I wonder if it would work with the fluid damper fitted?
It's a great concept and I still use the AT version on my other turntable.

Interesting question so I decided to open some boxes.
I have two DL-103r. Both have traces printed with black ink on paper typically used for plotting such things. However the 'older' one which...
It looks really something, congratulations!
I look forward to your opinion of the sound.
Very nice - I have its brother, the V20.
Same with me just a few minutes ago.
I'm only speculating, but I suspect it may have been a patent/licence issue.
I've also seen them advertised as ''Cable Pants" !!
I use an ebony body from Stanley Engineering in Germany - readily available on that selling site. I also have their 4-pin connector in ebony. The body is a "slide in" sleeve. You have to remove...
When I mount it on my 1210, the headshell assembly (rebodied cartridge + hardware + extra weight + headshell) comes to 29grams and I balance this out with extra weight at the counterweight.

"hi, yes ive tried 20,000 cs and 30,000 cs damping fluid,the original 12,500 sounds the best to me,more open and airy.
i already have mass at the headshell due to the damping paddle for the rock.
i...
You have two elements that "take no prisoners" - the Decca and the Yamahas.
I know as I have both!
However the Rock should be a bonus. Have you tried adding mass to the the Alphason, or...
I had my Blue retipped and at the time he recommended an "extended contact" stylus used with a tracking weight of 1.8-2.0 grams on a level tone arm.
It tracks well and sounds great!
Alignment can be challenging as the diamond can be very difficult to see on an alignment template. On the Rock this is compounded by the paddle arrangement. It may just fall into place, or like my...
If the bass is annoying the neighbours below then you need to decouple the speakers from the floor. If you couple them with spikes then you will just transmit clearer bass down to your neighbours. ...
I had similar thoughts and am experimenting with one made from Rhino board - a 9-ply flooring board which is 12mm thick and has a satin black finish. I use it for my OL modified RB300 and it allows...
It's an interesting read, but sadly does not cover recent history:

Where they are too deep to polish out, I've known of some people having them wrapped.
(think car window tint, available in shades from clear to dark)

Excellent little things.
They came in two different heights of pillar (though both are adjustable).
Only drawback I've found is they are not compatible with the standard arm on the SL1210 as...
What a great find!
Don't dismiss the damping paddle - without it, the Rock is an ok turntable, but it's the fluid damping that really makes it something special.
Coincidentally, a similar discussion running on AudioKarma with some tech stuff on pages 2 and 3:-

Someone will soon regret a missed opportunity.
I followed the same path with a 103r and had Soundsmith fit a new alloy cantilever (to keep the 'Denon' voice) and elliptical tip for better tracking - it works on both counts and I consider it money...
Fix..!
Wow! Yes, that's the one. I think I preferred it at £6.95
Yes, same idea. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of the ATs - they also came in two height sizes.
