Greetings Hiho, wrong there actually with the one man operation Artisan fidelity comment. There's one owner/ designer right (Christopher), but according to my notes they've got several woodworkers, a part time electronics tech and a couple machinists who they directly contract for custom designed metal fabrication. He said he works from home partly and from the woodshop located somewhere nearby. (Just spoke to the guy by the way, so I think I should know what the heck I am talking about here) on a side note, I enjoy reading some of your older analog postings btw, good stuff. :) Peace, J
Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply
Been thinking about this recently...Does it even make sense to try to find someone willing to build a power supply for turntables such as the Lenco L75 or Garrard 301 when they were made to just be plugged directly into the wall ac in the first place??
Loricroft makes ones for the 301 that convert ac to dc then back to "perfect" ac again which is what something like a Pure Power ac line conditioner/regenerator does. The neat thing about the Loricroft is that you can apparently adjust the 301's speed with it. It would be trick to find something like that for a Lenco 75 that was not so expensive.
PS audio used to make some big line re-conditioners that did the same sort of thing I think back in the day but I don't know if they are making the same equipmnet still. Furman and a couple others I think do similar things also.
What would be neat would be to find a ac regenerator that you could use to control the speed of either a 301, 401 or Lenco 75. Since they are all AC and can run at 110 or 220 volts maybe its possible, I don;t know but I know the Loricroft controller is way way expensive is it really worth $4000 bucks?? Thats almost as much as a restored 301 or top Lenco....geesh
Maybe you could just save the 4000 bucks and build one??/ Could it really be that tough?..
