| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? I have not run from lions but I can hear pitch variations like no tomorrow. It is the variation that is the problem. Weather the pitch is correct to a tuning fork or not is not that important. But the band needs to tune to themselves. Kind ... | |
| SUT's -Looking for one with some meat on the bones Was just a thread on SUT's. Loading and matching where somewhat discussed. Also a link which is very informative. That being said get a Denon 103 not the 103 r. It is cheap and is very full bodied. Talk to Dave at intact audio. He can wind a... | |

| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Thanks DaveIt is one more variable in the 100's so we can black art our way to audio nirvana. If you are out at a west coast event let the forum's know. To hear your modified stacked 57's would be a delight!!!Enjoy the ride Tom | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Dave I am confused on the second variable. Or what you can do to the transformer to make the cartridge not need loading.Let's say you have 5 ohm cart. We use the 10x rule so 50 ohms is a ballpark load. We have no input resistor on the phono am... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Mike the the formation so far has been confusing at best. You might be best served talking again to Dave at intact and call Kevin at K+K audio. The ratio of the step up is squared then divided into the 47,000 resistor. So 10 to 1 is 10x10=100 t... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl Warm Euphoric Quality = Real Musical Sound. Buying into the numbers is fun for the math guys but does not explain the difference in sound. Enjoy the rideTom | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Can you build any electronics yourself? A SUT is probably the easiest thing to do. Then you could try alot of different sut's on the cheap. Lundal and cinemags also have multiple windings for various ratios. They all sound different so you can... | |

| Micro Seiki MA-505LS tone arm, anybody familiar? You might try a brass plate on the top of head shell, with the denon. Had a regular 505 for over 20 years. 2 of the best mods where brass counter weight and bypass the detachable head shell connections. More of a pita to swap head shells.Enjoy ... | |

| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? You hit the Nail on the head!!! Heavy platters for belt drives is the way to go. The difference in sound is huge. I feel need to build a heavier platter. Have one at 33 and another at 40 lbs. Most of the lead is in the outer radius so that he... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? I think the OP maybe needs to define and understand the question he just asked. Are we talking about speed adjustment with a external knob. Electronic automatic adjustment somewhat continuous. Are we looking for the right 33.333333333 or that 3... | |
