| Which Mid Level Turntables Ship Well and Are Foolproof? If you are looking for something build like a tank and properly working (Direct Drive) my advice would be used Technics SP-20 (1976), if the budged is under $700, the rest is for tonearm etc. https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/19149053_... | |
| Vintage Denon turntable I think it’s too much for non working turntable, for nearly the same price you could buy working DP-75 or DP-80 drives. | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Next week i will get my rack for Luxman PD-444 powder coated, it's my own design, super heavy, can't wait to try it.

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Once i've come across the Tuchan’s blog with a picture of his "stand" for tt-101 i realized it reminds me something. It was beautiful OMA plinth for one for their turntables, but later i realized the orignator for that kind of "plinth" was Jean V... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas the problem with the 170/180 ML is that ceramic top plate in the cartridge body that unfortunatelly is way resonant. I don't think so. Let me quote Audio-Technica's description from the original manual for the AT-ML170 cartridge: ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @rauliruegas ... not only that it can't outperform the 20SS ( it's almost at the same level. ) Very interesting, do you know AT20SL (not SLa) ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Signet and Precept are just an export brands of the Audio-Technica, those cartridges are not for sale in Japan, but normally sells in the USA and Europe, but it does not make them better than Japanese Audio-Technica top models! The AT was an O... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I wonder if anyone ever tried to re-build the AT-ML180 or AT-ML170 cartridges. Apart from the working units i also have some broken units (no cantilevers). The last AT-ML180 was destroyed by a friend who decided to touch the cartridge at my studio... | |
| Tonearm recommendations @cjaronica For Denon 103 you can buy the Thomas Schick "12 tonearm ("9 version is also alailable). This is the most elegant tonearm on the market, made in Germany. It was designed for low compliance cartridges such as DL103 and SPU. I strongly rec... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Well, i just got an email from www.Audio-Reparatur.de about estimate price for TT-101 repair service and it’s similar to JP’s current rates, but the vendor is in Germany, so for those who’re in Europe it must be great and Tuchan’s repaired TT-101 ... | |
| Jico SAS vs Neo-SAS(S) vs Neo-SAS(R) Well there is only one cantilever that is not coming from the BIG manufacturers of the styli/cantilevers and this is Bamboo Cantilever of Miyajima Madake modern MC. | |
| isolation feet for Luxman PD-441 turntable @bdunne last year another experienced a’gonner (213cobra) and a proud PD444 owner adviced me the following: My Luxman turntable footers are a multi-product combination.I use Herbie’s Grungebuster dots with two-sided adhesive...http://herbiesaudi... | |
| isolation feet for Luxman PD-441 turntable Actually the PD-441 is not so heavy, i use two PD-444 turntables with stock feet, why you don’t like them? I think the stock feet designed with the same idea that used in Audio-Technica AT-636 pneumatic suspension insulator (those are very good). ... |
