halcro: "If hiho likes it.....it's safe to assume it's very good" You're way too kind. I've learned more from you, your audio dedication, and your open-mindedness than most people here. My humble opinion is just . . . an opinion. As the saying goe...

rwwear: "I'm happy to say my recently purchased JVC QL-F6 works and sounds great. It's not the most beautiful turntable I've seen but could look nice in a custom cabinet."I am glad that you like the result. It's a gem. As long as you like the tone...

10-13-15: Lewm: "Apparently, Mark Dohmann, one of the principles of Continuum, is now producing a tt on his own, for about $36,000 with a Schroeder LT tonearm, a relative bargain compared to the Caliburn."That Schroeder arm is NOT an LT model. The... 
where to get schematic for Artemis Lab PH-1
Found a simplified schematic, no value on components but you can plug them in from inspecting your unit: http://s29.postimg.org/hrs3mwqli/Artemis_PH1_sch.jpgOwners manual can be downloaded here: http://www.hifi-manuals.com/Artemis-Labs/PH-1/downlo...

Pryso, you are correct the typical 10.5" VPI base is cantilevered so it will not work to replace JVC 10", not enough clearance. What I had in mind was the first generation VPI Classic that uses the same base as 9"JMW in the Scout but with a 10.5" ...

Halcro,With my JVC QL-F6, I use a Signet TK5Ea. The original stylus is on its last leg and needs to be replaced soon. I used to have a TK-7E but Audio Technica no longer make that kind of stylus so I sold it and I opted to for flexibility and kept...

Here's one forum member improving his JVC QL-A75 by adding mass and damping to the plinth:http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=426693Here's one that adds a SAEC arm bracket to the stock plinth:http://www13.plala.or.jp/mj4018/we308l2.h... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Halcro,I have thought of the same thing before but JVC made their integrated turntables rather hard to do that because the circuit boards are laid out all over the place and wires are like spaghetti. After some research I believe the QL-A75 is the...

Halcro: "I'm not sure what you mean by "integrated turntables"?" Integrated turntable just means a turntable comes with its own tonearm, unlike TT-101 or Technics SP-10 that allows you to use your own tonearm. The QL-A7 qualifies as an integrated ...

The best example about integrated turntable is the Lenco. Most Lenco models are integrated tables with stock tonearm but once audiophiles ditched the arm they are liberated and you can find all the creations in LencoHeaven site. I wish people star...

Banquo363,I never had a QL-A95 so I cannot be sure. Most of these tables have ribbon cable connectors from tonearm to the main board so you can disconnect them and the table will work manually. You can just add a armboard to cover the hole and a c...

Correction of correction. Oops. The above should read: "I should have kept these model numbers straight in my head.".

Correction: the model should be QL_A70, not 70A. I have keep these model numbers straight in my head. :) Sorry for the confusion.. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I have experience with the JVC QL-A7 and QL-7, both using TT-71 motor unit. Great for the money. But the gems, as far as pure turntables are concerned, are actually in the integrated turntables such as QL-Y7, QL-Y66F, QL-70A, etc., all have corele...
