I have replaced a tonearm connector with a DIN plug and converted the associated phono cable. I like the jumper on that cable allowing the arm to be used on a suspended deck and not have a stiff wire preventing the suspension from working properly. The rest of the cable provides 125pF...

It isn't fragile. I change cartridges in a minute regularly when the boys drop by and we are comparing. The arm must have been abused or caught to have broken the piece The headshell wires, I have a few with bad wires and I'll get around to replacing them eventually as I'm looking for a deal...

Yes, I bought one while selling them in 1979/80 and another one in 86 that came on a tt consignment sale. I got Jim to try one he used for a few years and of course, Tom Clone dove in pretty heavy into vinyl and had 4½ of them (broken end that holds the headshell), then he got out of the...

I think I saw a few of those available at Digikey with free shipping if you send em money with order. Gotta add state tax, if required but since they are not manufactured in China there is no tariff.

yes, they are probably not doing all that work for us but for our great grand kids.

One of the things I like about the guys dropping by on a weekend day for tunes is they bring records and Mark is ok using my table. Others seem less inclined to because the tonearm is a unipivot, the cartridge isn't cheap and I like it when the muting switch is used so no one hears any miscue...

Love the name of the group (duo), Was thinking about playing B.P. Empire when bro and sil were here but went with Jackson Browne instead. I don't think they would have liked IM as much as I do. The JB was a hit.

Just the other day when that wax burning smell was in the living room. Indications I was pushing the DQ-10s with the POS-2400 Denon some here don't like. Seemed to sound good. Would have used it today but I had major auxilary gear malfunctions similar to NeverSatisfied and moved back to the...

I use the tuner in the bedroom system every night. It is the aforementioned Citation 23. Since I mentioned that one, my Luxman T-110 has been aligned by someone that knows how to align a tuner without having a manual. Came out great and it took the place of the Yamaha TX-1000 that had...

Played a new group of gear, POA-2400(just cleaned enough to use) into the DQ-10s(regular) supplied by a Technics SL-P118 CDP into the recapped but lightly used Yamaha C-4 set up on the table, long wires to the speakers. Hear Etherwood and a coupld Jon Hopkins CDs. Need to clean the volume...

Thank you to the Wesly Chapel Magazine for this picture. I could get one but I ain't going outside. Too dark for a good picture and getting cold here now.

Linear tracking tables. Not gonna be any pictures but I have experience with 2. The Technics SL-5 that showed up here. Don't recall how but probably a CL deal with other stuff. It didn't work and was only one speed. I found some wiring and fixed it, wrong. Had no interest in it and gave...

Just amazing what the new devices are doing to open up the universe. Ever since Hubble there are lots of finds being made, not that there weren't before but with the Hubble and Webb the understanding (that they are telling us) and the pics are very interesting. 8.5 billion years of light...

The eol caps a puny. The UKZ are at times larger than original caps. I guess it's time to Panasonic. Using the cap selection diagram on Nichicon's site makes it easy to find the caps to use then one needs to hope they are still available. They have been eol-ing small caps for a while...

AK Database has the OM, SM and Sch for the SA-9100 Attached is a file from fat fingers a former aker who made a list. I just grabbed it for my files and have not vetted it. Yours for the dl opportunity.

Well if you're calling the SA-9100 a receiver I see why you are out of your element with a full restore on that unit. But the pioneer gear is very well documented, they actually have useful service manuals. I've done an SX-5580, the tuxedo-clad SX-1050 receiver. Pretty easy to look over the...

Maybe more than one, possibly restoration guys that don't do the wrenching but he is part of what is going on. Just checked 2 mechanics and another 5 for restorations and he wrenches when he can.

Leads right into "Hold my beer and watch this." not that this is the case. Jay is probably well versed in how to mess with his vehicles.

I'll get to it. I've got a pile of cartridges, arms and tables. Only comment so far was from the gig a week ago. The 126/BW/ADC and 500/Unitrac/MC30 Super and only comment was the MC30 was a cleaner sounding cartridge. Not much more than that. I was hosting so not sitting in the spot so...

The Adcom Cross Coil Line Trace cartridge is the same as the SAE 1000LT HOMC cartridges being offered for a c-note on the bay this week. Thought I would give mine a spin and compare it to the ADC XLM I have on my lightweight tonearm. Was going to be comparing the TD-126/∞Black Widow/ADC...
