    ADC Cart ID?

    Hello. I have a 1974 Pioneer PL-10 manual turntable that my sister bought new and left with me in 1979. The cart says "ADC" but no other ID, stylus is K8E. The cart is a black plastic base and chromed metal body, is there any way to positively ID it? Secondly, how long do carts last? I...

    ADC Sound shaper One Woes

    I am very new to all of this and still learning, so be gentle with me. I am working on this Sound Shaper One EQ, I opened it up and R122 was smoked, so I replaced it with a 1K ohm resistor as per the diagram. I powered it back up and after about 10 seconds the magic smoke appeared again so...

    ADC Accutrac 4000 Fully Working

    Made a few other posts asking for help but the table is finally working and in tip top shape. Started by taking the cover off and soaking all of the buttons and scrubbing them with a toothbrush. I think the previous owner was a smoker because the water turned yellow three times over! Then we...

    Is retipping an ADC ZLM possible or a bad, crazy idea?

    Hi! I am very, very pleased with how my ADC ZLM with the original stylus performs. I got it nos so there should be many more enjoyable hours left in it. But, but... one day it will wear out. I am worried it will be too soon becauese I play it so much, since it is so nice to listen to :-). Of...

    ADC with USB output

    Hello, I am currently trying to assemble a microphone. I am already working on the amplification to line-level, but I need to send it through USB to my pc (and it should recognize it as a microphone). I have seen many DACs with built-in USB input, but other than SPI and other protocols not...

    ADC ZLM - will it match with any of these tables/arms I have?

    Just picked up an ADC ZLM with what looks like a fair amount of tip left on it. Would love to try it out, but after reading about its delicate suspension I'm not sure if I have a match in tables/arms (I have a bunch of tables, including now the Miida T-3115 table this was mounted on). All of...

    ADC XLM MkII Improved Repair?

    I inherited an ADC XLM MkII Improved cartridge. Unfortunately, the Left winding is open circuit (the Right winding measures 830 Ohms). Perhaps the internal connection from the winding to the pin has come off? How difficult is it to open up the cartridge and perhaps repair it?

    ADC Pritchard Headshell

    I was wondering if it’s possible to make a proper headshell for the ADC Pritchard from scratch. Any help or advice is appreciated!

    $300-ish suggestions replacing for a HRT Linestreamer+ ADC?

    Hi all - it seems my five-year-old HRT Linestreamer+ ADC has given up the ghost. Major bummer. I've tried a number of ADCs over the years for the purposes of recording vinyl, mostly 45s and some '50s and '60s jazz LPs. In my experience nothing quite captured the sound as smoothly as the...

    Looking for advice how to make counterweights for an ADC LMF tonearm

    Hi! I´ve been asking about ADC tonearms in this thread. https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/educate-me-on-the-adc-tonearms.934549/ But now when I got one and have this very specific question I thought I might as well start a new thread about it. Hope that´s ok. So I got this really...

    Anyone have any experience with ADC XLM MKII Improved cartridges? Thoughts?

    Just curious if anyone has any experience with the ADC XLM MKII Improved mm cartridge with a diasa elliptical stylus. Have the opportunity to grab a NOS still in the box with the stylus for under $150. At 1.0g optimal tracking force I was thinking of trying it in my AR/XA as it seems it would be...

    Phono Quieter after ADC Equalizer Connection

    I recently acquired an ADC Sound Shaper Two MKII to help correct the sound in my listening space for use with my TT set-up. My amplifier is a Kenwood Basic M1 and my preamp is the matching Kenwood Basic C1. I have the equalizer directly connected from its input and output to the tape in/out on...

    CD/Optical players and possibility of DAC to ADC in order to transmit over HDMI/digital link

    Concern: I have a concern/question that I can't seem to find an answer to out there on the information superhighway. I've been experimenting with and doing some research over analog vs. digital audio connections from cheap Blu-ray/CD/optical media players. The consensus seems to be that the...

    Technics SL-23 Cart reccomendations ADC K8 cart on hand.

    Hello, I am a noob when it comes to vinyl. I have cleaned up the pots with deoxit and replaced the oil/grease on the spindle. The cart and headshell that came with it is from an ION USB turntable. GT something. After balancing the tone arm and using a printed protractor to confirm its alignment...

    ADC 18A loudspeakers

    My father purchased these speakers new in the late 1960s and they've been in his house ever since. Last week I acquired them. This version is four-way, two tweeters, 5.25" midrange, and 15" round drivers. They sound great, are very efficient, and the cases are in great shape. I see very little...

    The Ultimate Vinyl Rip system?

    Yes, the title's a bit tongue in cheek but recently I've acquired some new digital gear/software and I've been ripping vinyl and 15IPS 2 track tapes to digital and the results have been surprisingly good. As a result I wanted to share my experiences and to enquire as to what the equivalent...

    Sansui SR 929 with ADC 2 and Supex cart

    thoughts on the styli? I think the ADC is the 2 with the removable head (thus not as optimal as the 1?) Looking to by the turntable to go with either my AU 9500 or my AU-D11mkII Any and all input welcome.

    Recommendations for a modern pre-amp/receiver

    Hi all, I'm ideally looking for a single quality unit that will accept phono inputs from a turntable and output 1) a high quality digital signal for input into a computer but also 2) output to a regular, non-powered pair of speakers. This may be an unusual request but having one unit that can...

    What sounds better for a Technics SL-D3 - the ADC PSX 30, or the Audio Technica AT95E?

    It's a Technics SL-D2. I purchased the TT used, and it came with an ADC PSX-A cart. It has a blue stylus, so I am guessing it is a PSX-10. It sounded good (before the stylus broke), so I either want to upgrade to a PSX-40 stylus, or just buy an Audio Technica AT-95e cart. The ADC is a P...

    My Kenwood Vinyl Rig Needs a Cartridge

    OK, so I have two Kenwood turntables, a KD500 and a KD600. I haven't decided which one I'm going to use. I have an SME 3009 MK II Improved en route (the one without the removable headshell, by the way). It's mass is said to be 6.5 grams, so I'm gonna need a high compliance cartridge. I see...

    Problem with ADC Sound Shaper One Ten Mk. II

    Hi, all! As you've probably guessed, I'm having a problem with my ADC Sound Shaper One Ten Mk. II. As of a few days ago, I had replaced five capacitors on the unit, and I thought that fixed my issue, but, alas, it is still giving me problems. When you turn the equalizer on, everything seems to...

    low cost analog-to-digital converter?

    The ADC Astrion: The unveiling.

    I’ve been doing some serious listening to the ADC Astrion for several months now. It’s risen to the top of my favorite list. I wanted to share how the cartridge was packaged and how ADC presented it. This is from 1981 and it’s kind of over the top. ADC (post Pritchard) was making a statement...
