| VPI JMW 10 I bought two upgrades from VPI which were easy to install on my JMW 10. They have an improved fulcrum point (bearing) and a dropped counterweight.Some folks criticize VPI for continually developing upgrades for their products. I see this as an adv... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Well, the OP suggests in the Subject "LP nobody ever heard of".And yet some mention albums by Sonny Rollins, Jefferson Starship, Captain Beefheart, T Rex, John Mayall, etc. I expect if those specific LPs were not big sellers they are at least know... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Halcro, do you have any idea how that tower plinth builder now has access to bolt/unbolt the motor unit or change wire with the tonearm if necessary?Form does not seem to follow function?!? | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi Dgarreston, Your idea for damping the SP-10 frame is similar to what a friend (physicist) suggested to me some time ago to damp unwanted vibrations. He suggested using Devcon Flexane 60 to the underside of a surface to be damped. The listed pro... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables A further point following Viridian and Ct. When I first became interested in DD tables Corian was often mentioned as a recommended plinth material. But then I read more than one negative comment on that. Further reading disclosed that Corian inclu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Some of this judgement makes me wonder how many of us 'goners met Raul face to face? I felt fortunate to have three meetings with him, first at a friend's who introduced us. second when he came to my home, and third when a group of us went out to ... | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 Thought WZJ was a Min-i-so-tan. | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions My FET 10 had adjustments for load resistance and capacitance. There are four small slider switches (I used a toothpick to move them) for each in one red block for each channel. More than four settings are available by multiple combinations of the... | |
| Threshold FET 10/e cartridge amp questions Hi Etnier,I owned a FET 10 for several years, then sold it to a friend who still has it in his system. Mine was not the "/e".I've heard of others who's Threshold phono stages became noisy as they got older but mine was/is dead silent. So I expect ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul survives!Yes Lew, I received a greeting from Raul as well. Nothing personal but nice to learn he is active, even if not on Audiogon. I just returned from a holiday visit with family and found his message yesterday. | |
| Philosophy: Bearing vs. Unipivot Ralph, I respect your broad knowledge so could you explain "horizontal cutting speed"?Obviously the rotational speed of the platter in cutting (and playback) should be constant. But groove spacing is not (a challenge for tangental arms). As I unde... | |
| Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IV Yes, changing out a driver with a new replacement is a task most should be up to. Just pay attention to the wiring (taking a photo of the original may help) so you don't reverse phase.As mentioned earlier, I'm not as familiar with DAL as Duntech m... | |
| Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IV Seadweller, I'm more familiar with Duntech than DAL but I believe John did tune/match all his drivers and crossover parts in DAL models too. So replacements should be done with caution.As Rcprince stated most common may be foam surround failure fr... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation "with my aids up to 4 EQs are possible"I just read Broadstone's reply and realized someone might misinterpret what I meant to say just prior to that. My devices have four unique memory settings. Any combination of frequency gain or reduction, nois... | |
| Hearing issues and signal attenuation Obviously you need to do what you are most comfortable with, so I'll just offer this.The first audiologist I visited seemed intent on selling me the most expensive aids possible. That was over $6K more than a dozen years ago. I think when I tried ... |
