Answer to Homosapien - I brought my own tonarm and cartridges to be completely fair. New Ortofon AS-212s with 3 Ortofon LH-9000 headshells, one with a very low hour Micro Acoustics 2002e, one with a low hour Clearaudio Maestro Wood, and one with a...

I had the opportunity to demo both the Bardos and the Artemis TT's. I'm very impressed with both. If I had to briefly describe them, I would say that the Bardos is detailed, wide-open, and quiet. The Artemis is too but adds some element of magic, ...

Please follow me on a journey that explains the relevance of good TT and DD motor technology. Imagine if you will, there are 3 automobile drivers. All 3 drivers will drive through the most beautiful parts of the Swiss Alps, or the Smokey Mountains...

Lespier,Many people have done DIY with the EDS motors. From a service standpoint, capacitors C5, C6, C7, C8, and C9 can be replaced. You can basically use 4 sheets of 3/4" birch plywood, make a 5" hole, mount the motor, measure your spindle to arm...

I forgot to mention kudos to Brinkmann for making their own motor in-house and taking the initiative to incorporate this technology into their product.

Dear Lewm, There are 2 different motor designs for the K07D. The initial Kenwood motor that looks similar to the Brinkmann (and the Dual) but with 6 red coils was a patent infringement on the earlier Dual design. This is why Kenwood had to later c...

Dual came out with the first and only EDS (electro-dynamic suspension) DD TT motor, for which they've never gotten any credit. Being an aerospace engineer, I can tell you this type is the only true magnetic direct drive motor. The Technics platter...

Let's not forget the pioneers of this technology, the Dual EDS1000 / EDS1000-2 magnetic dd motor that they first introduced in '73. With 4 hall sensors, even though it isn't quartz controlled, it's rock steady, strong, dead silent, and shielded. D... 
Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver
Great info. Anyone care to comment on the performance and sound between the 2m black and the 540mkll. I'm nearing the time to replace the stylus on my 540mkll, and wondering if I should invest in the 2m black. Best Regards. 
Dynaco Pas 4 Pre-amp tube questions
Preamp quality means low noise and hopefully low microphonics. I use Telefunkens in my Pas4. I would not remove the tubes from the phono stage, as they balance the load of the power supply.
