| APO Doors Reissues musicheadthanks for your summary. i have only compared the s/t to it's original us 1st pressing. i bought strange days at the same time but didn't have the 1st pressing to compare it to.those are the first APO releases that i was disappointed with... | |
| APO Doors Reissues i do prefer the us 1st pressings over the newer pressings. maybe the tapes have deteriorated over the years making the new releases inferior. not as much information now as there was when the recordings were made 30+ years ago. that's the only exp... | |
| APO Doors Reissues yeah, you're right musichead. i need to get a close-and-play record player to try these new releases, maybe they'll sound good then. | |
| APO Doors Reissues Sonofjimmy analog front end that i played the door's lp's on is a tw acustic ac3 with a davinci grandezza arm and benz ebony cart. probably too revealing for these lp's. i did try spinning them on another table that i have a stock denon 103 instal... | |
| APO Doors Reissues i found both strange days and the self titled are very thin in the bottom end. i couldn't listen to them. sold them both. the original u.s. pressings are much more dynamic and enjoyable to listen to. the more revealing your system, the worst this ... | |
| Making of the Doors 45RPM Vinyl re-issues i recently purchased the self titled and strange days. i was very disappointed with them sonically. the packaging was beautiful, but that's not why i buy lp's.i found both lp's to be so weak and thin in the bottom end that they were unlistenable. ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System my thoughts on airborne feedback. i believe it to be real, but difficult to identify. what i did to minimize it was to minimize the surface areas that could absorb airborne vibrations/waves. i did this by building a "nude" rack. i eliminated side ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System in-shore, halcro is correct in the 3 points he makes. my mandate when i designed the pod was to have as much adjust-ability on-the-fly as possible. i can adjust azimuth and sra on-the-fly. i also wanted to standardise on armboards, as i have a mic... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System brad, you are correct in the 3" dia and 3" height. it's solid stainless and it is heavy. you're also correct in the amount of thought required with the design. i spent lots of time at that stage before the machining started. all of my plans were o... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System bradthe mic is set into a counter-bored hole in the top of the shaft and held with a small set-screw from the back.there are many different mic heads available. just check out the starret website to find one that suits your application. they are a... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System bradthe brass sleeve on the stainless shaft is just a spacer. it was easier to machine. i needed 1.18". machining 1.5" stainless would have been more difficult on the small lathe. so i chose to keep the shaft and mating hole at 1" and machine a sl... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System bradi only have assembled pics. is there anything specific that you need to know?also, thanks for the idea of weighting the panzerholz pod. for now, i am using it as-is since i do have another stainless pod half made. it will not have the micromet... | |

| Best Pre with a built-n phono section? i have owned the copland 301 for years. it is a tubed unit with a fantastic phono stage that is a true giant killer. i just recently replaced it with separated and am not decided yet on whether i will sell it or not. i may just keep it for the pho... | |
