| 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... | |
| Parasound JC 1 or Musical Fidelity KW 550? Elly, unless someone has tried both amps with the N802s, this is nothing but a popularity poll. Even then, that individual's taste may be different than yours.I've owned large, 3-way, five driver, floor standing speaker for years and have tried ma... | |
| Omni directional speakers Sonab speakers were well researched in their design. Read about them and their designer, Stig Carlsson, here.http://www.carlssonplanet.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=10571310094a7e07d0cbf02dd8bb9f14 | |
| RIAA Equalized Turntable Keith, unless your turntable has a built-in phono stage, it has nothing to do with the signal, RIAA or otherwise.All electrically recorded records are made with some sort of EQ to prevent overloads in the recording process. So the signal picked up... | |
| Speakers that can be placed against the wall? To be more specific regarding Unsound's comment, consider a pair of Vandersteen VSM speakers with a pair of Vandy subs. The VSM was designed as a surround speaker for home theater, thus voiced for on wall placement. Just as with any audio brand, n... | |
| High power mono amplifier for 15 inch dual sub? Check out Eagle or EKSC. They offer very good full range amplification but may be best known for use as woofer amps. | |
| idler wheel vs direct drive technics impressions Audiohifila, I happen to know Elliot and agree he is knowledgeable so should do a good job. That information eliminates #1 from my list. Personally, I believe the other reasons remain valid for learning it yourself.You obviously have a passion for... | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? Lewm, I had the same impression from Ralph's arm mount description and the same sense of caution. In ongoing design for my SP-10 plinth, I'm intending to bolt down the armboards (2) with brass machine screws. Each armboard will be 3/4" thick and r... | |
| idler wheel vs direct drive technics impressions Audiohifila, reasons to learn set up for yourself (siding with Stringreen, etc.):1. "Professional" set up is a meaningless term. Certainly a few dealers (such as Brook Berdan in LA area) have long experience and real knowledge, but how will you kn... |
