| Audio Technica AT 666 is loosing air Hi Rugyboogie, I also have an AT 666 that won't hold vacuum. Some time ago Raul suggested a new securement line around the perimeter but I have too many other projects ahead of this one. If your test identified the air intake valve, can that be di... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lew, while I'm certainly not an expert on the Micro-Seiki line, they did produce direct drive tables as well as belt drives. At least I can't find anyplace to attach a belt on the M-S DD-40 table and arm I have in house. ;^) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? As I related to Raul some time ago, my curiosity about MM/MI was raised long before his initial post here. I had noted different references to well-known mastering engineers using them, rather than MCs, in their work. Now there might be several re... | |
| 'dimple' tweeter fix It seems the first questions should be - is it audible?If only one was dented, is there any sonic difference between it and the undamaged tweeter.I used the bent (L shaped) straight pin once with a fabric dome tweeter, then applied a speck of glue... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Yes Lew, I realized and wondered about the same point after posting this time.So not to put words in Technics' mouth, perhaps they were referring to the 500 tone arms just as an example. That was wild enough without suggesting 2,500 arms could tra... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sebastien, I've offered this information to another post with a similar question.In the manual for my SP-10 Mk2A it states, "The quartz phase-locked control system and the DC motor with large torque can maintain each rated speed of the turntable e... | |
| Defunct Company Gear Value Hasmarto, a few thoughts, my perspective only.The issue about warrenty is a straw dog. Most audio gear has no more than a one year warrenty anyway so that may have little affect on used values.Overall brand reputation has a big influence. Case in ... | |
| Bass amp for a tri-amped system? I agree with bdgregory regarding the Eagle/EKSC amps. They match well with full range speakers requiring great power reserves (B&W 801 for example) but are particularly good as bass amps. Either the 2 series stereo or 400 mono blocs are powerf... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lew, thanks as always for your info.Not to start another war here but Bill's comments on the need to dampen vibrations seems to fly in the face of the advocates for "plinthless" installations touted in a different Audiogon Analog posting. ;^)That ... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sonofjim, do you have more than one system set up? Your system photos show a VPI, but neither of your SP-10s.I'm always looking for ideas/recommendations regarding the Technics. | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Goofy, from Lew's information and your ASR gain adjustment quotes, it is obvious that you should not NEED a SUT. Basic phono gain for HOMC (see Lew's description) and MM/MI cartridges will be around 40 dB. Typical gain for LOMC will be around 60 d... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Jonathan, re: the Denon 102. This quote comes from an on-line information article -"Basically, the DL-102 is a high output MONO moving coil cartridge which has incorporated both vertical compliance and a 0.7 mil radius stylus, making it compatible... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Jonathan, thanks so much for again sharing your insights on mono playback. For what would appear to be a fairly simple subject it can become quite confusing. And experience always trumps reiteration, which is mainly all I've been able to offer. | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Goofy, lots of questions on the mono subject and that is not as simple as one might first expect.Original mono cartridges were designed for lateral motion pickup only. Stereo cartridges added vertical motion pickup (although stereo is a 45/45 conf... | |
| Best vintage Sansui integrated In the late '70s I had a situation that forced me to downsize my system. Sansui had a poor reputation among "serious" hobbyists in the US then but a couple of Brit magazines gave very positive reviews. So I ended up buying an AU-717 to drive the u... |
