| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? The only differences I've been able to find between GT2000 & GT2000X are the better bearing, plinth, and tonearm in the latter. This has also been confirmed by someone who has worked on both. The platter and motor as well as the motor controll... | |
| Recs for a 2nd tonearm cart If the Miyajima would benefit from a heavier tonearm, you could put in the Ortofon and use a heavier headshell? The ZYX should sound great in the Reed. | |
| Recs for a 2nd tonearm cart What kind of music do you listen to? If you listen to classical or jazz, my first suggestion would be to add a mono cart. There are lots of great recordings that are only available in mono and playing them back with a mono cart really makes a diff... | |
| RIAA vs Columbia vs Decca Vintageaxeman,The Rek-o-kut Re-Equalizer does what you suggest, i.e., re-equalizes an already RIAA-equalized signal to another EQ curve. It could also be used in the tape loop of a preamp. But it's intended for mono LPs & 78s and sums a stereo... | |

So if you used the vacuum mat with the gunmetal pla... | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? No. I've compared it to a Garrard 401 with the same cartridge (SPU Gold) but with different tonearms and preferred the GT2000.I haven't seen either the GT2000X or the YGT-1 platter in real life. They're both pretty rare but do occasionally pop up ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I have the GT2000 and am quite happy with it, though I have not done direct comparisons with other DD turntables. The difference between the GT2000 & GT2000X is that the latter has a bigger motor shaft and plinth. The have the same platter, mo... | |
| EMT direct drive and Technics SP-10 opinions? Thanks! Even if I haven't heard your system or our music tastes are not coincident, there's still information in your experience and I'm thankful that you shared it. | |
| EMT direct drive and Technics SP-10 opinions? Lewm, I don't want to hijack this thread, but I'd very much like to know more about your experiences with these turntables: 1) Where exactly does the DP80 fall short? 2) Where is the SP10 Mk3 better than the MK2? 3) And how does the L-07D differ f... | |
