I use hypex amp on my tapped horn (so ULF) and it is great. I use a plate version specifically built for sub duties. It has a 18db filter as well as a rotary phase knob which comes in handy! I have had no problems, and can not say its doing anything ...

I have a lot of respect for several TT designs, including the Micro 8000, for example; but I am very suspicious of this particular TT. The reason is that this TT appears to be more of an intellectual exercise than a "best solution" for the greater pr...

Hi. I acquired and spent a lot of time on this guy over the last few months. I've installed a Dynavector 507 MK II tonearm and a Dyhavector XVS-1 cartridge. I read Romy's comments that in his experience with the 8000 the belt doesn't affect the sou...

[quote user="dkarmeli"] What I called mental masturbation was the pretense to design of the ultimate turntable, not the musical experience or sound! [/quote]Well, neither you, nor me, nor anybody else at this site, nor anybody else who design turntab...

Sorry, I have a better understanding of the purpose of this exercise now.Are you making 2 new platters or is one to be the existing Micro Platter?Given that your RX 8000 appears to have a platter made of phosphor bronze (gunmetal) what is your s...

[quote user="hagtech"] I'm not convinced a constant side load on bearing is good. It causes assymetrical wear. Just seems to me a center balanced bearing with no lateral loads would be better. Merely an intuitive hunch. [/quote]

How about the 4" Fostex FE108E? http://www.madisound.com/catalog/index.php?manufacturers_id=131&sort=3a&page=1 It's only too big by 0.080", and if that bothers you, it would be easy to chuck by the magnet, & turn that off ...

Hi all... yes, a clean power is paramount for a clean sound... I run my turntable and pre-amp on batteries and the difference in sound is amazing, while I never used outboard filtering on amps, BUT I have a public mains transformer at 10 meters from ...

A turntable that is attractive to Morons that just so happens to kill them off...HA! Reminds me of the tantilizing glow of a bug zapper. ZZZAP! There goes another one.It seems that a liquid driven/suspended platter would have to oppe...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I do have an interest turntables now as I am looking to upgrade my sources (digital too). It is doubtful that I will go in such an insane direction...It would probably be much more valuable to dredge up an old RX-5000 or 8...

I came across a used TL-0 for sale yesterday (black version - looks nicer than current in my eyes). I listened to it through some 20k Accuphase amps and B&W 800D speakers, and the sound was very poor. Fortunately it sounded even worse when the TL...

[quote user="Paul S"]This actually LOOKS like a well-thought-out TT. Too bad the "review" is so over-awed/fawning. I can hardly read it. My suspicions rise uncontrollably and cloud my thinking as the cost-is-no-consideration "solutions" are meticulo...

[quote user="RonyWeissman"]I heard this TT, it was magnificent, almost no coloration to speak of, dead dead quiet. Of course it wasn't plugged in and there was no tonearm or cartridge yet but man I loved the sound! Really whatnthe hell is everyon...

1- Romy, a $200 microscope was shit 30 years ago when I bought mine and is still a piece of shit today. Manufacturing 5-10 SX-8000 type tables a year is inexpensive, its when you go to 50-100 units a year, AF1 market, that cost of operations escalate...
