Technics 1210 internal regulation mods

[Wakefield Turntables]

It's not about wow & flutter, Andrew, more about stability and lack of jitter. After all, the various Superclocks work very well in CD players (I know, I had one fitted to my Sony SCD-1 and it wasn't a small upgrade) so why not in a turntable?

The problem is that the frequency is very unusual and crystals hard to come by except for direct replacements. So creating a Superclock of the right frequency is the issue. I had Mark of Audiocom look at the problem, but there is no solution at present.

However, Purite claim to have done it to the Technics circuit in the Monarch, so it is possible at least in theory.

Aaaahhhhh getting ok who's going to buy the monarch so we can see how they did it

Lol... I'd love to test my Techy against it! Mine did not too bad recently against these chaps:





Trio L-07D (as standard) fitted with £3k Transfiguration Orpheus MC cartridge.





Systemdek 3D Precision, Da Vinci Grandezza 12" arm, Allnic Purtias cartridge (around £20k in total).





Shown on Hutter rack is a Brinkmann Oasis (direct drive), Graham Phantom B44 Mk2 arm, ZYX Airy 3 cartridge (around £15k in total).


Here are some better pictures of the T/T in question, although not Dave's actual one (which is shown in the pic above, between his modded DBLs):








More info on the Brinkmann, here: http://www.coolgales.com/store/cart....&category_id=8 and here: http://www.audiorevelation.com/cre/p...roducts_id=230


...all played through one of the finest phono stages I've ever had the pleasure to listen to: an Allnic H3000V:





An utterly STUNNING!! device


Full report to come of how my modded Techy performed against the above high-end behemoth T/Ts (on or before the weekend) - miss it at your peril!!

The Inspire Monarch is an amazing bit of kit, judging by what l heard at Whittlebury- incredible sound

I've not heard the Monarch, Andy (although hate how it looks), although the T/Ts above were no slouches either!!

The description of "The wire goes from C217 to the bottom leg of R104 (one of those 3 big standup green resistors in the lower left of the board." implies one wire. So far so good. But pic 2 shows two black wires connected to R104. What is the 2nd black wire for and where does it go? Any ideas?
