    Technics SL-1401 needs some love

    Hello folks, I'm dedicating some attention to my Technics SL-1401 to do some maintenance. The turntable was bought by my dad new in 1978, I started using it at the age of 4 (in 1991)... and it has been in continuous use to this day. I ask you if you can help me, I have 3 questions: 1)...

    Ringing Garrard Model 82

    Hello, I have seen a number of forums on deadening ringing aluminum platters, but the use of rubber mats and felt and Plastidip rubber coating has had zero effect on this turntable. I cannot find anything that would be scraping the platter, and I have used a couple of different idler wheels...

    Adcom GFA 555 II - AC fuse question & fuse holder needed

    A fellow gave me is subject amp today for free. He only said it does not work and that he changed the fuses. Upon inspection: - the switch in back was in mono-bridged position, so perhaps why he thought broken - the fuse in the AC fuse holder is a 20A fuse, way above the 12A spec. Two...

    Sumiko MMT and FT-3 damping

    I've had Sumiko MMT and FT-3 tone arms, in great condition, for many years. I've never filled the damping fluid reservoirs, and would like to try it, but I've read descriptions on-line about internal plastic parts in the tone arms melting, ostensibly due to leakage of the damping fluid. Does...

    Damping -- is it something average analog users need to worry about?

    Well, the subject says all. I've avoided the issue all along, but now I just wonder. Can damping be totally ignored for most average analog users? Or, is it something that needs to be considered like VTF, overhang, compliance, and azimuth?

    KEF 107 Upgraded Xover, Size and impact on speaker volume

    Having in mind to recap the crossovers of my kef 107, opening the cabs to have a look at the woofers crossover, i had the surprise (surpise might be an understatement, the shock might be more appropriate) of finding an upgraded crossover with Solen capacitors. The seller did mention that the...

    Fixing Grace 707 Damping w/ Pics

    When I bought my Luxman PD121, I quickly noticed that the tone arm lift handle's O-ring had broken. Chunks came out followed by dripping damping fluid. Quickly thereafter, the damping was gone. Searching online, I couldn't find any guides other than a 2007 post on DIY Audio (here). But, that...

    Revox B790 underdamped speed regulation

    Hello all, I have a Revox turntable in working condition, I've replaced all the capacitors, diode bridges and whatever is reasonable in such an old machine, the regulators I remember, in practice all the components that Revox experts recommends to change. The speed is OK, from time to time...
