FWIW, there's at least one Knowles MEMs microphone that goes well over 100 kHz, maybe as high as 200 khz, and they're not terribly expensive....
Cool pulleys! On the cueing discussed earlier, it's possible to get the desired drop rate by messing with the lube and spring, but the real intent...
There's cardboard and there's cardboard. I've built subwoofers in Sonotubes and, properly designed, they work just as good as anything else. I...
Hi Mike- keep meaning to call you but it always ends up too early for you or too late for me. Hope all is well out there.
Something to check for- take the platter off and just put the bearing cartridge on the spindle. Rotate it with your fingers. If you can feel any...
Sol grounding was "everything common", which works best without a separate ground wire. If you cut the connection in the pod, a ground wire is...
Yes, Sol was designed with that in mind, but we never mentioned it. The desire was more for a long arm, than to do the transcriptions discs, but...
The pivot height should nominally be near the playing surface, but don't worry too much because if you change the VTA, you'll change the pivot...
FWIW, Sol has a separate motor because of the problems I've had with plinth mounted motors. Some have done it right, but far from all. With a...
All my hum type noise is down at the hiss level of the cartridge, but ideally it should be zero. There are many paths of ingress, some easy to...
Sol is wired so that you don't need the extra ground wire and it will probably have lower hum without it in most systems. More to follow when I...
I'm on a very flexible surface right now and can hear some motor hum with my head over it. Haven't listened for it though headphones or...
Everything follows the platter height, cueing adjust and height of the arm pivot post. I like to start out with the .5" number, but the original...
Couple things- I also get the best results using the small+medium anti-skate weights. It looks like you're running two filaments, or it's an...
In all honesty I don't know very much about VTA. No doubt one can find lots of conflicting in on the 'net! One thing I remember hearing is that...
Separate names with a comma.
