Just clocked this, where are the springs?
Missing atm.Just clocked this, where are the springs?
Perhaps the music will return.Missing atm.They may come back.
It would be interesting to swap back to the springs and measure speed stability and wow. I might try that.
I don't know if has gone yet, or been enriched. I'll try both ways and find out.Perhaps the music will return.
The version of the PID software I have there is a pull down box, top left, that what once the USB cable is attached between the Zeus and the PC can be clicked and allows the selection of a COM port, COM3 for my laptop.I begin to appreciate the improvement now...but can't get the Zeus PID software working. Attached the USB cable, but the software is stumm. Manual mentions com ports, eeeh? Anyone up to date and have used it?
Edit: Now noticed the USB driver. Isn't it wonderful to learn things when you actually RTFM?
On the other hand I splashed out to get the Zeus, but it got me wondering about my own logic. I buy a motor control just like that, but hesitate to refurb my Troika for less than half that sum, or even replace it with smth sexier at the same price level as the Zeus...![]()
I've got W10. Will try again tomorrow. Sounds good, though
The FFC cable ducks under the edge of the TT platter, suck down with a bit of tape and then slips between the bearing and the top plate.Hi Chilly, as I posted earlier, I've got the external DIY Audio unit and I'm currently running it without the feedback, due to the fact that the FFC cable connecting it to the sensor is damaged and I'm waiting on a replacement from China!
Anyway, I was wondering how the feedback FFC cable connects to your internal version, as I can't see it in your photo.
Dunno, it just pre-installs and when I install it, it pre-installs again. Will sort it tomorrow, hopefully
The unexpected improvement with the Hercules in a Mose case was better bass, tighter and more detailed. I still wonder how that is possible.
The Zeus makes records more "listenable". I taken the stethoscope out its box now. Soon time for experimentation with voltages and phases![]()
Please keep us posted how you get on with the Zeus.
I have just fitted the DIYAudio version from a group buy about three years ago. I've also fitted an AI Sole VIII and those AI squishy "grommets". Whatever happened to changing one thing at once?
I've yet to refit the 774 arm, which I find a pain to set up.

Pretty good stability. Takes about five rotations to get the WOW to < 2% and then it stays there. The printed box is a little heath Robinson but I'm the only person looking at it and I don't mind. The blobs of bluetac are work in progress.
I can’t believe we’re 3 months and 140 posts in and no one has said SL1200G/GR.I currently run a Linn LP12 with Ittok IV II arm, Cirkus bearing, Hercules external power supply and DV 17DS cartridge. I’m looking for advice on my next upgrade. Any suggestions?
