| Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range? One more vote for Jasmine LP 2, preferably with upgraded output capacitors (Jantzen Z-caps for additional $25). | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? When the stylus traces the groove, it induces energy into the LP. Where is that energy going to go? If the LP is clamped tightly to the platter, the mass of the platter will absorb the energy. Without the platter to dissipate the energy, it is tra... | |
| Jean Nantais Reference Lenco Mk2 vs Mk3 I recommend looking at PTP Audio's website as another option for a pre-built modified Lenco. Peter Reinders has been custom designing top plates and bearings and rebuilding Lencos for a good number of years. His custom Lenco utilizes his PTP 5, an... | |
| Plinth for Thorens TD124 You can find some nicely crafted plinths on Ebay at reasonable prices for idler tables. Also visit Lenco Heaven and view the crafted works for Lencos and other turntables (Garrards, Gates, Russcos).I have a highly modified Lenco. If you are intere... | |
| Best DIY Phono Pre? You should visit DIY Audio. If I recall correctly, they have a XONO kit or guide to building one. | |
| Wasn't this forum going to be updated? "If it is not broken why fix it?" as the saying goes. This current set up has a simple and clean layout and easy to navigate.Why disparage the Audiogon staff? | |

| Suggestions for arm to replace VPI 12.7 Have you looked at the Transfi Terminator tone arm? Dave Garretson has one on his highly modified VPI TNT. Read some of his threads on the subject both here and on Audio Asylum. | |
| Any DAC comparable to my Linn Akurate CD ? I have a Tascam DA3000 that has a USB input. | |

They specialize in counterweights for a wide range of tonearms including Rega.The counterweight made a marked improvement in sound resolution through the whole fr... | |
| Do wooden arms warp Lewm, cursing and discrediting other posters, and stating that the issue should "be put to death" does not sound like a way to stir up responses. I observed you do this in a number of other posts. It is a bit tiresome.Why not stick with facts and ... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven Barbapapa, I have a WAV24 file to which I can give you access and you can judge for yourself. I use a Tascam DA3000 for the digital recording. Just send me a PM and type of music you would like to hear. | |
| Tascam DA3000: Analog to Digital Recording I purchased the Tascam DA3000. It is very easy to record from vinyl. The sound reproduction is indistinguishable from my analog deck. I am very pleased. | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven I had a Rega P3, VPI TNT (even tried the Teres Verus drive on it), Sony PS-X7, TTW Audio rim drive, Luxman PD121. I prefer my modified Lenco to all of them. It is the most accurate reproduction of sound and has the highest speed stability.My Lenco... |
