| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lewm, Cool. Thanks for the additional info on the mod. I understand Bill is working on introducing a similar mod for the mk2 according to Albert. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Sonofjim, Thanks for your input. I have changed back and forth a couple of times between the cu-180 and BA-1 and still prefer the cu-180. Maybe I should try the BA-2 one of these days.Lewm and Sonofjim, Do either of you guys plan on having Bill Th... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lewm, Fair enough. I like what I'm hearing and will stick with it ;).I don't see any harm in experimenting with it if you care to. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question From what I found online it looks like Micro Seiki went out of biz in 2001.It must be a copy. | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lewm, The cu-180 is 4 lbs. I had the same concerns about too much weight affecting the servo in a negative way. In practice this is simply not the case. If anything it's affecting it in a positive way.I had some TI Sheild that I put under my Bosto... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question IMO the cu-180 is way better than the Boston Audio mat1 in my system. The Boston mat is good but the cu-180 blocks EMI coming from the motor. Also IMO it is not too heavy for the SP-10 mk2. In fact the extra weight may be a benefit. I think it smo... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Nandric, Which hobby should I consider? How about stamp collecting? No, I may get those wet from crying about having no music. ;)I'm glad you're having success with your setup. Maybe I'm over thinking it too much.I'm also really enjoying my Reed 3... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Nandric, I don't pretend to know what is best either. I was just commenting on what some successful designers are using. I have played with constrained layer design in my plinth and armboard and I believe it works well. That said I am sure the Ree... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Lewm, Yes that is exactly what I was referring to. I noticed that the new Telos tonearm base is made out of stainless and is very substantial. There must be something to it. Also on the NVS they started with wood armboards then switched to stainle... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Hi Nandric, I once spoke with Joel Durand who makes the Talea and Telos tonearms and he was of the opinion that stainless steel is an ideal material for an armboard for his arms. I imagine the Reed arm pod is quite good. Unfortunately I can not ac... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? I'm pretty sure the base of the Reed is made out of stainless steel. Aluminum would be much lighter. A stainless steel arm board would be real nice but would cost a pretty penny to fabricate. Steve Dobbins uses stainless steel arm boards on his la... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, Thanks for your thoughts. It is very easy to change stylus on the Empire so I may try that.Sean | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, Since you have both the original and aftermarket stylus as well as all three kinds-DI,DII,DIII can you describe the sonic differences? I have not heard any but my Astatic 4000DII.Regards,Sean | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, My Astatic 4000dii is an aftermarket replacement stylus for an Empire cartridge. I assume Don's DIII is also.If I had to guess which MC cart Raul is not naming it would be the Ortofon Anna. I'm not sure why Raul is teasing us:). I recently h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Don,I have my DII on my Reed 3Q. I was concerned that the compliance would be to high for this arm but it seems to work fine. I only have about 6 hours on it so far. It's to soon to make any firm judgements but it sounds good so far.Regards,Sean |
