Turntables and Licorice Pizza

[bobabode]

What do you have for a licorice pizza spinner? What's a decent table? I've got a Dual 1019 on the shelf, a Technics 1650 with speed issues and a knock off Linear something or other. Time to look for a decent spinner, I guess.

[finnbow]

I have a Pioneer PL-41 and like it a lot. I'm pretty sure Boreas has one in his collection too, or is at least quite familiar with it. I really like it. There are several long AK threads on this deck. Very attractive and rock solid performance - a poor man's Empire.

Those no respect Technics belt tables can be had for not too much money....I use one.....

it is hard to get a decent table out there....
i like factory cassettes better lol

[CarlV]

I have a SOTA Sapphire, Thorens TD 280 mkII, 150mkII, well and a second in pieces, 124 mkII, 135 mkI, use a Sanyo Fisher out in the garage, a couple of the 80's Technic mid-fi models, a Sony automatic. Oh yeah, an AR-XA.

Do you have any idea how to repair a broken contact ribbon where the cartridge plugs into the tone arm? That's all it is, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I can only find one tech shop in North America that still services B&O turntables and they are expensive.

We have a special Harman Kardon misspelling thread at AudioKarma with some zillion posts - you also like to misspell the name of my favourite brand - so feel free to enjoy that one. :D

It is one of the most famous threads over there! :D

Chris that one makes me think of the two Pioneer tables that I have, a PL-88fs and a PL-44fs both HOMC tables works in a drawer. The sound is far better than one might expect and the PL-88fs is direct drive track selectable, I call it my 12" CD player. The stylus alone was $69.95

Main tables are a Yamaha PX-2 (Denon DL160) and a Rega Planar II (Signet TK5e).

[BlueStreak]

My daily driver is the Pro-ject with the ClearAudio Aurum Beta S wood MkII.

The two linear trackers, a Revox and the B&O were excellent sounding tables when they worked properly. The Revox is EXTREMELY sensitive to level. Plus, I think the Grado Z2+ (Gold Equivalent) that's in it is too low compliance for it.

Dave

[4-2-7]

How much had you planed on spending?

I have done the buy everything chasing a sound and found it's not necessarily the table. Im a firm believer that a high quality cartridge makes the table. In other words a good low budget table will sound like a high dollar one if the money was spent on the cartridge instead of the deck.

I have a little Mitchell Focus One, SME 3009 and it had a V15 ii on it. I really like the table but was looking for more. I bought a SOTA Star Sapphire, SME309, Sumiko Blackbird and this table is awesome. I was so impressed with the Sumiko I decided to buy the next step down in price for the Mitchel. The Blue Point Special EVO III, now with that cart on the Mitchlell, one has to justify the cost of the SOTA as far as sound quality.

That said the end result is SOTA as my favorite deck and have bought 4 of them.

I could maybe sell one of the SOTA's
I have a very clean Thorens TD 125 with a Rabco arm on it now but have a SME 3009 to put on it instead.
I also have a very clean Techniques SP 2000

Oh yeah, I have my mom's 6300 out in the garage. I got it, well took it from my older sister who was destroying it. She lost 1 and a half of those crappy feet where the rubber shrinks and gets hard so they fall apart, she stacked things on it until the dust cover cracked, sheesh. I need to rethink those feet, I guess save the junk originals and figure out a good at least semi-audiophile replacement. That and change the universal cartridge.
My mom bought that, a HK 730 and a pair of AR10 speakers from the Fresno Pacific Stereo in 1976 0r 77.

Neat-o, thanks! Maybe I can figure out something there. I haven't even looked at it in six or seven years I guess. It is too bad that they go for stupid money nowadays, not that it really matters, I sure wouldn't be buying one at these prices. Maybe I am missing something about these turntables....

Deep into this thread about Elac TT's . Seems like there's quite a following at AK.

[d-ray657]

Never having aspired to be a purist, I have nevertheless found a TT that I enjoy very much. I found a Craigslist ad a few years ago for a "broken" Sony PS-X5, a fully automatic turntable. It didn't have a headshell and the feet were broken. It is very heavy with a substantial platter. I put a headshell on it with a Grado Silver, got some spikes to use as feet, and have it sitting on a piece of slate on my stereo bench. It has provided hours and hours of pleasure.

I am currently using an AR-XB in my mancave system.

So, automatic or stick shift?

