Vinyl - Record Spinning

[Jhakobe]

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!

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!

Admission of Jealousy, and!! So glad for you George on that acquisition.

I am still hunting though, I have time, plenty of time to score a few good MC cart's. I really appreciate the suggestions you offered to me as well.

Moving forward to the  mood setting music here

Digging up the past really, sounds of growing up, times and memories here...

Wow 

Great information on a cartridge that was really not in my radar loop as I knew little about it 

[Full Range]

I do have to apologise about my absence in posting records lately 

However I have a good reason?

 

Granddaughter 3.5yo and Wife decided to take over my music room for Christmas for a few weeks 

So I can still play in background mode via the Bluesound Node as the whole system is obstructed 

 

Don’t believe me - ha or should I say HoHoHo and just post a picture 

They even put trolls on my TT 

 

Wishing you all a veryMerry Christmas 🎅 and I know it’s a day or two early as we are 12 hours ahead in Australia 🇦🇺 but I will be head chef on Christmas Day so I may only have a quick check on the forum to see what’s new 🤘

 

 

Oh and I forgot to mention that Darth Vader has joined the tree life this year 

 

[GWSmith]

Good evening friends, and I am sorry for MY absence as well.  Lots going on with work and all at this time of year (pipe organs demand our attention for church, Christmas performances everywhere.....

 

Meanwhile, I wanted to certainly get a vinyl posting before or during the Christmas season.  So, I dug out Vince G. and enjoying on the UTurn \ livingroom system.   Here are some photos currently..

[GWSmith]

.....On the UTURN for a spin 

Got the hearth all set for the season, and my dinner guests later this next week.

[GWSmith]

....and the big bow window.....for the enjoyment of everyone inside and out 😊

[GWSmith]

.side B just started....   Merry Christmas/and holidays my friends🎄.  Happy COOKIN' Paul.  My turn is coming up

[Dave1291]

Merry Christmas to all of you curmudgeons!  Enjoy it!  Kick back and let it happen!

 

[AndreG.]

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!
