| Cleaning a old tonearm Schipo, just what are these "natural oils" on tonearm parts? A possible lubrication on pivot points I can understand but I am not aware of any natural oil occurring on metal parts themselves.For anyone concerned with providing a "protective" coati... | |
| Hearing Aids? Some thoughts from one who wears hearing aids -I've been in this audio hobby for nearly 50 years and have worn aids for the past seven. The question of comparing before and after is difficult to answer because for most of us, hearing loss is gradu... | |
| re: phono preamps; is vintage ss any good? Pkubica, a former employee of Threshold now operates a repair/upgrade service for Threshold and Forte products. He is located in norther California but beyond that I'm not sure. Suggest doing a search here and on Audio Asylum and you should find him. | |
| Reliability issues with VTL amps/pre-amps I've owned a pair of older VTL 300s for at least a dozen years. While they have had little use in the past couple of years they have been very reliable. They had one part failure which VTL replaced for free even though I was not the original owner... | |
| Last song on most LP's pressed with compression As others have suggested (stated), compression is not the problem. During the mastering process the speed at which the cutter head moves across the disc can be varied to compensate groove width for loud and soft passages. This is true across the r... | |
| Single plinth for multiple table/motors T-bone, I cannot speak from the experience of trying your idea but I foresee many downfalls -* Consider the variations in cutouts required for SP-10, 301, 124, etc. Your idea would require the largest cutout of these for your donut, something that... | |
| 78 RPM turntable Lots of table options if you look to the used market.But also consider that those 78s are not only mono but were cut with a wider groove (3.0 mil typical). So a dedicated 78 cartridge will benefit your listening.Next is EQ. A wide range of compens... | |
| Belts vs Direct Drive and correcting experiments In my research for designing a plinth for my SP-10 Mk 2, I've read about and talked with Albert, and read the L-07D site. I agree that installing some form of RFI shield should be beneficial.As Lohanimal points out DD motors are directly below the... | |
| The necessity of a plinth Interesting points Lew. Wish I remembered more of what I was supposed to have learned in Physics, i.e. energy travel. From what I understand from a discussion with Albert, his brass rod contacts the bottom of the bearing housing under the motor. H... | |
| The necessity of a plinth I previously posted a question on the need for a massive plinth for the SP-10 on a couple of sites but did not receive any definitive replies. While there is extensive information of plinths for Garrards, Lencos, Thorens, and other rim-drives, the... | |
| A spousal revelation ... and a tall order. Help I think one candidate should be Vandersteen. The model would depend on your willingness to buy used or new but look at both the 2 and 3 series. With their time/phase coherent and minimal diffraction designs, they can excel in imaging and soundstag... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Olde English might suggest tenfold. 8^) | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Ralph, your less than favorable comments on the "OEM plinths for the Technics" must have been intended for the Teak plinth. I first read it wrong, thinking you meant to reply to Lonestarsouth on the SAEC SBX-7 since that was an OEM plinth. That co... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lewm, allow me to reiterate my understanding of both Albert's and Raul's designs, having communicated with them. This may stimulate their responses if I misunderstood either one.Albert installed a brass rod that attaches to an iron block at the bo... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Strobe adding noise? Wish I understood more about electronics to judge if this is likely.KAB offers a strobe disabler switch for the 1200 series tables. In response to my questions on this idea for the SP-10 series, friends with electronics knowle... |
