| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Since 1973, seven: Dual 1214, Beogram something, Yamaha PF-1000, Michell Orbe SE, Nantais Lenco, Nantais Reference Lenco, Clearaudio Innovation Wood. All but the last two are gone. | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply I think Jean Nantais is playing around with designing an external PS for his Lenco rebuilds. You could query him. | |
| Multiple turntables Two turntables and four tonearms active into a stand-alone phono stage with 3 phono inputs and a preamp with 2 phono inputs. Everything is on Adona stands (4) and shelves (3 per stand), which I think are terrific. | |
| MoFi So Long So Wrong Mine sounds quite good, rich but not dark, although track 4 has excessive sibilance on two of three cartridge/tonearm combos. I find the album to be beautifully recorded--I'm surprised it was done digitally. | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono Mike, thanks for the detailed response.This hum is bad news to me. I have a Kansui, which I like alot, and I was very close to buying the Premium BE Mono but now I think I won't. My Steelhead II doesn't sum through the fixed outputs and my VAC Phi... | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono you can do the same thing with interconnects that a mono switch will do.Mikelavigne, please explain. Do you mean by using a Y-interconnect or Y-connector? Otherwise, offhand, I don't see how.Thanks. | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" My preamp is a dealer demo so it had a lot of time on it. The phono stage, however, had a cap replaced and the screw terminals for impedance loading installed, so those changes require some break-in, as do the nude Vishays I use for loading. In my... | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" Follow up: I found the VAC 12AX7s to be better than the Psvanes in this phono stage--more open and balanced. The Psvanes are tonally richer but and not as extended in the highs. I just ordered another set from VAC as back ups. | |
| Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s I've been told by a dealer who was told by Musical Surroundings that the two cartridges are identical but for the bodies. This dealer owns both in his system and loves them but says the LP-S is tonally a little richer. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? I like that fat counterweight. Looking forward to the upgrade, whenever that actually happens. I'm on the list but was told recently that it won't happen before 2012. Mr. Graham is behind, I hear. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? The 9-incher works fine with the ring, I just have to be careful. And since my days (and nights) of staggering to the 'table to flip a record are long past, being careful isn't much of a challenge anymore. ;)I only use the alignment jig to get sta... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Rockitman, are you using the outer ring on the Clearaudio table? If so, that might be one reason MusicalSurroundings recommended the 10-in. The 9-in. brings the anti-skate mechanism uncomfortably close to the ring. I have one on the full Innovatio... | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? My M2-12R is on a Nantais Reference Lenco. It plays well with idlers. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dertonarm, so do you also think anti-skate is unnecessary? I'm not asking in order to stoke an argument. I respect your knowledge and experience in vinyl, so I'm curious about your opinion on this subject, which is also somewhat controversial. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Never heard of a captive cable on a Graham. I don't think it's an option. |
