| Linear Tracker ...I was wondering Notice not one mention of why you would want to go to a linear tracker in the the 1st place. In the the OP case maybe A little more work than the rest of his systems needs. But as anyone SHOULD know, you would have to know what he is looking fo... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital Maybe a look at a simple tube phono stage schematic vs a DAC schematic might shed some light on the subject.For you non technical guys maybe the KISS principle might apply. For over 30 years they have been telling me how great digital is. Well ... | |
| Thinking to replace my phono For the money you are willing to spend I would Call Dave at Intact audio or Kevin at K+K audio. They can listen to what you are looking for and maybe even build it from scratch. These guys know what music sounds like and are no BS gentlemen. E... | |
| Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS. Jeff notice how not one of the people who talk in absolutes, ask you what you wanted from vinyl. Notice how the ones who talk in absolutes have not built anything themselves so have no first hand knowledge of what is going on. The 3-5 grand ca... | |
| What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges? Chakster DHT tubes go back to at least the 30's transformers even further. I am guessing you are not a musician who has played in bands and orchestra's. My objective is easy, I like the sound of real live music. Black backgrounds, air aro... | |
| What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges? If you like the beauty and soul of real music then the stock 103 is the real deal. A little more Hi Fi then 103r. If you want alot more Hi Fi this forum will give you all kinds of reasons to buy something else.This is the one industry that took ... | |
| Measuring turntable speed Just wondering how many turntables you have built?? How many platters of various weights and materials have you tried on the same turntable?? And how about motors and controllers???Also they use heavy platters with small motors. But the bearing... | |
| Measuring turntable speed Different belts and tension can affect wow and flutter/ speed stability. You can watch the road runner pick that up to a certain degree.Enjoy the rideTom | |
| Measuring turntable speed Optimize thanks for the information. I have a Phoenix roadrunner for the speed which goes out to 33.333. I have been interested, in the different turntables I have been building, to see if you can see the difference between a 35 lb platter vs 55... | |
| Measuring turntable speed Is your graph more accurate than a wow and flutter meter??? Been playing with a test record and wow and flutter app lately.Thanks Tom | |
| Tube MC phono stage recommendation Second what tomic601 said. If you built the bottlehead, doing a sut would be a Breeze. Also if you still want to change amps, you will be MC ready.Enjoy the rideTom | |
| Cartridge loading Seems like most everyone else seems to hear differences with load changes. Maybe by building a phono pre so quiet or with certain tubes, etc... kills the music from coming totally through. Dave brings up a interesting point and another variable... | |
| Denon DL-103 and Audio Note AN-S2 SUT problem What's the step up on the SUT??? Even with the wrong arm and loading it should not sound like what you described. Enjoy the rideTom | |
| Stylus Profile Discussion Looks like the second post by Millercarbon nailed it on the head. You guys go on and on about absolutes which never really pan out in music reproduction.If your goal is real music reproduction then you are going to have to listen. Or better yet a... | |
| Stylus-Drag..Fact or Fiction? The belt string thing has been talked about for decades. I would bet the guys who played with various strings belts and tape, ended up with tape. Tape being the biggest pain. If I had to sell to general public, tape would be my last choice.For... |
