| TT Weight Outer Ring vs VPI Ring Slaw,You might be right. Certainly many factors and considerations go into making a product, the profit margin being most important to most, if not all, manufacturers. But I can say with confidence that the TTW all-copper ring did not outperform t... | |
| TT Weight Outer Ring vs VPI Ring Buconero,VPI does not provide the weigh of the ring on its website so I'm not sure where the OP got this information from. I of course did not mean to imply in any way that Harry lied about the weight. Since I have the ring, I can tell you it does... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Haha, I hear you! Same here. Consider the question never asked :) | |
| TT Weight Outer Ring vs VPI Ring I used to own a TTWeights all copper ring that Larry claimed smoked the VPI ring. He also touted copper as an ideal material (and superior to steel) for a periphery ring. I find it funny that, at least looking at their website, TTWeights does not ... | |
| Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua loading Manitunc, Indeed, the Te Kaitora Rua does not seem to be very popular among the Dynavector cartridges. I am a bit surprised as everything I've heard about this cartridge has been very positive. It is also on my list of candidates to replace my Del... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Suteetat I always have similar but not exactly identical problem with most of my cartridges. If I turn on digital scale on first and let it zero first, as soon as I move my cartridge over the scale, it gave negative reading. However the number us... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Stringreen,Whom are your comments directed at? No one challenged or took issue with your posts. It's puzzling to me why you would choose to post such an antagonizing reply, whomever you're referring to. As a side note, please re-read my original p... | |
| New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks Daverz, I emailed Mark yesterday to clarify this. He'll probably respond sometime next week since it's a holiday weekend. I'm relatively new to tubes so I'm not sure how to determine correct bias other than knowing when it's quite off; the sound j... | |
| What do you think of the new "Simply Vinyl" albums Is this thread a joke? All of their records are out of stock. How is this even realistically possible? Is their website crashing? | |
| New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks Daverz,Are you sure about the biasing? I was told by both Mark and Nick at Rogue the KT-120 should be biased at 40 mA, just like the KT-90. Are we talking the M-180 monoblocks or the Cronus integrated amp? The Cronus is to be biased at 35 mA, but ... | |
| New tubes in Rogue M-180 Monoblocks Indeed, I meant KT-90, not KT-80. Thanks for the correction, Mechans. I understand the only "modification" necessary is swapping the top plate in the Cronus amp as the tube holes are not big enough to accommodate the KT-120. I'm not sure whether o... | |
| Last Chance Texaco. Front row last night. Thanks for sharing, Bizango. I'm not very familiar with Ms. Peyroux, but Rickie Lee Jones is one of my favorites. All her records sound fantastic as well. It always surprises me how few people are familiar with her work. The concert sounds quite a... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Doug,I very much appreciate your response. If I used too strong a language in my post, please accept my apologies as well. Btw, I suspected that a sense of hearing so acute must be to a large degree genetic, not learned, even though I'm sure one c... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question It's evident from several recent threads that Actusreus is not yet comfortable with trusting his ears and prefers the security of measurements, even measurements that don't necessarily correlate to optimal sonics. If he believes that every Lyra is... | |
| Table/Cart Set Up - By Ear or Test Record? Doug,I'm not sure whether I agree with your assertion since you're actually adjusting the VTA tower, which might as well keep the stylus immobile and the back of the tonearm traveling along an arch, albeit a very small one. That said, I'm not a ma... |
