| Considering A SS amplifier @decooney The only other consideration I got is speaker wire. Use Wireworld Eclipse Series 8. But need an 8 meter run so thats not a cheap test as I cannot find a run of that length on the used market | |
| Considering A SS amplifier @millercarbonI have owned plenty of tube amps and pre amps over my 30÷ years in this hobby. Spent a decade enjoying SET based systems. I find tubes no longer speak ro me in terms of how I enjoy music. My preference. Of course speakers define what ... | |
| Considering A SS amplifier So far I have used it with the matching BHK Signature pre amp, along with one from Edge, and a passive from Placette Audio. So far I prefer tbe Halcro. Also ran a dozen tube chouces through it and the Telwfunken work best. Cables from Wireworld, T... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive "I did different thing and it’s not just about mass, because the SP-10 MKII does not have additional layer of the different material on top surface of platter as mk 3 model so i just used Micro Seiku CU-500 to upgrade it.As the result, the platter... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Why you did that ? You could just add Micro Seiki CU-500 gunmetal mat on top (perfectly matched). Here is mine. The weight of CU-500 is 2.7kg and it's 5mm thickness. That was huge upgrade for my stock SP-10 mkII.When you're using not original pa... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Turntables are holistic creatures, and placing a high level of importance in a specific design feature narrows our understanding of how things are ultimately sorted out in our analog playback systems. Another interesting tidbit on patter mass come... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive In the past I would have dogmatically agreed that platter mass was a key point for good analog playback. I still think its a key contributor. However the Well Tempered Reference has shown me that is not a bit t Truth. I bet its platter does not we... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive @lewm Total 14.8 kg (Chassis 5 kg, Platter 9.8 kg); Power Supply 0.5 kgSo 21.6 pounds.I even checked my math with a conversion program! | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I have owned all three drive types, and am of the opinion that the DD tables such as the Denon DP 75 and 80 are an excellent value. I suspect the two part platter isolates the record and cartridge interface from the effects of motor vibration that... | |
| Reasonable moving coil cartridge For about $350 you can get an Audio Technica OC9 II cartridge, and its a mighty fine sounding LOMC for that kind of money. Boron cantilever and microridge stylus, its hard to believe you can get one for this kind of money. Heck retippers would cha... | |
| Bare cartridge design, Sumiko Blackbird Low Output I have owned a couple of the Blackbirds, but they were the HO version. Very nice sounding cartridge, reminded me a lot of my ZYX, similar kind of voicing. As I remember the wires are pretty well protected by a channel guard. There are not flying ... | |
| Casual Listening Attempt #2 Brinkmann Audio So this afternoon I moved the table off the Graham Slee Accension and Elevator phono stage. Moved that combo over to a Well Tempered Reference with Ikeda 9 Kawami cartridge, which I know works very well together. I then installed the Brinkmann/Aud... | |
| Casual Listening Attempt #2 Brinkmann Audio Just roughed in the set up this afternoon. Installed the ZYX first but its a bit spirited on this table. Put the Ortofon A90 on it and its a very nice sound. Excellent combination of refinement, smoothness, and detail. This ia not a table/arm comb... | |
| Casual Listening Attempt #2 Brinkmann Audio I have the micrometer option. Its great for small vta changes. | |
| Casual Listening Attempt #2 Brinkmann Audio Was a share. I am curious to see how this works out as its design is a bit different than my SP10 MK II or DP75. Would be nice to find a source for alternate arm boards, especially those made from different materials. Have struck out finding any t... |
