| Lenco tables Rich, If David is up to building one for you I would go for it. Lencos definitely have alot going for them and I'm confident he can get as close to the max as anyone of what they can offer. Even if it doesn't prove to be the last table you ever bu... | |
| Vinyl and long cables or interconnects I believe that the only connection you might have a problem with is if you try to situate the table a good distance from your pre-amp. Long runs of tonearm cable are rarely good. However, if you can place a phono stage next to the table you should... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Chris,do you think you'll have a DD prototype ready for next month's open house? That would make for some more fun! | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Raul! What? Out of all those arms, cartridges and table you don't have a good idler wheel? I think you're a great candidate for a Lenco! | |
| Shelter 90X Tracking Force Marc, I learned a great trick from a post no too long ago on this subject by Nsgarch. He had a great technique using a mirror and jewelers loupe. Try a search and I bet it comes up quick. His technique uses the vertical position of the stylus to d... | |
| Basis Turntable Yep, that's what I understand the "super" belt is. I never got around to trying it on the Basis tables I owned but a few other Basis owners told me they thought there was an improvement.Thomas, I have to believe that with your Walker motor control... | |
| LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe? I've used it but did not notice much difference either good or bad. So it is not part of my normal routine. The times I did use it I was careful to do a good rinse after the application and I do use a vacuum rcm. | |
| Shelter 90X Tracking Force More really good, practical solutions here! I used to remove the platter on my basis in order to stack things under the scale to get it to the record height. What a PITA! The problem was that I did not have enough flexibility with the arms I was u... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? I posted in haste before and did not get my point across. I love the joking as much as anyone and don't mean to sound like a curmudgeon."I'm going to conclude from this meager participation that direct drive is a better performer than belt and few... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? unfortunately, this thread has turned into a joke as cwlondon predicted. | |
| What causes that pulsating sound on my PC? Can you tell the frequency of the signal. If the needle is not down on a record I'd bet it's table rumble. It could also be LF feedback. You can check that by turning the volume all the way down if you're listening with the speakers connected whil... | |
| E.A.R. 834P Stltrains,If the two units are that close now I can assure you that moding the 834p will take it way beyond where it is now. There are actually several sources for mods. There was a thread not too long ago on the topic of modding the 834p, so do a... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Direct drive, idler wheel, belt drive. There are good and bad implementations of all of these, just like suspended and non-suspended tables.BTW, your car analogy is a bit flawed when you consider what the engine's flywheel is designed to do. A sto... | |
| E.A.R. 834P SirSpeedy,I can understand the choice you and your listening friends made. I had a fully modified 834P when I bought my Aesthetix Rhea (used) and it was quite remarkable how well that little black box did when A/B'd against the Rhea. Especially fo... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine I've been using my DIY rcm for a few years and have had a few opportunities to compare it with a VPI 16.5. Mine wins hands down if what you're looking for is the absolute loudest vacuum in a rcm. (I've got to build a better cabinet, maybe in the n... |
