unfortunately the one i used has a limited range so i can only get as much as 5% reduction in speed. good luck on your project.

Hello Noly, I initially thought the white wires are the feedback loop ... posted this to validate. So in general, I cannot use the controller
on my unit?
Thanks

It was just a "shot in the dark" type of encounter where I corresponded with him via PM on the forum and we agreed to meet up in HK. David is such a simple and humble guy who has over a dozen Lencos, almost 2 dozen tonearms (a couple of them from our very own Mandy, maker of the wood tonearm) and who knows how many more audio gears. We had breakfast in my hotel (he willingly went there to spend a couple of hours talking to me). I was actually interested in getting his famous Midas Body for the Denon 103 cartridge. I brought along my Denon, and right there at breakfast, he modded my Denon and put on the Midas Body. In the course of modding the Denon, David was telling me stories on how he started with the Lenco in London, where he worked for a good number of years. How he discovered, together with some of the audio gurus there, the huge potential of the Lenco turntable and the vast ways you can bring out the best of that platform. Well, it is no surprise that he summed up the best way to get the most out of the Lenco - SYNERGY. David gave me a long litany on why I shouldn't be going thru my audio journey thinking that buying more and more expensive gears will bring me to the sound or music nirvana that we are all looking for. There is no such thing, he says! We sometimes listen via our logical mind (i.e. if this gear is so expensive, it must sound good!) He continues that all music is "coloured" by the components we put in the audio chain. And that everyone has a music preference and must search for that preference in the gears by using the most effective tools we are given by nature - our EARS and our RIGHT brain! How do you know if you have found the right synergy in your system? Simple, accdg to him! Whatever gives you what he terms as "musical involvement" where you really "feel" the music! Sounds simple and I fully agree with it but how do you do that when there are different levels of engagement or involvement that a type of set up provides. Haaayyy, I guess that is why it is called an audio journey. Anyway, I missed his invitation to go to his house to listen to his 2-watter set-up that he says could blow out any six digit set-up and all costing less than US$1,000. This includes a Lenco TT, by the way!
And speaking of the Denon, while modding it, David told me why the Denon 103 is a very good cartridge. For one, it being a broadcast standard, it has to be "neutral" or that you can play any type of music and it has to sound good. So it is constructed as such, a neutral gear that extracts music from a medium - i.e. vinyl. Technically, you should be able to hear music the way it is recorded, with no or as little addition to it as possible. Now before I am accused of musical blasphemy, I am just narrating our conversation and everyone has an opinion as long as it is not libelous (hehehe). And all I can say is that I'm very happy with the Denon 103r and upon returning with the Midas Body, I was blown away! Hanep!. . . Iba talaga!. . . David was more than right when he told me that the Denon in the Midas Body willl be leaps and bounds when it comes to clarity, a totally black background, soundstage depth and layering. Wow!I think this will be my reference cartridge going forward! Thanks David!
