| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp I called Mr Scott Frankland, nice fellow, and spoke with him about work that could be done on the Classic 60. He indicated that the 4 caps aren’t soldered in, but screw in. So, in preparation of getting the amp I have purchased 4 Kemet capacitors... | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp @djohn I was considering trying to change the caps myself. I've done very little soldering in all actuality, but I am pretty hand and have good dexterity in small spaces. To that end I've been watching all manner of youtube vids on the subject a... | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp Sorry, bi-wired then | |
| Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp I live in an area devoid of any quality electronics repair. And before I send the unit off to AR, is there any simple visual things I can check or should be aware of? I bought the unit from Upscale Audio. I’ve purchased an AR PH3se from them and i... | |
| About the cheapest cable elevators (for those with empty pockets) I find when the pool noodle color is the same as the LED color of the equipment a nice synergy develops and you optimize the ground circuits, but your results may vary. | |
| About the cheapest cable elevators (for those with empty pockets) @jtcf i think I’m sensing sarcasm here, just a smidge | |
| About the cheapest cable elevators (for those with empty pockets) But what if you need more statues? Then you have to go back on vacation, by the time you get your plane ticket, hotel room, eating, then back to the gift store and by then you’ve spent well over 2 grand!i don’t know Geoff, seems expensive to me ;) | |
| SoundSmith Counter Intuitive for VPI tone arms Yep, I have it on my Prime and consider it a must have for ease of set up. | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR I got the joke Dekay;) made me chuckle | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR Thanks for everyone’s comments. I have decided to keep the tonearm. Currently I use an LP Zupreme head shell, a KAB fluid damper, and a Funk firm mat with a deer hide mat on top of that. My Phono cables are Purist Audio Design Venustas Praesto Rev... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR Ive been reading from various sites that the arm is one of the weaker links of the 1200gr.here is one such site:https://ammonite-audio.co.uk/is-it-worth-upgrading-the-new-technics-sl-1200gr-turntable/They also make armboards for SME and Jelco arms... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR I do have an isolation base. And I’m on concrete so that typically helps too. | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR So, when looking for a new arm, the p/s should be less than or equal to 225mm. So if the SME is 233.2 mm the the new armboard would need to adjust, is some direction away from the spindle, 8.2mm. Is is this generally correct? | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR Well, per the manual the overhang is 15mm. So does that make the p/s distance 215 mm? | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR Forgive my ignorance here but the SME has a pivot to stylus dimension of 233.2 mm and the techniques has an effective length of 230 mm. Are these names of these dimensions the same thing or do they represent two different dimensions? If they ar... |
