| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? waytoomuchstuff, I like the cuing mechanism, and really, I am sure that if I got serious, I could remedy the problem. The design is not hydraulic, but instead a cam with a lobe to raise the tonearm. Pretty damned simple but it really sticks and ... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? Ok, so here's the deal. There were 3 things that bothered me about the SOL design. First the on/off switch is on the back of the TT, where it is not easy to access. The simple fix was to run power to a switch that was handy. Not a big deal. Secon... | |
| Schit Audio Marketing Department: Can We Give them a Hand? I own one piece of Schiit gear, and its name is the SOL. Schiit outa luck, I guess. It is the only TT that they made, and I am still on the fence about a few decisions that it came with. I won't go into it here, but overall, the TT sounds very good. | |
| How many turntables have you owned? dogberry, Yes! I forgot about the steel needle on my first TT. My father talked about cactus needles being used at one time, I had no experience with that. Indeed, there was to be a long succession of TT's in my future, but that wasn't so u... | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? Buying/selling has been all over the map in my life. In some instances, I was the ignorant one for paying too much. Probably went the other way as well. I once put a unit up for sale as an auction item. I was a little embarrassed at the selling pr... | |
| How many turntables have you owned? It REALLY makes you think, when you realize that your first TT was maybe a Mattel. Maybe I was 6 years old. It was red, my favorite color. There have been Many since then, but none of them since then were used to sling little green army men of th... | |
| Audio PC In my limited experience with PC audio, I found a guy who takes a laptop, and reconfigures it for best audio. I know little other than this: The laptop used is a Lenovo ThinkPad, Windows is NOT used in the setup, and because it has a disc drive, I... | |
| New VPI purchase Though I have only owned the Scout in the past, I still regret ever selling it. For its price, the performance was wonderful. The fact that you have a much upgraded model and tonearm, makes me think how wonderful it all must be. I remember the tw... | |
| Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall Well, the shelf bracket is mounted, and I posted a photo of the temporary shelf for now. Man, this thing is heavy duty. Got it good and level too. I really do appreciate all the advice and reminders that were given. Will post another photo in my s... | |
| Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall I couldn't be more appreciative of the comments/suggestions. The mounting bracket came in today and is as professionally made as I have ever seen. The finish is perfect, but most of all, the bracket is even better/stronger than it needs to be. So ... | |
| Many of us want to Changegrade instead of Upgrading You had me up to bose. | |
| Advice for mounting a TT shelf on a wall Thanks for the posts guys, it points me in the right direction. Fortunately, I will be mounting it on a load bearing wall. Am I correct in assuming that half way up the wall may be another room node? I know to keep away from corners and other elec... | |
| Using battery power to go off the City's power grid The PSA P300 is a favorite of mine, though it has limitations. The idea that a regenerator can reproduce the expected AC wave form is essential. Currently, an engineer and I (mostly him) are working together on a higher performance P300. I cannot ... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito Aside from fidelity as being the issue, that hard fact remains, that the customer was told that the product was one thing and not the other. Simple as that. | |
