Direct drive turntable modifications...
Hi Mark,

Hi Marco, apologies but i found it mildly amusing simply because there is naff all information out there on this deck of mine. I went searching for a decent image & all i got was AoS stuff. This was no doubt because i own one & post on here, so all sort of AoS images came up ;)
The only info i could find is about as much as i know myself which is here.
Naturally i want to find out more, the chap that posted that thread wasn't underestimating the weight of either the platter or the deck itself :eyebrows:
Obviously i'm not wanting to make the tread drift but i would certainly like to find out more about what i have here & possible modifications that will benefit the thing. Hense my posting on here in the first place :)
You do a lot of that Mark, care to hum a tune ;)
Well... I didn't even know an "aiwa AP2600" was a direct-drive turntable! :eyebrows:Quote:

Lol, anyway - gotcha now, Mark! It was just the way you 'announced' it in the middle of commenting about my trip to Martin's. I didn't get the connection.
Marco.
One thing i would like to ask Martin ' did you notice the pitch wavering prior to this sesh or is Marco much more sensitive.
Very good write up Marco ' quite superb really ,are you thinking of getting Mike's platter or holding out to see Dave's.
Hi Chris,
Thanks, mate.
Martin will no doubt answer that himself. As for the other bit, watch this space - that's all I can say at the moment! ;)
Marco.
Apologies, my bad :doh:
There is really no info out there about the thing, but obviously because we are talking a similar system (quartz lock direct drive) it got me interested ;)
As i say though i'd be fascinated to find out if this deck could be modified to accept a new tonearm etc. I'm not sure the platter needs to be heavier :lol:
Apologies for the thread drift, i'll shut up & read you review Pt 2 with interest :)
Nowt to apologise for, matey - it's all part of the cycle of entertainment! ;)
Marco.
I know that one! Crash Test Dummies!?
So do I, and I think it has 'hum-ina, hum-ina' in it somewhere and some heavy breathing..... :eyebrows:
Marco.
Good question, Chris. To me, the PSU differences manifested themselves somewhat differently. I wasn't really aware of a low level pitch wavering then or now (I was listening for it this afternoon), as Marco heard. For me, the killer difference with the SR5 especially is the attack and start/stop characteristic of notes and the extraordinary width and depth to the soundstage. Marco and I obviously hear slightly differently and there is also the fact that I am much more familiar with my system than he is, meaning that he can possibly hear things that my brain has just accepted.
