| Cartridge, Phono Preamp Hum I was going to add that sometimes a ground that is common to both the main bearing housing of the tt, the body of the arm, and the phono pre will fix the problem. But it varies from one tonearm/turntable to another. Some tonearms don't need a TT c... | |
| Stillpoints under a turntable? Yes.I'm using original Stillpoints under my SP10 mkII.The MuleAnd the Stillpoint cones are directly over a Neuance Shelf.I haven't tried this plinth/TT with rubber. Fwiw I got the idea about using Stillpoints (original type) from listening in on d... | |
| Stylus replacement for Shure V-15 v MR I thought it might be of some interest to point out the mechanical/electrical differences between the V15V MR versus the V15VxMR. Apart from the fact that the V15VxMR and stylus assy were mfr'd in Mexico. Then look at the V15V versus the V15VMR in... | |
| SP-10 Mat Yesterday I was able to remove the BA Mat 2 from the SP10 platter. Residue from the rosin was where I had placed it the day before. A circular array of spots. Just slightly sticky. And there was also residue on the bottom side of the Mat 2. I don'... | |
| SP-10 Mat I've just received my Mat 2 today. Austin Jackson was very adept at quickly responding to my request for this mat. So far I've had enough time to spin a few albums through. My impressions are favorable as I had expected.Some early observations:Yes... | |
| Cost no object tonearm for DL-103 For the DL103 and R you want an arm of at least 16grams effective mass. If you look through the spec chart on every arm you might consider, you'll find how the manufacturer rates its arm for mass. But keep in mind that an arm of lower mass can usu... | |
| SP-10 Mat Lew, thanks for your response.re: mat thickness versus vta/sra. Plus one other factor; the sp10mkII platter has a pocket that a mat must fit within. And to be functional any mat would need to at least show proud of the platter rim. Just noting tha... | |
| SP-10 Mat I've been following this thread with interest because my latest project, an sp10mkII (early model) is in the works.Here's a recent photo of the TT up inits plinth and doing its job.http://www.theanalogdept.com/images/spp6_pics/User510/sp10mkII/Tes... | |
| Best Tonearm for Thorens TD-124. Probably, there is no "best"..... only personal favorites. I've been spinning records on an early TD124 (sn 2729) with three different arms and a few different cartridges.Apart from the arms and cartridges, I should point out that the turntable be... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Hagerman TrumpetI have one of the later iterations of the Trumpet. It has aluminum front and back panels. I took delivery of it in January of this year. Very happy. This one should last me the rest of the way.I had used a Wright WPP100C. Eleven ye... | |
| Best loadings for Shelter 501 Mkll I've been living with a 501-II for several years.Be that is it may, the mfr recommends 100 ohms.Btw, basic rule of thumb for MC loading: internal resistance X 10. The Shelter's internal resistance is 10 ohms. So by this rule 100 ohms would be the ... | |
| Step Up Transformer housing case -- available? Link to below of a sut project I just completed. Lots of photos. This may help to give you some idea on at least one way to proceed.http://www.theanalogdept.com/bd_sut.htm-Steve | |
| Thorens TD520 vs a restored Thorens TD125 Yes. When the question becomes one of which model is the best built Thorens I think it comes down to three models. The TD124 and mkII, the Prestige, and the Reference.The other models, many of them flagships, were also well constructed and meant t... | |
| Thorens TD520 vs a restored Thorens TD125 I was reviewing some pages on my site and came upon one that shows at least some of the different bearings used on different models; include both mk1 and mk2 TD125 models.The TD125 saw a re-design of its bearing housing when it evolved from mk1 to... | |
| Thorens TD520 vs a restored Thorens TD125 Actually I have done some research. I post it to my website.The Analog Dept. regularlyhttp://www.theanalogdept.comIN that site you there is quite a bit of information on the various models of Thorens as well as detailed information on the mechanic... |
