made a modified L shape to fit mostly over the coils without interfering with the spindle? Someone with a gauss meter could make quick work of this speculation... ... |
