| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system The LFT8b cost far too little for what it can do. Thigpen is brilliant and it is a shame that these speakers do not get more attention.@lewm I use a pair of Beveridge Model 3 speakers with RM s DD amps by passing the internal step up and crosso... | |
| FR 64s tone arm lift servicing Thanks, on the linkI've ordered that one. I'm determined to repair the original. When done I will document the process for others.Thanks. | |
| FR 64s tone arm lift servicing Hi @nandric ,My question more specifically is how to get the plastic plug out from the bottom without breaking it. Thank you. | |
| FR 64s tone arm lift servicing @nandric thank you.Do you have any specifics on how you got into the mechanisimRight now the bottom pressed slug looks like the way in and it appears to be a one shot deal at the time of mfr. If I attempt to get it out it looks like it willl be d... | |
| FR 64s tone arm lift servicing No leaks I've read that it takes a more viscous material- even greaseThanks for investigating. | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms Thank you @rauliruegas I will experiment with those geometries. | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms Thanks for the tips @lewm @ddriveman and @nandric I have the Smart Tractor. I'm not sure what the appeal is for the mint - its difficult to use. The wally scribed templates are much better for this type - alas they won't be available again. | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms This thread still propagates. I have just purchased a FR 64s.@lewm ,@syntax with your experience what PS overhang and geometry are you using with this arm? No head shell with it but I do have the VTA lifter. I've ordered a Jelco to get started and... | |
| Maplenoll Setup Could be lots of things. Start at the pump with nothing connected and if you get pressure work your way to the arm and table eliminating each piece.There is a valve at the table to adjust flow to arm vs. bearing make sure that it is operable.It sh... | |
| Value of Futterman Amps I would say it depends, somewhere around where @roberjerman was at and where atmasphere is at is close to the truth. If they are a basket case then all bets are off. The Orion bluebook has nothing to do with retail prices. Ebay or Audiogon have m... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? @mmporsche you will get many opinions as you observed. What I understand is that this is new for you, quality is important & set and forget is paramount. With your budget it may not be a bad idea to touch and feel some of these tables by trave... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? This is funny, everyone is prepared to spend your money-LOL.$25K is healthy budget. My only advice is to listen to as much equipment as you can understanding that you will never duplicate the environment- so you only get the shadings of the illusi... | |
| Best Arm for a VdH Frog Grace tonearm?, not sure of the original poster's budget but why not recommend the Mayware Formula IV and Magnepan arm as well?- If the Dynavector is too fiddly then a 30 year old arm would be worse.. sheesh.Ninetynine find yourself a respectable ... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono cable to Aesthetix Io? Balanced in - on phono for this design is over-ratedI like the new KLE phono RCA connectors on some braided silver and cotton sheathed wire I am using now for the Io on the Kuzma 4 point and Brinkmann 12.1 arms I have currently.I have experimented... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono cable to Aesthetix Io? I have used both - for me I really was not able to resolve much difference with this phono stage. Admittedly, the balance connections were made with Hovland Music groove cable and the unbalanced everything from home brew silver and cotton to Carda... |
