DL-103 + A23 SUT + Pro-Ject Tube Box DS = ?
The A23 designed for the DL-103 is a hard combination to beat. If I had the money I'd have one myself but I'm pretty satisfied with my Denon AU-320. It to was designed to work well with the DL-103 cart. The other thing about SUT's that I found is ... 
Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming
Well it wasn't supposed to arrive till Wednesday but it came this afternoon. Very well packed, I paid extra for having it repacked. DHL works on a holiday! So far this far exceeds my expectations, it looks like brand new and has zero tonearm sag! ... 
ls this the frequency of vinyl
He is really no crazier than some of the other members on here. At lease he isn't taking himself seriously. Or at least I hope not.BillWojo 
ADD HINGES to existing removable DUST COVER
This one, larger and starting higher would be HUGE looking when open, that's unacceptable. Good point Elliott. How about a system of pulleys so you can raise it straight up to the ceiling when your using the TT. Think the better half would approv... 
Record Doctor cleaning fluid beads up
If it has so much surface tension that it is beading up than it won't do a thing. I would contact the manufacture. Also check that you haven't grossly messed up the ratio.BillWojo 
DL-103 + A23 SUT + Pro-Ject Tube Box DS = ?
Most SUT's are expecting to see 47K ohm loading at the phono preamp so I would go with that. As far as capacitance I don't think it's near as important as a MM cart so set it at about 200pf and see how it sounds.That A23 is VERY nice, my buddy use... 
ADD HINGES to existing removable DUST COVER
I've never had a problem playing with the dustcover on unless I'm blasting the music. At normal levels it adds nothing. BillWojo 
ADD HINGES to existing removable DUST COVER
Hi Elliott, I know where your coming from. My place is dusty as well. My solution is going to be to drape something over it as someone stated. I'm not concerned about acoustic feedback as my tt is behind a short stubwall separating the living room... 
l want to build a solid wood turntable
guitarsam, here is a trick that really brings out the magic in music since you mentioned using neodynium magnets. This works best with cartridges costing at lease a thousand dollars or more and you will need to rebalance your tonearm and possibly... 
Looking for tonearm inspiration
Yea, what is all this chatter about power amps about? Start your own thread. This went from interesting to dead boring.BillWojo 
Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming
bukanona, I have samples of different durometers of urethane coming to me. That way I can try and compare the original rubber to the urethane I'd like to use. Of course the rubber is probably somewhat changed after close to 40 years so it's all go... 
Denon DP-3000. YAYs or NAYs ???
Ok, lewm, I’ll be the first. LOL, Victor invented quartz locked DD turntable motors. Since Victors parent company had brought out the Technics line of consumer electronics to sell to the public, guess were Technics got the technology from? Victor ... 
Perhaps a Stupid Question
Most turntable manufactures were aware of excessive capacitance in tonearm cables causing issues so they used low capacitance cabling for the tonearm. Today there is better and it can be purchased fairly cheaply. Look inside and see if you are up ...

Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?
Victor upper end models, same as Denons are often referred as "Flying Saucers" although I think the Denons look a bit like a cake that went lopsided. LOLBillWojo
