| Name your favorite Integrated Tube Amplifier & why? audio note UK Meishu, Jinro, Tomei and Ongaku. all brilliant integrated amplifiers. Meishu is 300b. The others are 211 based. I use the Ongaku with JBL 4367 speakers. Brilliant! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 thankyou very much! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine terrible form to both post three times in a row and talk about another TT here but just briefly wanted to say about the Techdas Af3p 1. it is remarkably similar to the platine really. so simple. a separate motor, a chassis and then a platter. ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Of course the la platine can be run on linen thread and sound quite different I thought. Big dynamics and a lot more push. But then you forego lowest noise. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Very hard to say but…Well the la platine is not calling the shots in terms of tempo. Rather the music is (to a degree). I guess it’s a spectrum. A garrard / idler drive has its own tempo. And you hear that and it sounds a tad mechanical in compari... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 yes I have now heard the techdas having installed it only 48 hours ago. The platine I last heard a week ago. Also I have a new to me amp (though still same kind of amp and similar tube set). I last ran the platine with single loop ... | |
| TechDas III Premium vs Premium S @robob i just got one and am curious as to any optimisations you may have made now you are well into third year of ownership. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine for what it is worth i believe there are 2 ways to get the most out of the platine: 1. as verdier himself did. with a denon 103 cart, a sme3012 or 9 inch or fr64a, and using linen thread. a relatively low resolution system (compared to a mode... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine does anyone have any drawing or description of the spring feet and how they function and/or require to be fitted? i had removed the feet but now have reattached and i'm just not 100% about it. i am getting my platine ready to face the classified... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 in being inspired to replace your platine plinth with granite surely the original platine (granito) is a more proximate model to be emulated than the SOTA (although i get the point). i see numerous terrazzo versions (A23) on audio-mar... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine the ZYX brand intrigues me. Someone described it as a modern SPU sound. I had a great time listening to an old Shindo SPU-A for three months near the start of my vinyl thing. anything like that seems very good. what do you use for a SUT for th... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 any update on your new motor? after mounting the platine on a wall shelf i haven't tweaked anything in 5 days. feel bereft. i think i have ended up precisely where @dover might have predicted. totally rigid setup, suture silk, ligh... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 the rack was made for me by my Audio Note dealer who is also it seems an excellent carpenter/cabinet maker. It is well secured into the double brick wall and the rack itself fit onto a "thing" that he bolted to the wall. Making the m... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine The rack is Canadian maple. I’m kicking myself for not doing this sooner. Also noise is low enough that I feel I can be quite sure ball is better than no ball. If you ask me with no ball one can hear the resonances fizzing around. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I became curious as to what could be done at my end and so I decided to try putting the la platine on the wall shelf i have. i had previously thought the la platine too heavy. however i loaded the shelf up with 55 kgs of weight and it seemed fin... |
