| need some help with Denon DL-103r OR Suggest a different cartridge You might want to look at how effective mass is calculated. You can make or buy a brass shim/plate which can add alot of grams. Your constant attack on conical tips is not remotely agreed upon. There is a cult following around the 103 for a rea... | |
| need some help with Denon DL-103r OR Suggest a different cartridge Add weight to the head shell. Brass works well. Get a SUT for sure. It is a top tier cartridge regardless of price. If set up correctly, it will bogie and sound like real music.Enjoy the rideTom | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Hey ProfYou took the time to write a nice comprehensive reply to a silly post. You have the patience of a saint. Subjective vs Objective are never given any attention. Absolutes are given in a reality I am not a part of.The reality is you write... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Prof.You stated above real words about what made your heart sing. Raul show his hand again and again with his distortion, anti tube and even digital is the real thing stuff.When a person grows up playing in bands and orchestras, they have real ad... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable You already know the answer. It is impossible. Just changing the rack and or feet makes a difference. All the rest of the variables just complicates the matter further.Enjoy the rideTom | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable The room is 50% of the equation???? Where did that number come from??? I thought your original post was rhetorical but maybe it was not.Enjoy the rideTom | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Analog is only better if you like the sound of real unamplified music. If you have ever played in bands and orchestras you have been at least exposed to live music.I can not imagine the OP background in music even if the arm is to light etc. Unl... | |
| Speed stability issues with my Teres turntable... I did make my own. One is 32 lbs other is 38. Sold my PVC and straight aluminum ones. Have a chunk of delrin which I will lead load next. Any machine shop could do this. Let them measure your current platter and the rest is easy. Enjoy the ri... | |
| Speed stability issues with my Teres turntable... Those were the days when some real smart guys did some brainstorming and came up with rock solid ideas for the diy community. Not a bunch of marketing b.s. or ego based crap.The lead loaded platters are the real deal. Mine are aluminum, but hea... | |
| Speed stability issues with my Teres turntable... Check the side to side bearing play on the motor. If you got 18 years out of that motor you did well. Those Maxon motors do not like a lot of side load. If you can do your own work check out the DIY forum and the the motor controller threads ov... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Lewm you are on the money. Guys who think digital sounds the same as analog, well, that speaks volumes. Maybe the guys on this forum might read the late Allen Wright's cable cookbook. Lots to say about connectors. I do not use RCA jacks any mo... | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? Orpheus 10My ex wife work at Teac in 1975. Lots of my friends had reel to reel tape decks. Straight vinyl always sounded more real than vinyl to tape. Now master tape before vinyl could be a whole other game. Good news about her working at tea... | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? Orpheus 10 how in the world is recording a album to tape, regardless of the type, going to make playback better.A extra variable in speed? Another transfer function? Unless I read the above post incorrectly, I am really lost.Enjoy the rideTom | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? One of the biggest factors, in belt/tape/ string tables, is platter mass. This may be are ears hearing micro speed variations. Large motors are also very influential. Yes they can even be noisier (isolate from table).Well just a couple of ideas... | |
| Which wood Grado Sounds like the sonata is the one you are looking for. Comes in high and low output. I like the low output with a sut. The sonata has real meat on it bones. The mid range is top tier. Maybe the best in the business. On the whole a very music... |
