Just a quick shot in the dark: Is it possible to convert one of these to play 78 rpm records? Thanks, R

OK... If DIY may be loosely defined as layman's R&D, I hope I'm posing this question in the right place... I've been reading a lot about reel to reel tape machines and the one thing that constantly comes up is that increased frequency response is directly proportional to an increase in tape...

Hi all! I've been trolling the web for DIY combination phono pre-amp and headphone amp designs that suit my skill level, but no luck. It seems the only options available are for separate units. Of these, two caugt my attention, namely the CMoy headamp and a phono preamp design based on the "El...

Hi all! Just a quick one: Does any one know where I can find these or perhaps even the 8v 200mA version? I need them for the backlights on my Marantz 2100 tuner. I've tried Mantech, RS-Components, Rabtron and Digi-Key. The only mention of these bulbs was on Digi-key - as a "non-stock" item...

Hi, I've been reading some of the older posts on the forum to get a sense of what the cause of my problem is: When I play a cd, the music sometimes seems to "jump" making a loudish clicking noise. This does not always happen and the same cd does not always give the same problem. Could it be...

Hi! I'm looking to replace the headphone jacks on my Pioneer SA-508. Any sugestions on good replacement 1/4" PCB mounted jacks? @GertB: What was used in the Aurelia? Cheers! R.

Hi guys! Anyone here heard of Pete Riggle Audio Engineering's VTAF (Vertical Tracking Angle on the Fly) and CCM (Counterweight for the Common Man) mods for the Rega/OL1/Moth tonearms? What are your views/experience of this product? Thanks and Cheers! R.

Anyone out there who could tell me how the options differ between the Moth RB251 tonearm and the Origin Live tonearm? Obviously the latter has upgrade options, but does the same apply for the Moth? Is there a cost/quality difference between the two? Cheers, R.

I recently ordered a service kit for my turntable from Fred Hifi in Paris, France. Received on Monday and proceeded with the service last night. What a difference it has made. Included in the kit are polishes for the scintered bearing and bearing shaft, a new metal thrustplate and ball bearing...

I've been wondering... In reel to reel machines: Does the pickup reel revolve at a constant speed? This would mean that the rated speed eg. 15in/s. is an average of the speed attained over the whole reel, right? At the start it would be less than the rating and at the end more, since the...
