| can anyone recommend tube amp for dartzeel preamp? this month's Stereophile has an Audio Research integrated that they think very highly of which is priced reasonably; under $5k. OTOH it may not be quite 'tubey' enough to give you that 'change of pace' you desire.as someone who has your same gear,... | |

| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths the copper-tops are platter surfaces, not mats. Steve sells a Garrard 301 copper-top platter that lowers the noise floor 4-5 db compared to a stock platter and sounds great. i don't think he makes any copper mats that i know of.all three tt's do l... | |

| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths i think Jfrech has it about right on the GP Monaco. i had one for about a year in my room. it's a really nice tt, fit and finish about perfect, great speed, low noise and neutral sounding in a good way. i 'prefer' my Dobbins SP-10 Mk3 for it's dyn... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Raul,ok, i get it about what you were referring to.OTOH it's clear we are not referring to the same thing at all.you are mentioning about the stock SP-10 and removing the bottom-plate of the stock case-work in hopes of improving performance.i am r... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Raul,to be clear; my comment on the nude (original case-work removed) SP-10 Mk3 referred only in the context of installing the nude SP-10 Mk3 inside a custom plinth. possibly that was inferred by your comment;Nice to hear that I'm not totally wron... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths i own 2 vintage tt's with Dobbin's plinths; a Garrard idler drive 301, and an Technics SP-10 Mk3 DD. i did also have a Dobbins plinth'd SP-10 Mk2.so why do these plinths improve performance over the basic stock tt or OEM plinths?my opinion, alread... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Let us go to photography. If you magnify an excellent photo, it will be bigger. My playback on the 2 track is "bigger" than the original, also the electronics in the reel have been upgraded. The playback is equivilant to an equipment upgrade. Is "... | |

| Reel to Reel decks Orpheus10 wrote;This only occurs with 2 track reel at a speed of 7 1/2 IPS or higher. This is partially the result of tape width. A cassette has narrow tape, a reel has wider tape. Most reels record in 2 directions; they use 1/2 the tape in the fo... | |

| Reel to Reel decks Orpheus10 said;One always uses headphones when making a tape. Vibration degrades all analog. If you are playing a record, and listening at the same time, the sound is degraded to a minute degree. If you record in silence, this does not occur.i agr... | |
