| Reel to reel - Revox B77 - maintenance There are very limited selections of 2-track 7.5 IPS pre-recorded tapes out there. Most pre-recorded tapes found on the bay are 4-track, and IMO not worth the trouble if you're looking for the ultimate sound.A few years ago, I modified a 7.5 IPS R... | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! @gunners01I purchased my 401 from a friend in Dallas, it has not been professionally refurbished and I feel this isn’t necessary if your Garrard is in decent condition. I enjoy being hands on which means I clean, lubricate, change out pulley, spar... | |
| Art Dudley passed away. Rest in Peace I’ve enjoyed much of his writing over the years. He was himself and there’s a uniqueness about him. Been reading a lot of his old articles on Garrards and Thorens of late and appreciating him even more. Rest In Peace, Art. | |
| Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401! The idlers have more tone when compared to the Raven. This is partially due to the stacked ply wooden plinth I’m using, a different plinth material will likely yield different results.I measure the wow and flutter of all 3 turntables and they meas... | |

The Jelco base adjusts the same way my Morch DP-6 and Schick tonearm does.I must admit I'm a set it and forget it type of guy, I spend a lot of time with the initial installation and check turntable s... | |
| Jelco TK-850L Installation and Initial Impressions Thank you for sharing @bpoletti. I'm using a Jelco 850L MKII with the same JAC-501 cable. Jelco updated the cosmetic of the 850L and added Rhodium plated contacts to commemorate their 100th year, everything else remains the same. So far, I agree w... | |

| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Is the Technics SP10 enough for me to experience many of the qualities direct drive has to offer?MikeHow are all your new turntables comparing to your reel to reel? I'm on a similar journey with reel to reel as I am with vinyl. noromancelink to th... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Thank you all for your links, explanations, and experiences. It seems that some of you have already traveled the journey I'm starting on. I've owned belt driven turntables for many years, and over a year ago I added a Garrard 401 idler drive. Last... | |

What is your ideal platter pad material?There are new people to the ... | |
| Cartridge recomendation for Garard 301 and Ikeda IT-345CRI I was looking for a cartridge for my 301 recently and the Kiseki cartridge interests me, might be something you'd consider.

| Reasonable moving coil cartridge If you're set on trying a moving coil cartridge, one of our poster above have already mentioned the Audio-Tecnica ATOC9/II, this would be my choice if I were looking for an MC in this price range. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Technica-AT-OC9ML-... | |
