| Sota Reflex Clamp Loses Contact with Record I have used the SOTA clamp with a number of different tts, starting with a SOTA Star Sapphire. A few years ago, I noticed the very same problem to which you refer. As others mentioned, I found that by applying some downward pressure while activati... | |
| DC motors and outboard power supplies... No regrets, Are you absolutely certain that the belt is not slipping? If it's neither the belt nor binding up of the bearing assembly, then have you been able/are you able to measure the electrical output of the PS when it is running well as compa... | |
| Raven Black Night Dgad, you wrote, "VTA is adjustable from the turntable with zero variation in HTA while adjusting VTA." First of all, what is "HTA"? Second, and more important, do you mean to imply that the platter moves up and down to allow for a change in VTA? ... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 In other words, Nandric, messing about with platters is good, clean fun. Plus, having two turntables that both sound great but are qualitatively different from each other, is also fun. | |
| Triplanar Problem Yes, I agree it is difficult to locate all 3 holes at once and then position the arm as one would like it. In fact, I am skeptical that I can do the setup within 0.5mm error, but I will certainly try. Having a little play in the screw holes helps,... | |
| Triplanar Problem Thom et al, Since I am thinking of re-mounting my Triplanar on a new tt, I have just re-read this thread. I came to Thom's post, where he says the following: "My point is that even the metal jig should not be trusted, because of sample to sample v... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hey Jean, You were going to tell us about some new ways to reduce resonances in the stock chassis. What's up with that? Also, how are you doing with Peter's PTP? | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? The difference most likely = marketing plus 120V compatibility. | |
| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Ralph, It is always gratifying to hear someone else echo your own thoughts. The incredible image stability of the Triplanar is why I bought one so many years ago and have never looked back. I agree, like a good master tape, when all else is copace... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Raul, interesting to note that you even laugh en Espanol. We would be going, "ha, ha, ha!" | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Nandric, Great post. You've added a little high class culture to my day. That Richelieu was a card. (Means "comedian" in English slang.) But don't worry about Mike; he knows very well what he is doing and why. | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? You've probably seen the "shoot-out" (hate that term) that was done by a Japanese magazine in the 80s, wherein two reviewers listened to about a dozen of the top TTs of the day and ranked them according to certain qualities. (Someone will no doubt... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? Nkj, All I can say is, "Gulp!"; your Garrard is gorgeous. Unless you need the money to apply to your next purchase, I would say never sell that. It is as good as money in the bank and may be an appreciating asset. I see above that you like to keep... | |
| Well-Tempered Golf Ball? I'd have to dig up some of my Columbia 18-holes to play on it. | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 I would agree that the Kuzma Stabi Reference is a superb choice. Don't recall the model name of the Lurne' that I once auditioned, but I do think it was an early effort. Anyway, peace be with you. |
