    A tale of two platters. Does the platter, matter?

    A spindle like you describe would not have threads for the VPI clamp. I have no idea what an SP10 is but I am pretty sure it had nothing to do with a VPI turntable. @Tedrick To my dissappointment, my platter weighs 22.44 lbs. Thank you for the response. It is niece to hear from you, it has...

    A tale of two platters. Does the platter, matter?

    Now that I am doing some more web searching and reading, I'm thinking the TNT platter may be stainless steer rather than aluminum. Anyone know?

    The crush strength of the bearing is measured in tons. I'm thinking it will be ok. :)

    A tale of two platters. Does the platter, matter?

    I built a turntable, known as the 100 pounder, although it weighs more like 120. The platter and bearing assembly was from, I think a VPI TNT 5. The platter has an aluminum bottom, is filled with lead and a black acrylic top and weighs 22.44 lbs. It fits the description of a platter from a TNT 5...

    Jack Kerouac's stereo

    Yesterday I visited the home where Jack Kerouac lived. In addition to being the last home of the famous author, it is like a time capsule from the '60's. The furnishings from 1969 when Jack died is there. I snapped a pic of his stereo, a wonderful Magnavox console I thought may be of interest...

    Marantz 2235B

    I use the term 'survivor' in the sense it is used for classic cars, unmolested and in very good restorable condition. In the pix there doesn't appear to be any scratches or dents. The usual circular smear on the faceplate around the knobs is not there. It looks like it will clean up well.

    FM Auto vs. FM Stereo Selector Setting

    FM mono is 15 kHz bandwidth. FM Stereo is 53 kHz. If the signal is weak a lot more noise will be let in. The "Auto" mode will let the tuner switch to Mono if the signal is weak.

    Adcom GFP 555 and 565 prices

    A friend of mine has had one of my GFP 565's on 'trial' for three years. About a year ago he asked about the price and I told him what the prices were on eBay at the time. He pleaded poor but he drives a $75,000 full sized, fully loaded, luxobarge diesel truck with racks for his kayaks (plural)...

    Power amp for new to me power hungry speakers

    The sensitivity of the LSA 2's is 88 dB which is about average but in my book is kind of low. As far as speakers in general, most are between 84 and 92. My speaker have a sensitivity of 87 dB so I share your dilemma. Sensitivity is the SPL in dB measured 1 meter from the speaker with 1 Watt...

    What does digital mean to you? and why?

    @newzealand I have a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+, a Brooklyn Bridge and an Onkyo DP-X1a. I have a subscription to Tidal for music. I also have a turntable which I built myself but it doesn't get as much use as it did before.

    What does digital mean to you? and why?

    Can no one to explain what digital sampling rate is? It would seem if one understands digital sampling rate they could explain what it is.
