| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Here's a TT made using a 701 motor.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOidsA9smZE | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I bought a 731Q with intentions of doing so but never have. I have seen some online though. I believe the 701 to be the best one. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Sounds like my story halcro. I never liked that Planer 3. I finally got rid of it years ago along with that bouncy Linn Sondek. | |
| Subwoofer I wish you would stop saying some subs are "too slow" bo1972. Bass is slow because it is supposed to be. I can almost guarantee if the bass is tight and fast it's because the sub is not going down to it's desired frequency. When's the last time yo... | |
| Subwoofer A sub may go to 120hz but is not usually a good idea to have one crossed over so high. | |
| Subwoofer Some good points emailists. I was a Velodyne dealer a few years back. Still great I think. | |
| Subwoofer In a room your size Mesch, I think the DD Plus 12" would be good. Velodyne has a chart on their site. Adding another later will work great. | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib,Contact cement is not thick or uneven if sprayed. It's what speaker companies use for veneer. I've used it to laminate lead to armboards. It works well. As for the veneering of the lead, you could use something other than aluminum if desired... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I suggest laminating the lead to a thin sheet of aluminum using contact cement or epoxy. Use a roller to flatten them. I don't think it's a good idea to have exposed lead that can come in contact with the platter or your skin. | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX I've had many big arguments with FedEx over the years but I think they have improved. Mostly about delivery times and leaving my packages all over my neighborhood without telling me and coming to my house and leaving before I could get to the door... |
