I don't know that NAD, but you need to run an adapter from the line out RCA's to the input mini-jack on the Mac. If it has one. If it doesn't you need an adapter to USB plug most likely. The Mac also needs to be set to use that input, I like a little program called SoundSource which sets that...

Beautiful! Thrust plate is what the platter shaft rides on. That round plate with screws in the 4th and 5th photos.

BTW, I was missing a rivet on my 135. A chromed tack has a head that is very close in size and appearance.

My local Ace has them in metric sizes in "the little drawers". Needed perfect lengths for a Thorens shell.

It doesn't if used wet, you are correct. But it does if used for a quick dry dust swipe. While a folded/rolled microfiber cloth typically doesn't, at least for me. Live in very dry climate, so might be part of that.

If they are resigned to possibly losing it anyway, might be worth trying stronger measures to get inside the motor. I'm sure we'd all be interested in the guts. Meanwhile a note to Mr Hall might work out... http://musichallaudio.com/contact-us/

Nice Empire on there! Good find!

You know far more than I do, and I haven't seen one of those motors, so this is general. If you have some moly additive for lube oil (use very sparingly) it will fill in voids a little bit, and is sturdy enough for motor vehicle gear surfaces. I have also found that Rotella T-6 tends to quieten...

I'll watch my bandwidth. I can pull the link in a moment if needed.

Nice! Mine takes 45-75 seconds from disengaging 33.3, depending on what I've done with the bearing and what lube I'm trying. I polished the stock bearing by hand and polished the tracks in the spindle, then put something to fill in the dimple, I think it was a tiny bearing ball from my...

I've been evangelising about FLAC in general and put some up for a new acquaintance to try. Thought maybe someone here would be interested in my humble efforts. Kind of an odd assortment. DL-160 on a TD-135 with stock arm in a heavy plinth. EDIT: Due to lack of interest and my unlikelihood of...

Interesting, hadn't heard of these. The results don't seem much different from a discwasher, and both have that leftover dust line. Which I now swab up with a dry folded and rolled microfiber cloth. And honestly, I think it does most of the work in my regimen. In a way the discwasher was an...

I'd wipe it out with alcohol to pull any oils off the metal. But yeah, otherwise you'll see if there's something hiding once you turn it on.

I think I bought a spare, speculation piece from the end of the Comet era. Have thought about the 301 more than once. Thanks, AudioJag, I'm guessing more detail without losing that wide stage? To clarify about the stylus size a bit, for some reason my 160 has worked well with well-used...

Thank you! I've been thinking that I'll miss mine when the time comes. I think Denon is making a mistake discarding the small-diamond carts; they are probably harder to assemble. Did SS use the same size stylus? Mind giving a rough cost and time for the work?

I prefer the voice with the DS2. Instruments are more of a tossup.

I'd just like to see one in person someday. Esp if operating. Wonder if the Revox guys had one in their offices at one point.

I like my PX99, it's quiet. You did well. Only tricky part is aligning the cart with that printed template. Be gentle with the headshell.

How do you adapt your line-in's to work with it? Looks like FR have Mic inputs only.

Doesn't matter where you start, as long as you don't hurt your records. That way you can play them on your new table someday and wow at the difference. It's an attractive table. Some of those Stanton DJ tables had a short straight arm which isn't the best for fidelity, so you're moving up. Let...

I offered to set them up and bias them for his outlet voltage, which was reportedly lower. Since he owns an ST-70 I didn't press it. Some people don't want strangers to visit their homes. I am still not sure why there is animosity toward the buyer in replies here. It seems anti-AK. Every...

I'm also a little sad that two nice cloth-wrapped Dynacos are being used by a tech to rip someone off. Feeling huge regret about the sale now. I had other buyers but this one was closest and I wanted them to be safer by not being shipped. Thank you all for your helpful replies. I have huge...

I don't know that they were restored in soundmotor's sense of the word. I didn't restore them, but work had been done and it was clean. Functionally perfect from my standpoint, but the only Dynaco's I've owned. Cosmetics were okay, clean but not polished. Here's one of the ads I put up, the...

This just in from buyer, likely a bit of a translation from what his tech told him... "Bad tubes Chokes are bad - enamel on the wires wore off, disintegrated Output transformer bad - should have 12 rings, getting 1 on one amp, 0 on the other. Input transformer should be changed. Driver board...

Thanks to all of you for taking time. I've been thinking the same things, and it helps when someone else says it. The buyer is a great guy, loves audio, and has been saying patient things, but the tech is a friend of his. So I'm being diplomatic about questioning the diagnosis, but I got the...
