| Shure SFG-2 - Safe to use with LOMC carts? The older SFG-2 models used a steel balance beam with ferrous content and would attract to a magnet. At some point later in the production history this part material was changed to a non-ferrous metal which is not attracted to a magnet. (looks lik... | |
| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. I encountered some static build-up issues with my tape drive setup, re Teres 145. Lots of acrylic in that setup. Also my tt stands on a Neuance platform, which may or may not be a contributor. Searching for ways to reduce or eliminate my static bu... | |
| Sundsmith rebuild. Peter did a re-tip for me last summer. Turn-around was approximately 8-10 weeks. I don't exactly remember. What I do have in mind is that I now have the cartridge and that it is better than before. I didn't have to suffer without vinyl because I h... | |
| Swiss Precision/ The story of Thorens TD 124 I've had my copy over a year now. It's not an inexpensive book to buy, but the hardbound binding is very good quality and the information within is beyond value for anyone who digs the TD124.I should note that even though I helped to advertise thi... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r What I've noticed in mass tuning a rega tonearm for the DL103-R is that in order to gain a full point hz reduction (1 hz) in arm/cart res I had to increase mass at the headshell by 7.5g. Which is approximately 68% of the arms original effective ma... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I'd like to follow up on my earlier post re: the DL103R and the 2.2. This combo did work well and even better with the added mass of the headshell weight. Compliments to the Graham for being able to adjust for this with ease.If it had so happened ... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r Hi Blueranger.I've used the 2.2 with the Uwe bodied DL103R. It worked fine. However, when I added a headshell weight (7.5g) to the DL /Graham I liked the sound better. I also got my above noted arm/cart res to happen near 10hz this way with the Gr... | |
| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r Without naming names, you'd want a tonearm with enough effective mass so that the arm/cart resonance occurs at around 10hz. Like 16g or more.-Steve | |
| Review: Verus Motor Upgrade for Teres I wouldn't be surprised if the lighter acrylic platter was a better match to the Verus than is the lead/acrylic. But I'm not really sure since I haven't been able to make that comparison as I'm sure CB has. Even so the comparisons that I was able ... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Otari and Revox over here.The Otari are MX-5050 BII-2 ( a pair. One near mint, the other not so mint but sounds good making it a good source of parts)The Revox is the A77. Original model. Nice wood veneer exterior. But the metal work is not so min... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Loudness of the demonstrationsOne thing that seems to get over-looked while making comparisons at events like RMAF, or smaller shows like VSAC is the decibel level of the demonstrations. For that matter, it often fails to get mention during equipm... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Interesting re: Verus upgrade and your experience with it. I was in line to try one but then Chris kept putting me off on delivery dates so I just let it drop. I haven't really heard one, except briefly at VSAC '08 on a 265 model. I rarely get a u... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt Hey Doug.This sounds like a worthwhile tweak. I'll try to source some etching cream and give it a go. One of the reasons I'm a believer is because of what I've observed with my Teres 145 when replacing a worn belt with a new one is just what you r... | |
| Dedicated Stand for a Turntable ? Opinions. .... is that any turntable benefits from a solid, unmoving stance that is unperturbed by the environment it is in physical contact with. Below is a link to a photo of my current dedicated turntable stand.http://www.theanalogdept.com/images/spp6_pi... |
