| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable Dunno. Can't account for the difference. I was quoting from notes I made last year (I looked it up last year when I was doing research on Japanese DD TTs from the 70s and 80s) but just now checked over at the Vinyl Engine website and found an Engl... | |
| Looking for a CDP from a company that'll be around I think the Marantz SA-1, SA-14, and SA-11 are all quite good. Denon also has some great players, especially modded, for not huge money. Esoteric is also good bang for buck used. I still get excellent music out of my stock Sony SCD-777ES, which al... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable S/N Ratio: DP-80 S is 77; DP-75M is 80dBWow/Flutter: DP-80 is <0.015%; DP-75M is < 0.008%w.rms The JIS measure shows both below 0.02%. I don't know how rumble is measured.Wow and flutter (originally separate measurements, now put together) m... | |
| Vintage Denon Direct Drive Turntable FWIW, the 75 (which came with plinth), and the 80 (which was sold plinthless, but with at least three choices of plinth) are not that far off in terms of specs. The DP-75M was JPY 180,000 (with plinth and arm), and the DP-80 was JPY 95,000 by itse... | |
| Sony TTS 8000 w Sony PUA 1600L Thanks much Analoghifi. Your system components speak volumes by themselves (but the TTS-8000 appears to be the only DD). Any info you had on the motor of the TTS-8000 would be welcome. I am specifically looking for a torque number... | |
| Sony TTS 8000 w Sony PUA 1600L Analoghifi, I applaud your sentiments (cuz I got one) but can you elaborate? As a first and so far only post to Audiogon, eager readers have no basis of reference. Have you compared it to anything? Found it better or worse in any particular way? h... | |
| How do I copy music to USB flash drive? 4GB is a small hard drive. Music, when uncompressed (to retain quality), takes up a lot of space. Nero would probably work, but there are many other players too. The archives here and over at the PC Audio section of Audioasylum.com are priceless r... | |
| Sony TTS 8000 w Sony PUA 1600L Interesting, I had not seen one outside Japan for a while...Not sure now about the plinths. Was going to make my own, only because I did not find one with plinth, but if I could get the TB-2000, I would probably take it. It is a pretty bulky/heavy... | |
| Recommendations for auto or semi auto turntable Some of the auto DDs from the 1970s are quite competent in stock form. I can vouch for the Yamaha PX series (all three OK but PX-2 better than PX-3 by a fair bit IMO; PX-1 quite good but difficult to find outside of Japan), and the PX-2 comes up f... | |
| Sony TTS 8000 w Sony PUA 1600L I have the Sony TTS-8000 (which I bought to experiment with) in condition which resembles NOS (not a scratch or fingerprint anywhere) but have not yet put it in a plinth. I do not have the 1600 arm. I had planned on putting it in a better plinth t... | |
| How do I copy music to USB flash drive? Depending on how many CDs you want to copy, a USB flash drive may not get you where you want. The largest one I know is 32GB, which is quite large, but depending on where you are, it may be difficult to get a 32GB drive for a bit. A 16GB drive doe... | |
| "Pictures at an Exhibition" Oops. Just did a search - it was Arthur Wills, not Mills. | |
| "Pictures at an Exhibition" The Maazel/Cleveland version, the Reiner/CSO version on RCA, and the Bernstein/NYPO are all good. I think I probably prefer the Maazel on CD. The two piano versions I like are the Richter recording with BBC (probably considered the classic), and o... | |
| Turntable on a $5k budget? My standard response in this case is 1) that everything is system-dependent, so no one person's answer is necessarily going to be right, 2) to look around in the archives here, and spend some time digging around in the Vinyl Asylum before spending... | |
| Supporting Local Audio Stores are we? But back on topic... My feeling is that it is a small market, and there are too many manufacturers. This means that dealers cannot carry enough brands for knowledgeable people, and carry too many to appropriately serve the people just starting out... |
