| 300 Watt Tube Monoblocks I had VTL 300 monos with KT-90 outputs for some years driving Duntech Princess speakers. A very enjoyable system. No information on recent offerings. | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers Initial set up very positive. My sister stopped by so I played one of her favorite Tom Petty albums (not my usual choice). She said, "It's so clear, I hear all the details. It sounds like they are right here in the room." Now I'm breaking in w... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) For anyone with an older "primitive" arm such as lewm just described, here’s a trick I read years ago for adjusting VTA. If there is space, use a deck of playing cards to secure the height of the arm before releasing the grub screw. Then add or r... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers @roxy54, I may owe you a vote of thanks. I just placed an order for a pair of Source Point 888s. Because of my age I wanted to simplify and downsize my system. I've not heard the MF Source Point models but have heard previous Andrew Jones' desi... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please lewm, JP may substantiate this but I believe his chip replacement is for the SP-10 Mk 3 and the SP-15. It is not a replacement for any of the SP-10 Mk 2 series. | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) @lewm, I speak from some experience since I own a 505. However it was used when I got it and the stub was not in the same plane as the arm tube. After some investigation I found MS designed it to be in a single plane, so I had mine repaired as n... | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Like an oil change in the car, every 5,000 miles. ;^) Sorry @inna, don't mean to make light of your question. But it seems as long as one is satisfied with the performance and nothing breaks or wares out, why replace? | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) A caution for anyone considering the MS 505. I've mentioned this elsewhere but repeat it here. I agree with Elliot that it is a very good arm. However many used examples have damage to the stub where the counterweight is mounted. This is easy ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please @laaudionut, "resembling DJ decks, which is not my preferred look, however. " Yes, that is unfortunate and has caused lots of confusion for those looking at Technics products. In fact the original SL-1200 was introduced in 1975 as a home audio p... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please @laaudionut, I don't have the broad experience like some (lewm) but hopefully can offer some helpful information. First, if at all possible I would encourage you to find a way to keep your 301 long enough for a direct comparison with whatever rep... | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series @atmasphere, such a "permanent" attachment would make it very difficult to ever remove the platter if needed. That seems risky to me but guess that is personal. I have a heavy, thick rubber mat from a SP-10 Mk 2 I need to dig out and try on my SL... | |
| MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers The importance of impedance, personal experience. Years ago I owned Duntech Princess speakers which I loved. They were rated at 90 dB efficiency but required more power than expected by that. I believe it was due to the response curve dipping j... | |
| HumminGuru vs.Degritter @daveyf and @johnss, what are your procedures for combining US with vacuum machine cleaning? Thanx | |
| Tonearms - SME 3012, Jelco, or Schick? A caution on the MS 505 arms for anyone considering one. I agree they can provide very good and convenient performance, but one thing to watch for. When I got mine the stub beyond the pivot point where the counterweight mounts was not in the sam... | |
| Frank is gone. AVA lives on! Many years ago I subscribed to his newsletter and admired his sensible approach to component design. But for some reason I never owned a AVA product. Still, sad to hear of his passing. |
