| Turntable Power Cord Upgrade I fitted a Furutech IEC to my Technics CH10E (PS for Technics SP-10 Mk2a) for the sole purpose to find out for myself if an upgraded PC would have any sonic improvements to the sound. Nordost V1 PC vs. $10.00 PC were used for comparison and I didn... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? Without a responds from the seller, you are in a binding contract for 48 hours. I like to see offers with a specified time attached. This will prevent sellers to use offers coming in as leverage and tying up the buyer from making other offers. | |
| What to get after Mark Levinson 360DAC? Thank you Welcher for your input. Do you remember which model(s) DCS was auditioned? | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi Halcro, Congras on the Herzan! An amazing piece of hardware we TT owners all wish for. I have the Minus K and I have noticed the biggest difference in using this passive isolation platform is when the volume is turned up. You summed it up p... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Halco, Sorry to hear about the TT-101. Hope your Tech can return the TT-101 back to its original glory. We can only make assumptions why the TT-81 sound better than the TT-101. Could it be possible that the TT-101 performance deteriorated ove... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Peter,Sorry for the late response. I like to resolve my hum noise first before deciding on a USA made step-down transformer. I will reach out to JP at a later date to see if he can help. Thanks for asking.Norm | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Tried a new step-down transformer. It is now 98% hum free. A BIG improvement over the Elgar. Which confirms I have a broken Elgar. With ear pressed against the platter mat, I am still able to detect a difference between on/off. Would other TT-101 ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear PJ & Lewm,A step-down voltage transformer is on order. Thank-youNorm | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Lewm,Yes, the platter is stationary where the constant hum is travelled up to the platter mat.I'm in Canada where 117v is standard. I'm using an Elgar 600A power conditioner adjusted to the unit's minimal output voltage setting of 103VAC. There... | |
| Japanese voltage 100VAC Hi George,It's my understanding that Japan operates in dual AC frequency, 50&60Hz, as in their electronics. I should be good in that respect. Thanks.Norm | |
| Japanese voltage 100VAC Dear Cleeds & Normansizemores,Thanks for the reassurance that I'm not harming my electronics.Norm | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? To all Victor TT-101 owners: I’m hearing a “hum” when I press my ear up to the platter mat. Sounds like a transformer hum. Doubt very much this is normal. Would other JVC DD table owners please chime in and comment on this? All the electronics ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Halco, My primary TT is the Scheu Premier with Verus Rim Drive and Talea II tonearm sitting on a Minus K. I also have a Technics SP-10 Mk2a in a DIY plinth and EPA-100 arm. I will audition the TT-101 with a SAEC WE-506-30 arm. Eventually, a... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Halcro, I should begin by saying, “nice job on the granite plinth”, which I neglected to mention on my earlier post. The black granite matches the armpods beautifully. Thank you for the in-depth explanation to my inquiries. The reason for my... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Halcro,On another thread you indicated that you've transitioned from a metal skeleton metal frame plinth to a solid Granite plinth for your TT-101. From the picture, I didn't see holes in the circular Granite to accomadate hardware for securing... |
