| Loose hinges in a Pioneer pl-12d turntable Dump the lid. It will sound better without an acoustic sail picking up sound waves and feeding it back into the plinth. | |
| Linn LP12/Lingo start-up/speed problems I had those symptoms when my Valhalla board died. You could look into the DC motor kits out there for a few hundred bucks for the LP12. They get good feedback but I haven’t heard one. | |
| Jelco TK-850L review @vasaudio Steve, $895 from George Merrill at GEM Dandy. But yeah. Be nice if it had C37 option but I don’t find what it has got to be lacking. Changing out tonearm wiring is a bit risky. What if one doesn't like it? I have tried a few more expensi... | |
| Jelco TK-850L review Bump on this. The Jelco TK-850 continues to impress. Played Nick Cave Murder Ballads for the first time since moving from the 750 to the 850 and adding a Classic Turntable Company platter to my 401 . Fast, dynamic, colorful and musical. If you are... | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? Cheapest was removing the cover from my phono preamp. Opened up the sound almost metaphorically. Refitting the lid closed in the sound. And never play records with a lid on your turntable especially closed. | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question @br3098 All good. | |
| Good DACs have known benefits, But what About Streamers Wrong Topic area ;-) | |
| my first analog setup , some advice please @dimitris7 (cough) | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question Interesting. Yet because the tube in question is not PVC, the added weight worked. Perhaps because the added mass is harder to excite allowing the stylus to move without wasting energy vibrating a lighter tube. Even if that tube was stiff. | |
| my first analog setup , some advice please I guess your dealer feels that for the money, you are in a good place. However, it’s weird that he/she didn’t try to upsell you something else. You could ask to loan test the battery power supply for your amp. However, adding that brings you into ... | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question @bdp24 I always thought an arm worked best the closer the counterweight was to the bearing assembly. That’s why I suggested a heavier weight to balance the heavier headshell rather than moving the existing one further away. | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question You need a higher mass arm. Deccas can sound bass shy in a low mass arm. Try adding more weight to the headshell - I use brass bolts- and add more weight to the counterweight. Surface noise comes with the territory. | |
| New cartridge or new turntable or both Grados tend to be somewhat dull in the upper frequencies. I'd hazard a guess that an AT540ML cartridge at $250 would bring a lot of life to your rig. Worst case, it's a fine cartridge to bring to another table if you decide to replace the Luxman. | |
| Looking for cartridge for VPI traveler +1 Nagaoka.If you like more detail and air, you may prefer the 540ML although the 740 is worth the extra $50 for a metal body. | |
| Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT?? @sunnyjim What did you end up doing? |
