| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Perhaps the original question should have been: Why do belt drive turntables have a reputation for better sound quality than direct drive turnatables? (This ignores the rim drive fans who are definitely a niche market group). With the question phr... | |
| What Turntable to buy under $600 ? Oh I have had a laugh reading all this. Poor bloke asks for advice on a mid price TT and it descends into a farce. I have three cheap to mid price turntables set up. Two excel at particular types of music and one is superb at all types of music. 1... | |
| Why so few record cleaners for sale? Try the KEV1 from KABUSA.com. A nitty gritty without the vacuum. You plug in your own home vacuum. First wash your record in a Knosti Discoantistat then dry them on the KEV1. The results are amazing. Your records are pristine, static free and stay... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Here, just for Pyschicanimal is part 2 of the saga of the “posh” feet. The ideal for a turntable, arm and cartridge is to turn those minute wiggles in the groove into an exact electrical facsimile. That goal has been pursued through the years by s... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 I think we are going off the thread with the room correction thoughts but if you will allow, I have one idea that may be of interest. I promise this will be the last one. I have an experiement that most people should be able to try at some time th... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 That is amazing. I still wonder, however, for us living the suburban dream if a more sensible approach is to set a level of expenditure and then decide if above that level there is a discernable improvement as opposed to a different sound.If, for ... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Jphii,My God!! and I thought I was weird in the money I spend on my gear. That rig must be worth more than my House! I hope he has got a specialist audio consultant to design and build a dedicated listening room, it would have to be the equivalent... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 I want to ask a question but have no technical knowledge so forgive me if it appears stupid.It seems to me that the finest sounding products are DC powered. Kevins PS1200 for the SL 1200, external phono stages, headphone amps etc. Why could not al... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 For what they are they were pricey. With shipping in UK £90 which I think is about $150 US. A lot of people would baulk at that amount just for feet but they do seem to do more than just isolate. There is a definite improvement. Kevin is intereste... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 If anyone is interested enough to have a look at these feet, the web site address is: www.isonoe.com There are good pictures and an explanation of how they work. My appologies as my original article spealt the name of the feet incorrectly. There i... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 I have now had the replacement feet for 10 days and have done some comparative listening tests. First impressions are favourable.Based on "thump the turntable support whilst wearing headphones with the pickup stationary on a record" 1 Stock feet -... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 I have received the new isolation feet for the SL1200 and will report after I have some experience. Early signs are very encouraging. It is liable to be a few days before I can report as I have three different sets of feet to compare (standard, Ke... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Hey all you SL1200 lovers ut there. Kevin has showed me this link. You should have a look. I love Kevins sonic domes but they look kinda home made, these look the business. I have ordered some and will let you know if they work in due course.http:... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 Thanks for your input. Kevin is doubtful any improvement will be worthwhile. As for the AC input to the PS1200 I use a YELLO power chord from Russ Andrews. This is his bottom of the range job but superbly executed. I also use his replacement cable... | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 I have a query. I have fitted the KAB PS1200 power supply to my Technics SL1200 and the improvement is startling to say the least. I wonder if anyone has tried to replace the flimsy power lead from the supply into the turntable with something bett... |
