| Motor repair for Goldmund Studio TT /w Pabst motor As Willster suggests, the platters of the Studio and Studietto turntables are part of the (direct drive) motor system. And the Pabst setup is quite different from the JVC version (which is also quartz crystal speed controlled.) The MSRP of the Stu... | |
| Motor repair for Goldmund Studio TT /w Pabst motor Pabst is alive and well. The problem is that the motor used in that TT is no longer made and no parts exist for repair as far as anyone (including Goldmund) knows. The JVC motor which was later used in both the Studio and Studietto is available an... | |
| Mac 275 questions........ The short answer is: the ASL's are 200w/ch and the 275 is 100w/ch (and the Perreaux is 200w/ch.)Since the preamp is driving the Perreaux with the same volts as it's driving either of the tube amps, naturally the bass will sound louder relative to ... | |
| Mac 275 questions........ Rick, I won't speak for the others, but I don't understand what you've got running what ;-) Are you running the 275 on the main panelsand the (what?) driving the woofer towers? And you want to know why that should result in (apparently) better bas... | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? That's organ PIPE :-) no offense to my Catholic friends. | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Dan (LOL) I sent Mike Jon Rische's site and another DIY site as well. Your interpretation BTW is incorrect (as far as all the info I've read anyway). "half open" in the context of tube traps , means that half of the exterior curved surface has to ... | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Mike I've sent you an email. There are many DIY tube trap sites you can find searching Google. | |
| How do you move a 650lbs Rack on Hardwood... If the floor is smooth and level, just a steel plate on the bottom of the rack with a single 3/8" hole in the middle attached to compressed air source. Assuming the footprint of the rack is 21" x 24" = 504 sq.in. Divide 650 lbs by 504 sq.in. = 1.3... | |

| Tubes vs. Panels? Dave, my understanding is that tube traps eliminate excess bass energy by 'trapping' it within a (half open - half solid) tube. The energy then dissapates as it resonates up and down the tube -- sort of an organ pipe in reverse. Panels do not work... | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Dave, please share your source for that information. | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Panels are OK but they won't manage bass as well as tube traps. | |
| Koetsu Urushi + MC step up transformer Lew, probably what I should have said was that it takes different value resistors (across the transformer taps) to achieve the same load conditions for the cartridge as if it was simply driving a phono preamp. So your explanation of how to load th... | |
| Mac 275 questions........ Rick, first I want to add some information about the new 275's you may not have encountered:The two latest MC275's have 490V (vs. 420V) power transformers. They put out almost 90w/ch (180 mono) even with the stock power tubes. With the better curr... | |
| Genelex KT-88:Gold Lion/Monarch &re-issues Tvad, don't get me wrong -- for current product, I think the Shuguangs are great -- amd certainly the best value at $150/quad. BTW, what amp do you use them in?Neil. |
