Guys, its pretty simple, from the main Audiogon page, not the forum page we are on now, go to the Explore tab under which theres a sub tab labeled member look up, enter the moniker you want to look up and hit search, then once the member is found ...

Lyra Etna Versus Kleos
Have among others an Atlas and an Etna.  If your goal is resolution then the Atlas should be your choice it really gets every note out of the grooves.  The Etna I would clarify as extremely easy to listen to it has a great musical flow.Realize the...

Lewm,I think the two IC’s that are the hardest to find are the SC3042 and the TC5001 The rest of them are readily available today, Counters, Flip Flops, etc. I did a check on the third CMOS IC IC602 (C14046) that one is available even as a surface...

Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Aigenga and LewmMoving the power supply out of the TT101 should be fairly easy as its treated as a separate entity inside the TT101, the transformer and the +5VDC and the +/-12VDC regulators are on a separate board which supplies the Motor control...

In addition to the DP80, the SP10MK2 and 3 don't have any height adjustment via the bearing either.Good ListeningPeter  
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lewm, All the DD motors I've worked on, except the DP80, are made like this, the bottom cap that also holds the thrust plate for the bearing are used to adjust the rotor up / down with, which of course moves the platter up and down with it.  If yo...

Hello ChubakaYes as Bombaywalla started above we did make the Sierra Audio Denali Amplifiers, its bigger brother the Everest and the matching Preamp the K2,  These were made around year 2000 so any of them will have some mileage on them,  although...

Regarding the transistors used in the TT-101 I want to make sure that I can get the table working with the new ones installed, I'm still a little ways away form this.Once I get it going I'll let you know the appropriate replacementsGood ListeningP... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Aigenga,You tightened the bottom bearing well too tight, this one is used to set the height of the rotor inside the motor housing.  You should re-examine this assembly.  The reason that the bottom plug was secured with a "clay like material" was t...
