| TTW Parts I have a TTW GemV2 with a 42 pound copper platter. This was a demo unit. I did get a brand new momentus motor and speed control. if the motor pod is set too tight to the platter you will get motor vibration. tap it out a bit just so it drives th... | |
| Ressurecting a hated foe that is now a new friend. In the mid 80,s I was using a Shinon red boron. A dealer wanted me to compare a Grace F9E to it, which I did for about 4 hours. Brought it back, said it,s ok but not in the same league as the Shinon, The dealer then offered it to me for cost as h... | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge taken to the next level I was fortunate enough to get an SG220 which has a variable gain among other features. I go straight to amp. With various preamps, I feel the best "truth" of the performance is without a preamp in my system. Thank you again for your insight ! Ron | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge taken to the next level @spiritofmusic Thankyou for your reply !Just a clarification, does your new unit replace the Soundsmith energizer, or does the new power supply provide power to the Soundsmith energizer?Do you use a preamp, or do you go direct to amp? It is astoun... | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge taken to the next level @spiritofmusic I also have the good fortune of music with the strain gauge.As you indicated in your first post, you also had a power supply made for your turntable. Did you happen to run them individually, or did you install both at the same time?... | |
| Linn LP12......That good?? I have 2 Linns. One is a stock 1984 lp12 with Ittok lv2.the other is a 1979 or so far from stock. Both tables gave me much pleasure over the decades, up till about 3 years ago. I was going to go full hog on the 1984 model ,only to be miffed by the... | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? On my LP12 with IttokLV2 my most favorite cart was the Shinon Red Boron. some compared it to the Koetsu sound.I had mine mounted on a low mass wall mount, with a corian base on spikes. As the Shinon is no longer available, I would be happy with a... | |

| Dr. Feickert Protractor I really could not do what I do without it. for example, currently messing around with different arm board materials, different thicknesses, different shapes. for me, it helps speed things along when the "madness" takes over..... of course, if I... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? I also have the metal Dennesen. I prefer the Feikert. As pryso identified, finding the pivot point can be daunting. the Linn Ittok is a prime example. On mine it is just at the tip of the bottom leg of the k on the name badge. there is no actual ... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? there is no divot, but there is a circle at the proper cross . I did replace the pointer at the end of the beam with a laser pointer. with the protractor the feikert adjust+pro and my ears i am confident that i get very accurate cart alignment.... | |
| Adding a turntable to my system Just set up a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon in red for a buddy. Looks good, easy setup. Came with the Ortofon 2m Red. Speed is a little fast, as measured with the Kab strobe. we,ll let the whole thing run in and then get serious with the fine tuning... | |
