[Review] 78 RPM turntables comparison test - TNT-Audio
All that said, the Strathclyde has become my new standard of comparison for 78 RPM-capable turntables. In the discussion that follows, I'll try to reference the others against it. Fons CQ-30/International Mark I. Two names for functionally the same machine; the only difference I can see is that the CQ-30 has a nicer plinth.
A Brief Guide to Edison Cylinder Phonographs - TNT-Audio
I think it's safe to say that, aside from some of the even higher-end exotic machines released in limited numbers at the end of the open horn era, the big, heavy, powerful Triumph is the Edison phonograph to which most cylinder collectors aspire. Fitted with 2/4-minute gearing, a flipover Model O combination reproducer, and one of the deluxe ...
TNT : B&W DM601 S2 Listening Test - [English] - TNT-Audio
Description. DM 601 S2 measures just 356x204x244mm, or 14x8x9.6 inches (HxWxD), and weighs in at 6.1 kilos (13.4 lb). In my book, this is called a small speaker, though the weight is a little above the norm in this class. The sales literature describes it as a "2- way 4th-order vented system", or a bass reflex ported speaker.
[Review] Audio Technica AT95E and Linn Basik/Akito
The Axis had widened Linn's turntable portfolio as the Sondek LP12 upgrades caused its inflationary spiral to exceed even those dark times, appearing at a keen £299 price point, in the late 80s originally with the Basik Plus LV-X and then with the Akito tonearm when it arrived with the Basik turntable. The Axis soon found itself adrift in …

Anti-Cables and Anti-ICs - Review [English] - TNT-Audio
And the Anti-Cables and Anti-Interconnects are very much solid core, this much is clear. The speaker cables consist of just two 12 gauge conductors made out of solid copper, and the ICs have a single thin solid conductor at the centre with another solid ground wire spiralling around it. It doesn't get simpler than this.
Simple Voltage Regulators Part 2: Output Impedance - TNT-Audio
Addendum to Part 1: Noise. In the first installment of this series we had a look at the noise generated at the output of a number of easy to build and cheap voltage regulators: single-chip series and shunt regs (LM317/337 and TL431), a one-transistor emitter follower, and a two-transistor discrete shunt. The investigations were done by recording the AC-coupled output of the voltage regulator ...
[Review] ESS Heil Air Motion Transformer - [English] - TNT-Audio
The model available at Parts Express claims 92dB sensitivity, 2.9Ω, with 40W RMS power handling with crossover at 12dB/8ve at 800Hz. The current model is just over 150mm square and 110mm deep, so is the old one, but the older model seems to have a different plastic surround. Identical anti-tamper warning labels adorn old and new alike.
