| Merrill amps at Audiophile Society meeting I concur. I had an opportunity to listen for a couple of hours a day before the meeting and really enjoyed the sound. I too have heard David's system many times and this was the best. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Banquo, to handle the tt I remove the platter and turn it upside down on a large flat bowl that is covered with a dish towel. The washers are about 5/8" in diameter and 3/32" thick. They will raise your platter a tad by raising the entire motor. T... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Banquo,I have the sheet under the platter as Halcro described. I also covered the entire interior of the chassis with the 3m product as I described along with the underside of the rim (which is how I describe the silver ring that the controls are ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Banquo and other TT-101 owners. Don't know why, but when my TT-101 is recalcitrant about getting started after a day off, I turn on the power and spin the platter by hand backwards (just get it going fast and let it spin down). It then is ready to... | |
| Esco cantilever/stylus mods for Zu Denon 103R Yesterday, I sent my Zu 103R (lvl 2) to Soundsmith for their top cantilever and diamond. I am thinking that this is the equivalent of the ESCCo mods discussed here. This cart had been out of service for about a year because of a sweater-sleeve cir... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Lewm, TT-101 - absolutely a coreless motor. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 RadicalSteve, glad to read your endorsement of the TT-101. I don't have it in a lead or any plinth but I do use a Merrill lead mat under an Achromat. My only fear is the inevitable integrated circuit disintegration. But I will spend the money to h... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Oh the tap test. I worked hard to modify my turntable ( nude JVC TT101) and the supporting shelf so that it passed the tap test. So clearly I believe it is somewhat important. And yes I do believe the sound improved in terms of clarity and precisi... | |
| Why do my rolling stones albums sound bad? Try Sticky Fingers on Japanese single layer SACD. I know it's not vinyl but I really like the album and can't listen to my original recordings. This SACD brings back the feeling. | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Atmasphere, is that true even when a feedback loop is in effect that amplifies rapidly? I've never heard this on a turntable but certainly on a microphone and on a guitar pick-up. It gets loud very fast. | |
| A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids Maclogan, please inform us of the truth of these matters and if you are able, tell us how this effects the recommended RCF. | |
| Reduced analog posts and items for sale here? My posts take 8 - 12 hours to appear so I assume this thread will be gone before this shows up and that's a good reason to not bother posting here. I've ha better luck selling on eBay - although I still buy here. Funny thing is that none of my rec... | |
| Stole my wife's Clarisonic to clean records... Two things:how did it go with the new brush? and, I would replace the Palmolive with Jet Dry in your mixture - the best wetting agent I have tried by far. You didn't specify the proof of the alcohol you were adding, but I have used a similar mixtu... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Halo, I assume you are referring to the ground cable attached to the bottom of the turntable rather than the tonearm/cartridge ground. I have tried the TT ground on and off and never found a difference. Mine has been off for the last year without ... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review How does tapping in the base bypass the suspension? All of the suspension is above it. Also, if the base is exicited by tapping it may also be excited by loud percussion? |
