| Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S Thanks for the report. I was given a copy of a reissue from the ’80s that was supposed to be one of the best sounding and on a couple systems, it just had no bottom end- maybe that’s the recording, not the various pressings. (I can identify the co... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? This has been a pretty informative thread~For another story, I knew a guy back in Pittsburgh, where I grew up, who mounted a Vestigal arm (remember those, with the wagging headshell attached to a string which tensioned it?) to a Rabco. In theory, ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? https://flic.kr/p/S8x8RW Dunno if this will work but here’s a shot of where the counterweight threaded tube mounts on the back of the air-bearing housing- looks like it is a threaded hole. Period. Thanks, @ct0517 if you click on the image link, an... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @ct0517 - another good question which will require a little exploration by me. Just when I thought I knew how to set this thing up after all these years! Your learning is valuable and obviously transferable--Just literally removed my regular cartr... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? 10-4, @ct0517 - very helpful. Thanks. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @ct0517 - thank you. The FAQ on Franc’s site talks about an optional lighter counterweight. The Airtight Supreme is going to get rebuilt very soon, and I may also try a couple other cartridges, but I guess what you are suggesting is what- smaller ... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @ct0517 - I can ask Franc about the counterweight. Dunno. This is a pretty old arm, circa 2006-7 is when I bought it from an authorized dealer. | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @ct0517 - Chris- (or so i gathered), here's a photo of the back end of the arm as set up. Counterweight is the stock part: https://thevinylpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/DSCF0778.jpg | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Mark Levinson is owned by Samsung now, isn't it? | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? @ct0517 - I'm interested in your comment about setting the ET for highest vertical inertia. How do you accomplish that? I've had the Kuzma Airline for at least a dozen years and remain happy with it (the only issues have been compressor related an... | |
| Where can you get access to great quality vinyl rips? Though making a personal copy of an album one already owns a copy of is something that has been tolerated by music publishers and sound recording owners for personal use (not proliferation), someone running a business that offered such copies coul... | |
| Quad 2905 I did a little poking around and found the manual, as you say, it doesn't address the issue. FWIW, Kent McCollum, who rebuilt my '57s, had this to say (not on your model but on the difference between the 57 and 63 as regards charging the panels): ... | |
| Quad 2905 I thought the original speaker, aka the '57 required a constant charge- and that the later models didn't. But I can dig down a little. Are these the models that were manufactured in China? There's another recent thread on here about panel failure ... | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable I suspect some of the ’sound’ of the turntable goes beyond the usual measurable ’specs’ of rumble, wow & flutter and has to do with mass, materials, isolation, the sonic character of the interface between the LP and the platter (which could be... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? Ah, I meant the SM, not the XM. Thanks for forcing me to check, @cleeds https://ateupwithmotor.com/contentfiles/uploads/1972_Citroen_SM_front.jpg |
