Posted by DocWatson on 2003-08-05, 07:39:43 (66.54.1.38)
Well I have a similar Lp12 /ittok. I went on a journey from a K9 through a Clearaudio Aurum Beta S -which was very good and recommended -through a Grado Master Reference which was a bit thin and would .......

Not by any fancy means . I had them both plugged into one of the cheaper monster audio powerstrips rewired with a DIY power cord. This is just rerouted to the single outlet on the SDS. I should try re .......

Am I the only one to be surprised?? My Linn has an Origin Live DC motor driven by a wall wart. My TE Micro Groove+ is also wall wart driven and has the touted lithos regulator in it. They were already .......

Well my knowledge of acoustic treatments does encompass what David says although it probably does bear repeating for any other neophytes.I strongly recommend the second of the 2 montcrieff articles in .......

Thanks for your replies chaps- I tried the amp forum but so far have got no responses. I agree that the positioning is absolutely critical with these speakers and I have spent months using the Cara ro .......

What are your power amp experiences?? I am using a MF A3Cr pre/power combo(120w pc at 8ohms , 210 at 4 ohms) . Previously they were driving B&W 805's extremely well- not a complaint and as much bass a .......

I am using a MF A3Cr pre/power combo(120w pc at 8ohms , 210 at 4 ohms) . Previously they were driving B&W 805's extremely well- not a complaint and as much bass as the little 2 drivers could handle. .......

Can any electronic guru's help with a quest for more power?? If I gang the the 2 pairs of outputs from each of 2 MF A3CR power amps and use each to feed a single (nonBiwired) speaker would I get 240 w .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-06-05, 15:42:43 (151.200.214.162)
I have been using the MF A3Cr (which I think has the same phono stage)with a variety of cartridges including a Clearaudio Aurum Beta, a Grado statement master and now a Lyra Helikon. I wouldn't descib .......
10: Vinyl Asylum, Azimuth and an Ittok (0.00)
Posted by DocWatson on 2002-06-03, 18:31:18 (208.58.217.204)
How important is the azimuth ? Assuming everything else is correct how audible is a couple of degrees of 'lean' Then for the bonus -is the Ittok azimuth adjustable by loosening the 3 little screws at .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-06-03, 18:20:54 (208.58.217.204)
Not to denigrate the above path but I can strongly endorse both the DC motor and the carbon fibre chassis as alternatives. I had disbelief that each offered more than a cartridge upgrade until I did t .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-05-25, 18:25:54 (208.58.216.43)
After your trials with TACT etc you clearly have the patience to model your room with the CARA acoustics program. Doing that virtually -and comparing arrangements give you a very good idea of how well .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-05-11, 18:00:19 (208.58.216.49)
Well for value and a cost of around what you have in it already the origin live DC motor kit must be in there for consideration. The upgrade transformer is good but even without it for about $400 you .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-05-01, 06:46:16 (208.58.218.13)
But it wasn't $800 ,-or $450 for that matter. They both came from audiogon and the (new) grado didn't cost much more than the list for the clearaudio. .......

My original Lp12 was just above level with my sony 9000 playing SACD's . Now with OL motor, Cetech chassis and this cartridge the cd's are staying on the shelf while I work my way through my (expandin .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-04-30, 17:42:38 (208.58.216.186)
My Lp12/Ittok isn't supposed to work well with a Grado and I see many folks down on them here. I just mounted a Grado Statement Master in place of my Beta S and I can't believe how much more music I a .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-04-13, 09:31:38 (208.58.217.157)
There is certainly more mechanical noise than with the Linn induction (brushless) motor but this does not translate to sonic noise and is only audible quite close to the turntable.In my experimentatio .......

Posted by DocWatson on 2002-04-12, 18:22:41 (208.58.216.202)
I get the impression that the Wallytractor is hard to get. I would like to give Mike Novak credit for the best 'free' protractor I have found. Check out his page where you can download the .pdf file. .......

Hi all. I have just finished installing an OL DC motor kit with upgrade transformer on a 1987 LP12 /Valhalla and, with only a mild caveat, I can strongly recommend this conversion. The improvement in .......

On the other hand if you have a problem with a ground hum from a metal cartridge through the Itok then tightening it ' Linn tight' will just bring the hum back. I have got away with leaving the arm in .......

I certainly never bother to turn mine off. They are pretty robust. I still haven't worked out whether to play it with the cover on or off after all these years though. .......
