| Can anyone compare The Benz Lp vs. the LpS I'm sorry I can't comment on the sound differences between the two cartridges. I would mention to keep in mind that the LPS weighes quite a lot more than the Ebony Lp. Make sure your arm can handle the extra weight. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I absolutely love my Artemis Labs Ph-1. It's an all tube design using 6n1p's, 12ax7's and 5687's giving about 52dB of gain without the use of any step up transformers. Loading is completely adjustable by simply plugging resistors in the back panel... | |
| Classification of Benz Micro cartridges I wanted to edit my previous post but didn't know how. Everything I had said is accurate except for this sentence..."Benz Wood SL, Wood SM, Wood SH are the same as the Ebony, Ebony TR, and Ebony H but uses the Bruyere Wood vs. the Ebony Wood bodie... | |

| Visiting with friends and Walker Audio So what was it in Mr. Walker's system that made you comment " But what we were listening to in Lloyd's system simply was operating at an entirely different realm of performance. The resolution, transparency and accuracy were simply stunning. What ... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? I have a Mac MR67 tubed tuner that when listening to classical music or jazz via the public radio station, it simply blows away my digital front end. But as nice as it is, it doesn't come close to my analog set up. | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hi Lewm,I just got home from listening to a 17 piece jazz band playing charts from Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and the like. Great fun! I'm going to spin a few albums now and try and take some measurements as you suggested and see what happens.I ... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hi Dan ed,"No_regrets, how do you get the controller to work properly again after one of these slow down episodes?"I shut the supply down, pour myself a drink to calm my frustrations, and after a period of time, sometimes a couple of hours later o... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hi Raul,Thank you so much for your suggestion about the variable pots. To be honest, I never thought about them going out of spec. That's a great idea. I'm not sure if I have the problem in 45 speed as I don't often listen to 45's as I do the 33's... | |
| Raven vs. Verdier La Platine Thanks Stiltskin. I hope you post somewhere on the forum your impressions of the 1/4" tape drive. I look forward to hearing more about it. | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Syntax, thank you for sharing your experiences with me.Raul, the people at Linn are of no help to me because the motor and powersupply are not from Linn. I have talked with the people of Pink Triangle who is now known as the Funk Firm. They no lon... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hi Lewm,Thank you for your response. My table is a Linn LP12 that was modified by Pink Triangle with a Pink Link DC Battery Power Supply. I take excellent care of the bearing assembly and really do not feel it is the cause of the problem. The inne... | |

| DC motors and outboard power supplies... Hello Raul,Yes, I am having issues with speed control in my rig. So, as I am trying to sort out these issues I am contemplating getting a new table but can't help but wonder if I might not have simalar problems with the new table. Therefore I ask ... | |
| Raven vs. Verdier La Platine I'm curious about the speed stability with these two tables as well. How often do you need to fine tune adjust the speed to assure that the table is maintaining the correct speed? Do you need to do it before every listening session? During session... |
