  1. I am in the process of ripping my CDs in flac. I've done about 40 so far. Each one is taking about 1 hr.

    I am expecting to receive my Wavelength Cosecant V3 any day now. I can't wait.[:P]

  2. Pete,

    My dream is also a 12" Ortofon. The cartridge is SPU G/T from 60s. I was lucky enough to get a NOS one from a new seller on eBay for cheap. I got the SPU G/T based on Allan Songer's recommendation and never regretted it. It has a full bodied sound with a mid range to die for.

    What you see mounted in the picture is a Denon DL-103D. I am using it with Cinemag transformers. Denon is not even close to Ortofon but it's ok for casual listening. I have a single Jorgen Schou transformer and I've been looking for another one for years. If and when I find another, I will remove the internal transformer on Ortofon SPU G/T and use it with JS transformers.

    Thanks for the mat recommendation. I've been meaning to get one. I will also need to get a spacer to raise the tonearm.

  3. One more... anyone know where I can get a pair of TAD 4002's ?? Every now and then I see them on eBay but I wonder about buying them from there...

    I've been looking for a pair of TAD 4002s myself for a long time. I saw them on eBay for as low as $2550. Now the price went up a little more.

    Roy has a contach who can get them for a little cheapter, but he needs to get several people interested as he orders them in 10 pairs I think. There is also a long lead time. I posted a while ago on the forum to see if anybody else was interested in 4002s so that we could order them together but did not get any response.

  4. Here is an old thread about tonearm wiring. Unfortunately all the useful links in that thread are dead now.

    I rewired my SME3012 with 33ga cardas tonearm wire. I cannot say it is an easy job. The most difficult part for me was soldering the thin wire onto the three spring loaded pins in the front end of the tonearm. Too much heat could melt the plastic housing and/or damage the springs.
