| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 Has anyone directed compared the sound of the Audiomods V vs. the new Jelco or even vs.the 750 series? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 So does anybody else have a suggestion besides those already mentioned? Cheers,Spencer | |
| Technics SP series mats? Lew, yes I did. Used it that way for about a year and a half before I sold it as I downsized for a relocation. Never had a problem. Our pal, dgarretson, gets partial credit / blame :-) for helping me down that path.Those who heard it heard how it... | |
| Technics SP series mats? Not sure which Technics rubber mat I had with my SP10mk2, but also stunk. Every mat I tried instead was an improvement. I tried also the suggested modest priced mats I could borrow or buy including Herbie's Way Excellent II Turntable Mat, Funk Fir... | |
| Help me pick a phono, pre and cart @jetson Well nobody else has said it, so if it's not too late, I will... I'd suggest giving more serious consideration to alternatives to a VPI. This is coming from someone who for a number of years owned a VPI TNT6HR(Basically the more discussed/... | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 @bpoletti thanks I saw those. If the length isn't too long, it's an option. Having most recently owned another great vintage arm, the Technics EPA-250, I do like the on-the-fly VTA. The fact that this one was refurbished recently is clearly a bonu... | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 Looking at @chakster 's suggested UA-7045 I see online a spindle-to- pivot distance of 230mm. Anybody know if that will fit on a Sota Star? Anybody with personal experience with a tonearm on a Sota Star/Nova/Sapphir w/ S2P distance >230mm? The ... | |

| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Yes, @rauliruegas To make a rhyme you could say Tran Van Tan is the man. BTW, I see your comment "Sp-10s needs not those kind of metal mats" but can tell you that in my system with the SP10mkII, EPA250 and the Signet 111E that I bought from you, t... | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth @best-groove Yes, they are in Vietnam. FWIW, shipping to USA was fairly quick and not too expensive. Cheers,Spencer | |

| Jelco TK-850L review Even on those old Batman tv (to be continued) episodes, you only had to wait one week before you got to see how Batman would escape his predicament. Cheers,Spencer | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth For my SP10mk2, I had a custom machined SS mat 4kg, 292mm diameter and 8mm thickness made by Tran Van tan <tvan_tan@yahoo.com.vn> for $200USD. He is quite skilled at making a variety of metal turntable parts for vintage tables(e.g. Micro Sei... | |
| LP Cleaning Machine surprise @stringreen Read Rush's Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Thread. For someone who cares about LP playback as much as I know you do, I suggest you strongly consider going down the ultrasonic road. For a relatively modest investment it's a dramatic improve... | |
