Nice one ta.

Very interesting Scott, ta for the heads up. I've not heard of that device before.

Out of interest, have you got a video of how well it navigates the Torture Tracks on the same disc?

Hi ya Marco, its actually my own copy that I've owned from new IIRC. We did have 2 copies, I gave one away so any damage would've been done by me. When I 1st got into 'hifi' as a teenager I had all...

Remember this thread?!

Well so had I too until I was reading through HiFi World readers letters the other day when lo and behold, a fella was having exactly the same prob on the same LP and same...

I confess I had to look into what 'Effective Tip Mass' was, huzah for Vinyl Engine. OK, as I understand it the lower electrical Z of the 'R's generator coils reflects back mechanically through the...

Ta Marco. Well if the 103 is a duffer, its got an identical twin!... as I've got 2 x 103's that both exhibit the same HF 'characteristic'. They've both been previously used (by me) on my other TT...

Major fettling this weekend. Interesting results. Does anyone know if there's any differences in stylus profile between the 103 and 103R?

I understand the generator is lower Z, and the coils use a...

"Consultation Sessions".... Heh heh heh. Welcome MrT.

Eeeeeek, wot, y'mean me an' vinyl!?:) But....but...I've got tons of the stuff, I started collecting in 1973!

OK, Ta Neal, that link has got the brain cells ticking. I've got more experimenting to...

Still haven't given up!

Right, so I'd removed the little rubber O-rings on each headshell and I've made up some nice neat copper replacements.

See......

Ta for the O ring advice Marco and Neal, I've removed the rubber O rings on all three headshells I'm currently playing (ooopppsss... I mean carrying "out experiments on"...) and am making/modding...

"Back on the scene with a naff tracking machine"... as a Hip Hopper might say!



I share your disappointment Marco!!!

Yup's I tried increasing VTF a smidge to 2.6 but it made no difference in...

Will do Neal, I can get the back lower so that pivot is lower than the Head shell a bit. Over hang is set at 52mm with the simple techie overhand gauge. It doesn't tie in with the standard 9" tonearm...

:) Yups! Have the CD too Chris, sure the LP is 'hot' but its not OTT IMO. The 110 copes admirably, the 103 doesn't.

Thats sound enough reasoning to me :)

OK, picture if you will a 103 on 10g headshell with a 9g spacer made of copper adding mass. Arm level with the LP surface. Tracking set to 2.5g, anti skate...

Aaah yeah,I've looked at those solid aluminum 103 bodies before, tempted I must say. I used to run a nuded 103 in DIY 12" Schroeder clone and that was awethumne until my beluvved accidentally trashed...

Wind direction? Flavour? Whats to hand? :)

FWIW the Technics Headplate I got from Juno is magnetic.

I'm making up a small brass plate to add mass.

More news as it's made, whahey!

DTB

No!... but then again I'm a Southern Hippy Veggie!

Been reading through this thread but still can't find an amount of Mass to add to a stock Arm in a bog standard SL1210 if I wanted to (and I do!)...

Hi ya Marco, yeah, I only know how to build nice stuff, ugly ones are a no-no! Arf! :)

Ta for the links, I had a quick search through a while back but hadn't seen those threads. I'll have a read...

Hello,

I've got a Technics SL1210 Mk2 here in totally bog standard form, its in lovely condition thankfully. Does anyone here use a Denon 103R in a totally standard un-fettled SL1200 here? If...

I've brought the 3CD set of this. S'funny hearing this album in micro-detail on CD for me. I like the burst of noise/mush that comes when the mic opens on 'The Wizzard Blew his Horn' vocal on disc1....

Aaah, I see.

DTB

Yep you're right, they did. I remember working on some that had a large 10" ELAC driver in them mounted on a side panel made of hardboard with holes in or summat.

Did you repair/use the Coomber...

Bang on. I used to work in Brixton/Camberwell at the 'Electronic Maintenance Section' of the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) in the early to late 80's and these TruSounds Record players...
