Funny thing is that recently I had 4 Walker Proscuitto owners buy Technics SP-10mk3 motor units from me in a matter of 2 weeks. I think a guy in the states, who had said Walker TT, also created a plinth for the Technics and it happily put the Proscui...

I should have known the new Technics tonearm was not a "factory reinstatement" of the old EPA-100. Having just googled it, I can now see it looks more like the (later but still discontinued, I think; also, cheaper...) EPA-500. On the one hand, it f...

The BIS used to print their equipment on their CD booklets. The one I like most in terms of sound quality uses this recorder:http://cgi.ebay.de/Technics-Profi-DAT-Recorder-SV-260_W0QQitemZ320227893694QQihZ011QQcategoryZ96269QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQc...

Like I said before, my favorite analog threads are the Technics threads; but 103 threads run a close second.These folks are downright fervent!Mention the 103 in the same breath with a Technics TT and watch the counter roll blurred until it blows smok...

I would like to buy new turntable – just to listen to music every evening. Current set up is rather entry by level – Technics 1210 with Grado Gold and Trichord Dino. However it could produce more or less correct time picture, and involve me into the ...

The cat in this videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1iKaZ9KKds&NR=1looks nearly exactly like Callie when she was younger. (The actual picture I took was too large to upload, though I did email Romy a copy.)This is a way better use of all those ...

Romy, I hope you are not saying that this post was somehow taken as "Hot"?!? I mean, this is just a straight-ahead, generic info/opinion post, right?The only reason I could see to find fault with the post is if someone had some sort of "investment" ...

Hi Romy and GuyI've been checking out various plinths for my new DIY project. The project's base is a Technics Sp-10mk3 motor unit.When you say a materials 'frustration' I guess you mean the choice of alloy and the quality of the casting? Inproper ca...

I believe a lot of the issues with earlier DD tables was that they were all servo controlled. That is, a feedback loop kept the average velocity constant. As a musical passage of complexity would slow the platter, the loop would respond w...

Yes, Paul, I did not think this way but you are very correct. Technics TT, Denon 103 cartridges, Fostex speakers, “single girl with balalaika” music and Adcom CD players are kind of come along all together very well. It is not that I have something t...

It's a pisser, all right, but a high-demands, OCD hi-fi nut might "realistically" spend years trying to get the most from a "serious" TT/arm/cartridge rig. IMO, most people are probably better off with something "easy to use", if that is not an ...

Guy, that is a VERY interesting observation about your sense that belt drive speed is "cyclical". I agree that belt/heavy problems are more "long term" versus DD "short term". So in this sense I suppose it's pick your poison.&nb...

Hi guys, these do seem quite interesting, but much of the written hoopla i've seen is coming from some of the less interesting characters on another BBS. from a fairly capable system i heard last week, the S&B's set for maximum gain&nbs...

Guy, I have used a Technics DD and thought about the lathe/DD connection. Then I thought about the idea of various transducers, from microphone to cutter, to stylus and speaker, and I wonder if TT/lathe is a similar case, where s...

With regard to 'How fast to get to correct speed' These are my steps:- Hand spin the flywheel first- Hand rotate the platter until the Tach reads around 33rpm- Start the motor - Speed will be within 2-3% straight away - Due to the PSU altering the vo...

To Antonio,
it is not necessary to “to find some mat with those characteristics of yours”. The characteristics of mat would be applicable only I context of the TT you use (platter, suspension and so on). With my Micro 8000 that has very dead soundi...

It is entirely possible to buy a good flat CU-180. I have two from eBay there were correctly advertised as being flat. I have also seen them on eBay as being "slightly bent". Those you avoid.But I agree that a replica is a real possibility. I never s...

I have owned and played with a couple of "classic" idler-driven TTs, but I was very young at the time, and incapable of pushing the design then, even if I'd wanted to. As it happened, I abandoned the idler TTs for a belt-driven Rek-O-Kut "broadc...

Coops, do you have any personal observations or ideas about the ultimate TT, or are you already invested and just checking my credentials? I would like to know your thoughts, too, based on your own personal listening habits, preferences an...
