    Where do you go to sell your unwanted equipment?

    I found out that silly rule, IMHO, when I listed something on there and a car forum I was heavily involved with. A guy on both grassed me up, yes how petty was that! I asked for my AV account to be deleted and I never went on there again. Also just a warning when selling stuff on forums, its...

    What vinyl are you listening to?

    Yes I meant Stone Roses. Obviously my opinion and I have the same problem with Stone Roses not being able to get through it in one. Still good don't get me wrong just prefer Secon Coming :grin:

    What vinyl are you listening to?

    Ordered Lorde and Stadium Arcadium. Listening to Lou Donaldson and Stone Roses Second Coming which IMHO is superior to Stone Roses. Waiting for the backlash.

    Orbe Clamp upgrade for Gyrodec.

    Ok so Steve at Michell is very helpful. A lot more helpful than Analogue Seduction who sold it to me along with the 8 week wait for all of it to turn up. My platter is not right, the recess in the centre should be 5.5mm deep and it is 3.5mm. He has offered to make me a new nut but the thread...

    Orbe Clamp upgrade for Gyrodec.

    I had read about the ferrite cores so I may try it. No I never tried the Furutech as I sold it as believed I wouldn't need it with the 'audiophile' phono stage in the Kandy! Maybe a mistake that one! I am going to have a rethink in the new year, maybe change a few things.

    Orbe Clamp upgrade for Gyrodec.

    Well its funny you ask about it being ally, I don't think it is unless its then covered in acrylic, because when I bought it the guy said it was, I don't think it is. Yes I have the inverted bearing. I am having loads of problems if I am honest and am having a little mini breakdown over it...

    Orbe Clamp upgrade for Gyrodec.

    Great stuff many thanks. I have a feeling my platter is older, I know it is, so maybe the kit is for newer versions? I watched a video on YouTube of an Orbe assembly and I know it was an orbe platter but the recess is deeper and the nut, like you say, is 2mm approx higher. So for now I've...

    I have contacted Michell. I will hopefully get a relevant response.

    Orbe Clamp upgrade for Gyrodec.

    Maybe you should have read my post correctly, I merely asked a question about the height of the nut in relation to the platter and you decided to try to deride me by writing about incompatible parts. I think it was obvious I would have purchased a Clamp Kit and not just bought an Orbe Clamp and...

    Turntable Dust Cover Advice

    How about something like this: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141123312418 I use a similar version and works a treat albeit not on your Turntable.

    Orbe Clamp upgrade for Gyrodec.

    OK so I missed out 'kit' at the end of Orbe Clamp! So yes I have the 'kit' so no I haven't 'codged' anything together! So once the threaded spindle is screwed into the main bearing and the knurled nut is screwed onto the spindle after platter fitment, the knurled nut sits higher than the...

    Orbe Clamp upgrade for Gyrodec.

    Hi, Have any Gyrodec owners upgraded to the Orbe Clamp? If so can you tell me whether the knurled nut is supposed to sit proud of the platter by approx 4-5mm? If I can explain that it seems the recess in the centre of my platter is not deep enough. Hope somebody can help? Thanks.

    Turntable sound getting gradually worse?

    Another update. TBH I still wasn't happy. So I read the review of the new Musical Fidelity V90 LPS in HIFI Choice and bought one. All I can say is.................I have emailed Roksan because now I believe my Amp is faulty! The Rega Carbon is even more of a bargain. Kind of pleased but...
