November 3, 200916 yr Lo-D AD-093: BLUESS Laboratory Anyone know anything about the Lo-D AD-093 record cleaner?
November 3, 200916 yr Thanks. Hopefully Oz will bring by a new set of head shell leads since I broke the clip of one of the wires removing the broken cart on the table. It is a beauty.
November 3, 200916 yr Author I think we're gonna have to get a little DDs versus belts holy war going.
November 3, 200916 yr the age of the galiber is over, and the age of the biotracer has returned Long live the biotracer.
November 3, 200916 yr Wow! Nice Mike! Looks to be in fantastic condition! I may have a decent headshell for that laying around here. Let me know if you don't get one soon and I'll locate it and ship it out.
November 4, 200916 yr That looks totally sweet. There just is no substitute for all that vinyl goodness. Have fun!
November 4, 200916 yr Wow! Nice Mike! Looks to be in fantastic condition! I may have a decent headshell for that laying around here. Let me know if you don't get one soon and I'll locate it and ship it out. Steve, I got it working after I was able to get some replacement wire leads. However, if you have a headshell that will work with this table/arm I would buy it if it's for sale. Thanks everyone, so far it sounds good. It will have to wait for Jp #'s arrival to be dialed in.
November 4, 200916 yr It is not for sale, but if you'll PM your address again I'll be delighted to give it to you. I have zero use for it. It's a nice little Technics headshell, that worked great on my Mitsubishi LT-30.
November 4, 200916 yr Thanks. It looks like it will work and it's definitely easier to change out the leads. It was a bit of a pita on the Yamaha headshell.
November 4, 200916 yr Found it... I'll get it out in the next day or so Mike. Very kind of you Steve. How many Tices long is that headshell?
November 4, 200916 yr Very kind of you Steve. How many Tices long is that headshell? That would be approx. .25 Tices Sir. Some people must be scratching their heads now thinking 'what the hell are they talking about'?
November 4, 200916 yr Just for fun, and also for something completely different, see if you can find an Ortofon SPU Classic somewhere at a good price. It's not the most accurate cartridge around, it's not going to pull every last detail off a record, but it's gotta be one of the most fun cartridges around if you want a fat kickin' bass groove for your music. I've heard a couple cartridges in the SPU lineup on an idler drive and direct drive 'table, those systems had the biggest most dynamic bass I've ever heard in any system. You're probably not going to want to use it with all your music, but if I wanted to break out a Bob Marley record for instance, that's the cartridge I want.
November 4, 200916 yr That would be approx. .25 Tices Sir. Some people must be scratching their heads now thinking 'what the hell are they talking about'? I was scratching my head. That thing is 0.18 Tice at most surely? But then we have the metric Tice over here in Europeland
November 4, 200916 yr Hot Damn, I just swapped carts from the Dyna 17D3 to the ZYX Fuji SB, while I really like the dyna the zyx is outstanding. I gotta hunt down a used airy cart. This is super silly having a $1400 cart on a $200-$350 used table. The Airy 3x is phenomenal.... you won't be disappointed! get one if you can. Its silly money, but someone's got to do it
November 6, 200916 yr Just got the Clearaudio Virtuoso that I bought of agon with the soundsmith re-tip and rubt cantilever. So far fucking fantastic, I was concerned about the input impedance of the combo jacks on the Sonic Studio 302 but it just sounds great straight up. I may have gotten this wrong but I understood the impedance to be 200 ohms for the TRS and 3.3k for the xlt path of the combo jacks. This would mean the TRS are in a good place for MC carts and the xlrs are doable for MMs but neither sound great out of the XLRs and the TRS inputs rock the house for both MC and MM, weird. If you ever lunch your expensive cart I would heartily recommend Sound Smith for a re-tip/new cantilever.
November 6, 200916 yr 'lunch' is fancy high-end turntable speak? no it's low brow speak for eternally fuck up or to render useless through gross user negligence.
November 6, 200916 yr Ah, hadn't heard that one before, should've been able to figure it out through context.
