| Turntable selection advise If you match the tone arm (stock technics is fine) with a good cartridge and decent phono pre the technics will give you excellent performance. I have my 1700 mk 2 set up properly and it can give my Sota nova a run for its money as a matter of fac... | |
| Phono Pre Amp? If you want a major leap try a bottle head seduction, I think theres one for sale right here on a gon | |
| idler wheel vs direct drive technics impressions So are you guys saying the lenco has better speed stability than the technics? | |
| help guide a vinyl newbie Its largely a matter of taste but I think the Denon stomps an lp12 (ive had both) A great phono pre will really pay back great listening dividends and your system can evolve around it. | |
| ZYX cartridges I thought redtops post funny and of course theres no way the shure outperforms the zyx until I read rauls post recommending the b&o's. Ive owned the shures iii,1v and v and the b&o 1,2,and 3 I found the shure's superior to the b&o's in... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? If you get a nice sut that is well matched to your cartridge you can use it with any mm phono stage so if you want to move up from the ear you can take it with you. As an example I found the Bottle head seduction to be a major step up (over the 83... | |

| Belt stretch John, you have offered no measurable explanation and per Ketchups post misinterpreted the data. If thats your version of logic I doubt we'd gree on anything. My mind is open to the possibility of these effects but I dont think enough testing has b... | |

| Belt stretch Mosin, Im not arguing that belt slip exists or that rubber deforms or that there is some theoretical friction from stylus drag. Im questioning the audibility of these conditions and other than "I can hear it" and attributing "it" to the afore ment... | |
| Belt stretch Geeze, I cant believe there's not one other belt slip skeptic out there. So you dont think that the idler sound may be attributable to something other than speed like say damping or ? I still havent heard anyone actually talk about a measured devi... | |
| Belt stretch Doug, I would love to do that thanks. Im hoping its understood that what I mean by belt stretch is that with a properly fitted belt in good condition the speed fluctuation as in the differential tensions discussed before would not be audible (exce... | |
| Belt stretch Im not saying there is no audible difference in sound between different systems or even belts. What Im saying is is that the audible difference isnt rpm related. Possibly coupling or who knows. Of couse you can hear if your tt is 1 or 2 rpm off, i... | |
| Belt stretch I dont doubt the theoretical possibility or even likelihood of differential belt tension what Im saying is that it isnt audible. I dont tune pianos but I do have perfect pitch and have spent much of my life in concert halls and enjoying Hi Fi. Its... | |
