Jhakobe Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 I’ve a bit of a solstice tradition of settling in early with some enjoyable vinyl and a special beverage. This year it’s Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense on the refurbed KG1.5s and a new to me SW-450, and some Laphroaig scotch. Cheers! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 ACH JA ...I couldn't say NO again , since today I have my NoS Entré 1 MC in operation. Originally manufactured by Soltear Acoustics Inc. Japan. The Lentek Entré 1 MC was designed by Mr. Matsudaira, who began his career as a designer at Tokyo Sound Co. in 1959. For ten years he worked for NHK (Japanese National Broadcast) where he designed tonearms and cartridges. In 1967 he moved to SUPEX as chief designer. From 1970 to the late 1990s, he worked as a senior designer for many famous brands, including Entré, Miyabi, Kouetsu, Audio Craft and Air Tight. In 2003, he founded his own company My Sonic Lab in Japan. Technical specifications: Frequency Response: 10 Hz – 50.000 Hz Output Voltage: 0,2 mV (3.54cm/s, 1000 Hz, 45 degree) Channel Balance: within 1 db (1000 Hz) Channel Separation: better than 28 db (1000 Hz) Compliance: 10 x 10-6cm/dyne Impedance: 3.0 ohms Recommended Load Resistance: 100 ohms Tracking Force: 1.8 grams + 0.3 grams Vertical Tracking: 20 Degree Stylus: diamond Elliptical, with a radius of 0.3 mil x 0.8 mil Mass: 5.8 grams Mounting: ½” or 12.7 mm Runs on 100 Ohm Load & 74 dB amplification, sounds simply enchanting! 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Merry Christmas for all of You too! @Full Range @Dave1291 @MicroMara @JohnJ @GWSmith @Tim Sr. @MeloManiac @billybob As You may know, we had a nasty storm here for the past three days, yesterday a little snow. Snow didn´t last long and is now replaced by perpetual rain. Doesn´t look like white Christmas (again)... Too warm... But, it´s the right weather for spinning and having good food! Stay healthy, all of You! 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
