| purchasing a Scout/Scoutmaster: need input please Agypsy, I tried to edit my original post but another poster posted before i got it posted. I asked some of the same questions before I bought the Scoutmaster. The answer I got then was that the Scoutmaster was a big upgrade over the Scout.I can as... | |
| purchasing a Scout/Scoutmaster: need input please Agypsy, I am the owner of the Scoutmaster you listed and I can tell you I would not be selling that table if I had not run across my dream table.My wife told me not to buy my new TT because the system sounded great with the Scoutmaster | |
| Isolation for a table for floors with movement If you must beef up your floor you could remove the sheetrock below and put new joists between the existing, spanning from bearing wall to bearing wall. This would make for 8" o.c. which should make for great rigidity.Also, consider that I have a ... | |
| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. Thanks Doug. This has been my normal procedure. I started it once with the switch and could tell there was a strain. | |
| Isolation for a table for floors with movement From a builders perspective, you are on a road towards disaster with that plan. Concrete is extremely heavy and needs to be engineered and built with steel rebar to be self supporting with a load. This is not the kind of thing you do with wooden j... | |
| Isolation for a table for floors with movement Inpep.., a great idea and one I used extensively in the 70's and 80's. I've mentioned this on other forums and it seemed so foreign to some that I don't even mention it anymore. I would not hesitate to do so today as long as you can get solid supp... | |
| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. Thanks for your help guys. I am thinking that the static is caused by the belt slipping on the motor pulley at start up. Considering the weight and size of the platter in comparison to the motor pulley, I doubt that static can be avoidedThe static... | |
| Isolation for a table for floors with movement Jsawhitlock is correct but you may want to use 2 jacks with a 4x6 spanning across the jacks and supporting all the joists which are under your system. Depending on the span you might use a 3rd jack in the middle. For a footer use a 4x8x16" solid c... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Thanks Samhar. You're right. My wife is also my best friend and has been very supportive of my music need. I have also ordered a tube amp and am looking forward to receiving it anad see how it compares. I must also say that since a few tweaks, thi... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Thom,I put the resistors back in on the secondary. They are 4.7kohm. i had them in the primary position before. I'm sitting and listening now and WOW. It really sounds nice. I'm still considering a new phono preamp though. Let a JLTI get by me tha... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Dan ed. Everything has a price. Wifey is making plans for the possibility that we will have to take her mother in. They need a place to put me. Of course, that's fine with me. We talked about building a shop out back with a listening room above. I... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Back from funeral and some progress made.First, I took the loading resistors out which raised the load to 470ohms. This didn't make much difference. Then I replaced the silver cables with inexpensive Wireworld Ic's. This made some difference but t... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I will be out of town for a funeral for a few days. Unfortunately, my sister died on Wed. I have lost the 4 closest people to me in the last 2 yrs, 3 of them in one yr.I have not had an opportunity to make any changes to my system yet because I ha... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I have updated and added pictures of my system so you can see it now. Lewm. Thanks for your explanation about wattage. i should have known that from my days of playing in bands and using PA systems. With a PA you usually run your master volume hig... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Thanks to all for your input. Regarding loading, it is set at 42ohms. However this is done via cheap resistors installed in RCA plugs and inserted into a Y connector at the input of the tranny. FWIW, I have never been completely comfortable with t... |
