Have a Victor UA-7045 tonearm coming
knollbrent, are you talking about Vlad out of CD? chakster, I assumed that this was going to need the isolation bushing but was wrong. Even with the weight out at the end of the stub it barely moves down. Not a single scratch on the tonearm tube or anyplace else. I’m more than pleased, it’s much nicer than I was expecting. No hint of corrosion either, a big problem with stuff coming from Japan, an island in the middle of the Pacific. BillWojo |
@billwojo no not Vlad. I will not reveal my time machine operator as I don’t want too many people invading his vault. :) Great deals do happen. I bought a mint Luxman PD444 with two NOS arm boards for $2000 from Japan 3 years ago. Had mint cover but of course they always break in transport. There are great deals out there but rare. If it's not broke, don't fix it. @chakster |
lewm 1. ignore the #’s on the tt arm’s anti-skate dial, they are often way off. I prefer the notched rod/dangling weight of SME type, one of the features of the long arm I bought. 2, start with the blank lp, whatever it’s made of, it get’s you CLOSE https://www.dropbox.com/s/gw99w7d345p7wz5/Blank%20Record%20Antiskate%20Setup.MOV?dl=0 3. REFINE using very familiar music with strong l/r/c content, like the one’s I keep posting (I don’t like test lps, but they can work). a. CD version to verify the system is truly balanced b. LP version, adjust anti-skate for matching imaging, done. 4. My familiar music. a. three distinct guitarists, and equal live audience sounds, side 2, tracks 2 and 3 youtube of that lp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3BzAKHCEvo b. center done right, Cassandra Wilson on this entire album. https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Light-Dawn-Cassandra-Wilson/dp/B000005HBI c. Eurythmics, Studio LP’s, lots of strong l/r, sound effects, Annie Lennox centered https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurythmics d. take along CD versions to evaluate a sound system and bring these two hear their voices distinctly https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0TDMyM7csK7M0YPSSy8tXyM0vSlUoSU0sKlZIzcsvTc9QyISxAFO... lots for evaluation, and Richard Burton better sound like Richard Burton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Wayne%27s_Musical_Version_of_The_War_of_the_Worlds

war of the worlds The album was one of the first recorded on 48 tracks, using two synchronised 24 track Studer A80s at Advision Studios in London. It was engineered by Geoff Young, who brought the recordings together with only a 16 channel desk |
Hello to all vinyl addicts! I am always impressed at the level of detail we as a group delve into in search of that perfect sound. Having recently retired I am reviving my vinyl addiction. I recently acquired a new denon103r, had terry robinson at paradox pulse repot the cartridge, and had Joseph Long replace the stock cantilever and tip with a ruby cantilever and a Geyger S diamond tip. However ,on my origin live modified rega 300 arm on a bassis 1400 table something seemed missing. Having read a little about proper tonearm/cartridge pairings, I found a used ql-7 with a ua-7045 arm. As the table looks very old, motor doesn't quartz lock, but my immediate concern is getting the arm refurbished. Does anyone here know who would be the best to restore the arm, (then eventually the motor), (then I will see if I can find a wood craftsman herein Vt. to make a plinth out of solid maple.) Any thoughts or help is humbly appreciated. Greg |
