| 6922 Amperex PQ White label... D or O-getter? Holland or Hicksville? It's funny, I'm reading the thread and laying on my desk, who knows where I got it from is an Phillips MiniWatt E88CC Special Quality gold pin tube with a D getter, made in Holland.Need to check it out sometime although I don't have any gear that ... | |
| What was wrong with the P-mount ? P-mount came out to late, everyone was switching to CD so it kind of fizzled out. It did have a lot going for it and a number of manufactures started making them, there were even some pretty darn good ones but the whole TT industry was in a tailsp... | |
| SUT vs. Phono preamp @stereo5 that is good to know. I have a set of Cinemag 1254 transformers sitting here for a project. Now I can’t wait to hear them.BillWojo | |
| SUT vs. Phono preamp I use a SUT for my Denon DL-103 carts. I based my decision on popular opinion plus the fact that it is a passive device. A well built SUT should be dead quiet as there is only a transformer used to boost the voltage. You may have to try different ... | |
| Help with cartridge Glad it's working out for you and you have it on a cool deck as well. Actually your whole vinyl setup is pretty nice. Hope you still have all your records as well.BillWojo | |
| Help with cartridge Chakster is a Denon hater, every chance he gets he puts the DL-103 and it's variants down. If you go on the internet and check around there is a whole lotta love for it from many folks out there. My favorite reports are from the folks that started... | |
| Help with cartridge Soundsmith may be great but has a very long turn around time. VAS turned around two carts for me in two weeks. He also has a very good reputation as well and is recommended in many threads.https://vasnyinc.com/repair-service/Billwojo | |
| Help with cartridge I just had my DL-103S serviced by VAS, he installed a new fine elliptical stylus on the original cantilever. I wonder why the DL-103S was so costly compared to the base line DL-103. I have seen Denon describe the DL-103S as having a "special ellip... | |
| Help with cartridge Could also be a DL-103S as the DL-103D looks the same. You will need to remove the cart and look at the model number on top.Not sure where you are located but I would check with VAS in Cliffwood, NJ for a price on getting it repaired. I just had t... | |
| high quality turntable with built in phono at $1000? High quality turntables don't usually have built in phono preamps. That's a feature found on cheaper units to make them "plug and play" for the general masses. Tell us what your looking to use this table for and why having a built in phono pre is ... | |
| Still in search of things to do? And than he sold it on Ebay as "good condition, minor speed issue" LMAO. That was hilarious. ThanksBillWojo | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Can’t have his number until it gets safe enough for me to go through his stacks of gear. LOL In the US they sold the QL-A7 in a piano black finish, the Japanese market had the wood finish. So it is a 120vac model. The black finish looks very class... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? I found it on AK's Bartertown. One of the members had it and I expressed interest. He brought it along to an AK get together at a members house and I was stoked, it looked beautiful. He had advertised it for 300 bucks and when I reached into my po... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Edgewear posted "As far as I know Micro never moved from direct drive to belt drive. They simultaniously offered a range of direct drives (DD-series) and belt drives (BL-series). That being said, they went much higher end with belt drives (RX- ... | |
| Bare cartridge design, Sumiko Blackbird Low Output I'm with chakster on this, that cart is way to easy to damage with virtually everything exposed. I just had a Denon DL-103 installed in a wood body and that thing makes me nervous to handle. Not used to mounting a cart without a stylus guard in pl... |
