| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC Turntable interconnect cables need to be ultra-low capacitance and should have both the signal and the “signal ground” leads shielded all the way to the phono stage. Most turntable interconnects rely on the “signal ground” as the shield, which is ... | |
| Anyone had the equipment customized ? High ESR means that the terminals of the cap will not present a low impedance to high frequencies. Since bypass caps are in parallel with the Vcc pin on ICs, that means the noise is still present. The only way to displace the noise is to present a... | |
| Minor Vintage Repair? The current limiting resistor is needed on a plain LED because it will only handle 20mA at 2 volts. | |
| Minor Vintage Repair? The parts express LEDs would probably be close enough. | |
| Minor Vintage Repair? Take garden variety green LEDs and solder in series a 680 ohm 1/4 watt resistor to drop the current. Use a 560 ohm 1/4 watt resistor if you want a little brighter. | |
| I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks? Corian or other solid surface makes excellent shelving for audio racks because it’s so dense and inert. | |
| Anyone had the equipment customized ? @spatialking said:Rail to ground decoupling caps work much better at killing noise when they have a moderate amount of ESR in them while DC Blocking caps passing a signal work best when ESR is held to a minimum. That is incorrect. ESR in bypass c... | |
| Anyone had the equipment customized ? I’ve upgraded my phono stage with a Burson SV6 Classic and regulated power supply. Soon to modify my integrated amps to bypass the integrated phono stages. | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? The golden age for audiophiles began in the late 70’s and ended around 1981. There was only one focus: to make the most faithfully reproductive system in the analog domain. The digital age was only a distraction. | |
| voltage problem Go off the grid. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? Do you want sarcasm with that happy meal sir? | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet @chakster (Technics feet are) 100% junk on SL1700 (and mk2 too) just like on any other technics OLD turntable. Not a very objective statement. There’s more to the story also. The feet are are designed to work as part of a system. It is the whole s... | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet Isonoe are not designed for any Technics model, only the SL-1200mk2, which is vastly different and inferior to the spring suspended SL-1700 and SL-1700mk2. | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet Looking at photos 11&12 on pic click https://picclick.com/Technics-SL-1700-Turntable-Plinth-Genuine-item-Cabinet-392013998923.html#&gid=1&pid=11the suspension is the same design in principle. Drilling and tapping the holes for the old ... | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet The spring suspension on the SL-1700 is excellent. The mounting should be to the plinth via aluminum brackets if it’s like the SL-1700mk2 which then suspends the TNRC floating base that carries the spindle and tonearm. Since the spring suspension ... |
