| Motor repair for Goldmund Studio TT /w Pabst motor I decided to call a local repair person recommended to me by a friend. I was then astounded when, with only the knowledge that it was a DC direct drive motor this fellow literally described the internals to me over the phone. He then listed all th... | |
| Motor repair for Goldmund Studio TT /w Pabst motor Dweller...perhaps you missed my mention of the Raven AC in the original post. | |
| Motor repair for Goldmund Studio TT /w Pabst motor Dweller...It would probably seem the way to go to someone not familiar with this table but is obvious to anyone who has examined it closely. The way the platter and motor are configured precludes the use of an off the shelf generic replacement. I ... | |
| Stupid question about Sutherland Ph.D. phono pre Yes, blank boards are supposed to be available but numerous efforts on my part to get blank cartridge loading boards have come and gone without any results. I've contacted all the usual suspects and they all say they'll look into it and get back t... | |
| Isolation devices and CDPs Tbg - You are right on target regarding Halcyonics. Hands down best platform I've ever seen. I too wish I could have more of them. Sadly they aren't cheap and have been made even more expensive because of the relationship of the dollar to the euro... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Chuck911 said "The changes heard in my system (and this is by me, Chris did not have the time to A/B this) were towards a more lively, dynamic presentation."Just a thought, but perhaps what Chris perceived as "added hardness" in another system tra... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH Mr. Fremer, it was my understanding that you kept the Halcyonics Micro 40 isolation platform after the review was completed. IMO that platform would have been an excellent support for the Monaco table. Perhaps you had already returned the Micro 40... | |
| Lyra Helikon and Phd owners please I've already tried Acoustic Sounds. Sent several emails without a response. Finally, I called them and talked to someone who took my contact info and said they'd get back to me but never did. Since my last post I've been told that these boards are... | |
| Lyra Helikon and Phd owners please While we are on the topic of the Sutherland phd, does anyone know were to buy the blank cartridge loading cards? The places I've checked don't seem to carry them. | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Dan_ed, thanks for your comments but you are not quite correct. I don't own a Teres but that doesn't mean I don't have any experience with their products. A close friend has been using their gear for years and I've listened numerous times. He deci... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option I've been watching the Teres website on an off for a long time and one disturbing trend (from my point of view) is the escalating price structure. What surprises me here on this thread is how several people commented that this new motor sounded in... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz unsound, by "feedback from the speakers" would you be referring to back emf?Do you have any technical background, by the way? I'm wondering if you actually know what a zobel does.Let me restate that the reason amp designers put networks at the out... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz Unsound, it is a normal design practice to put a network at the output of an amplifier. In effect, it accomplishes the same thing as adding a zobel, i.e. keeping the amp stable into reactive loads. There are designers who feel that this network ef... | |
| Alpha Core Goertz Amazing how all those years of good service can be negated by one bad employee. I sure don't blame anyone for not doing business with a company that doesn't seem to value you as a customer. I'd probably have taken my business elsewhere under the d... | |
| Audiophile TT article in Forbes Hodu said "The Forbes articles says that Sound by Singer sold 50 turntables last year, but just one five years ago."Isn't "Sound by Singer" that guy that's so stuck on himself that he puts his picture on every ad he creates? Or is that somebody else? |