[icenine]

The Akai tables really fly under the radar...I was listening to one I bought for 25 bucks today at the Klinic....simple semi-automatic with a cheapo p-mount Sharp cartridge....

the thing has been going since 1978 or so...its beat up but I like it


I bought it 3 or 4 years ago

My son, a child of the iPod generation, came home with a box the other day and announced he got a "record player". I looked at it and told him it was a turntable. He was disappointed as someone had given him a Jim Croci album and he wants to play it. He thought he could play it with just a turntable.

Tonight when I came home from work, son and husband were busy tinkering with that "record player".

Seems they have a new project to work on together.

Those industrial 'tables are sweet. There was one on ebay not too long ago. I forget what brand it was, but it was actually two 'tables on one thick, steel plinth and it had 16" arms. The ad said it weighed over 400 lbs. Looked to be 1970s vintage, maybe. It went for stupid money and I imagine the shipping was horrendous. But, it would be cool to have.....:)

So, now my son has speakers and a receiver. He is looking for a needle now. And he went to a garage sale and got six albums for $5.00 that he can't wait to listen to.

I was surprised at his choice of albums. But, coming from a garage sale, his choice was limited.

He got John Denver because he thinks he's heard of him.

Alabama and Willie Nelson because he knows he has heard of them.

And a couple of old Bill Cosby.

http://audio-database.com/PIONEER-EXCLUSIVE/player/pl-41.JPG

I don't have one any more. (If I did, you would never have got that dustcover off of me. ;)) They're really nice tables.

Bob, I note that the two tables you say you have are changers, as is the ELAC you asked me about earlier. Is that what you're looking for?

The PL-41 and a number of the suggestions so far are single play manual turntables, the opposite end of the stick from your changers. They lack the convenience of a changer or even a single play automatic or auto return turntable but some believe that the lack of mechanical complexity in a manual makes for a much more reliable turntable and also a better sounding one.

For myself, I prefer single play auto return because you don't have to remember to get uo and take the arm off the record at the end. They're far less complex than a changer and also less complex than a single play automatic. Also, the good ones suffer no loss of fidelity from the return mech.

Not yet. I have a BeoGram 4004 in the cue for refurb. I opened it up to get all the cap values, and I ordered the parts, but haven't done any bench work for almost a year now. Gotta get back in the groove.

Tone arm just tracks across to the stop, then goes back to rest position. I read up on posts about the most common problems, and it's usually cleaning the mechanism and replacing the bulb for the electric eye.

The Dragon rock formation is still there at the top of the campground. Caltrans shut off access on the M50 to the Grove of the 100 Giants for roadwork :(. So, no Sequoia sitings. Too bad Patty wasn't up for the one mile hike to the Slide on Upper Peppermint Creek, you can't drive up there anymore from the main road. Have you ever been there?

We found our old cat Maggie of The Kern River up at Limestone in the early nineties. She adopted us on one of our trips up there. Good ol' Tortie lived to nineteen years old in bliss. :)

Yes, we used to go up there with our beer occasionally, to escape the mid day heat.
Both the kids learned to swim in the Kern, right there at the park in town. There was a great rope swing at the downstream end of the park. You had to swim pretty hard after jumping off to get back to shore before the current pulled you down river.

They had a huge fire burn it's way through the Johnsondale area. It took out a lot of timber. There was even signs that it swept through Limestone. I've got a thread going in Off Topic about the trip.

I'm not sure which Altecs you have, but some are highly regarded and others aren't. Same with the HK's. The XT-2's have better reviews than the XT-3's do, but are rarer. I don't know what it sounds like yet, it is in the mail at the moment. To quote Nate:

I was listening to it in my system with my Denon DL103 last night and I've got to say, I think you're going to like it! Very nice presentation from these. If another pair of these pops up, I'll be grabbing them!

[Twodogs]

Mine are red, and model number 15095A for whatever that's worth. Now I got sucked into a sand pre that I love. It's the Hafler Iris and has a MC stage that is to die for. It has liked every MC cart I've thrown at it. Presently running the DL103R. That have a bad habit of their power supply regulators getting hot and blowing up (LM317 I think), but that's easy enough to fix, just add mo heatsink.

Funny thing on that subject. I have an Arcam CDP that is 24 bit, and Creek that is 16 bit with the double crown chip dac. I run them both in my main, but the creek usually gets the disc. I don't understand it either.:confused:
