| 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. | |
| Technics SL-1200 vs. Scoutmaster @atmasphere, are you referring to the Oracle hard acrylic mat? Do you know that that weighs and the thickness? Thanks | |
| Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo Old audio urban legend: A modest turner with good antenna system will outperform a quality tuner with a crappy antenna. ;^) | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. I've owned three pair of Vandersteens and believe Richard recommended straight ahead. But he also recommended some distance from sidewalls which is addressed by others here. Some other speakers I've owned worked best aimed just behind my head... |
