    Eliminating Empire 598 motor air noise

    Hi, we all know Papst motors are great, but do produce audible hiss. I was lucky to buy a NOS 698 motor which has no vibration - still its rotor moving air can be audible from 2-3 meters away in a quiet room. Standard resonant Empire wood plinth enclosure, open from below, actually amplifies...

    Pioneer PL-L1000 Issue

    I have a Pioneer PL-L1000 that I bought from someone locally around a year ago (replaced the tonearm belt after I got it) and it has been working perfectly ever since. I was playing a record a couple days ago and at the end of the album the arm didn't lift and return to rest but stayed spinning...
