| My Rega RP6, Exact combo may be going back due to hum. erisch,Yes, the Denon DL-110 required about 2mm or so of a raising to make tonearm parallel to the record. I attained 9 small flat washers and super glued them into 3 stacks, 3 high which give a 2mm or so height. I then drew up the 3 points of scr... | |
| My Rega RP6, Exact combo may be going back due to hum. czarivey.Why is a Rega an overly-overvalued deck with very poor build quality?As to value in turntables, I’d say 99% of the population will say any turntable above $500 US is overly-overvalued. Add the fact that some turntables cost as much as goo... | |
| Ground Hum with Rega RP6, Exact and TT PSU. crazyeddy,Roy Gandy of Rega Research has always believed in stiff, rigid and tend to a lighter weight turntable designs. Adjustable VTA will reduce stiffness and rigidity at the tonearm base. All Rega tonearms are grounded. The ground is attached ... | |
| Ground Hum with Rega RP6, Exact and TT PSU. Hi,I recall a poster on Youtube with the same hum issue on his RP6 and TTPSU. His solution was to grab a length of wire, careful back out the left side, back screw on the TTPSU and apply the ground wire to the screw then place screw back in place.... | |
| Thinking about getting into vinyl again... Ok, If you want to follow on here. This is what I would look at doing with about $1000 to spend.First, I'd shop for a good/great used turntable. I'd look for vintage higher end Made In Japan, Direct Drive models circa oh say 1975-1985 or so. Denon... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS As to high end, I totally understand why many may be enamored by it and as long as it's money one can afford to spend it's ok! I believe in the value to cost ideals though. I do not buy low end junk but I also do not see the value in the diminishi... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS Ok, not sure why I bother in this rather circular argument but I will add my 2 cents.Every direct drive turntable I've read about and seen measured has lower wow & flutter and better rumble figures than most any belt drive unit. They also have... | |
| Vintage Cassettes: Direct Drive, 3 Heads: Sendust Ivan.The JVC, TD-V711 was direct drive. A belt drives the second capstan. Heads are Amorphous for Record and Sen Alloy for Playback. All in all a nice JVC from 1989. I owned one for a while. | |
| Vintage Cassettes: Direct Drive, 3 Heads: Sendust Direct drive motors in cassette decks have some assurance of lack of some belts but not all. Most dual capstan direct drive decks have a belt driven off the direct drive motor driving the second capstan. Often these are not too hard to replace if ... | |
| LP to CD format anyone ... Cd recorders are available. Most consumer models force you to use CDR for music discs which cost more. Of course one can record to a computer hard drive but mnay find that a pain.My solution was to buy a stand alone digital field recorder in my ca... | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? 1980, Supertramp, Crime Of The Century was the LP. 1980 and onward was the beginning of my hi-fi journey and collection of recorded music. | |
| Recommend cartridge for JVC QL-Y66F I have a slightly older brother to the QL-Y66F, Mine is a QL-Y5F. It has a similar ED tonearm, S shaped rather than straight as in yours but both support medium mass cartridges. I had a Denon DL-110 and it's a great sub $200 cart for it but I rece... | |
| Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it? If you are only going for playback you will likely find the rather limited catalogue of commercial tapes recorded at 7.5ips or 3.75ips. Yes, Tape Project tapes are at 15ips but they are expensive.3.75ips as said for recording is pretty good for th... | |
| Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it? Phasecorrect,I agree about HiFi vcr's. As long as they had user adjustable record levels they can make superlative recordings. They are not tape fussy either, all they care is that the tape is of sufficient quality to not have notable drop outs in... | |
| Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it? Standard consumer grade reel to reel decks popular in the 1970's and 80's at 7.5ips with a good tape stock will make superb copies of any vinyl LP's you feed them and will give a very warm analogue flavour to cd's. These decks at 7.5ips all have h... |
