| Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review I did listen to a side of Nirvana unplugged before I wnt to the office this morning. I didn't notice any sibilance issues on that particular LP. S's sounded like an S and were not pronounced as SCHH. Also, CH or SH were not overly pronounced but w... | |
| Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review I am tracking at just under 2g. It was around 1.98. This is where my arm liked it best. | |
| Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review Actusreus, The paua is about $3800 new. I have not had the chance to really listen to rock music with this cart yet. I have played a handful of rock tracks but, not a full side. I will sit down this evening and listen to some rock albums. I do hav... | |
| Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review Actusreus, I agree with you about the quality of the adele album. It's not one of my best LP's. I even returned two other copies before I got this third one that is decent at best. You are also correct about it being a digital master. I just menti... | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart I did end up purchasing the paua. I have started another post where you can read my thoughts about it. In short, it is a great cartridge. It really exceeded my expectations. | |
| Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review After a few more days of listening, I am amazed at what this cartridge can do. This is the most detailed and revealing cartridge I have ever heard. I would say the sound is mostly neutral with just a hint of warmth. It presents only the informatio... | |
| Any love for the Rogue Ares I have owned the rogue ares for about 2 years now. It doesn't seem to get much talk on the forum here. You are correct, it does have on board cinemag SUT. I opened mine up out of curiosity. They are indeed red 3440. I have used mine with both MM a... | |
| Broken cantilever Need options... You won't be dissapointed in the work soundsmith does. They are very easy to contact and talk to someone. They also have a quick turnaround time. | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart I was just going by what peter told me. He said the loading needs to be 1K ohm minimum and not to be more than 5K maximum. One review I have found said the reviewer preferred it at 2800 ohm which made it a bit brighter. My system is a bit bright s... | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart Bifwynne, Peter said that the paua rebuilds for $450.00 when the time comes for that.Andy | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart 1K is the MINIMUM load. Some have reported this cart sounds best at 2800ohm. I will find out soon. | |
| Twisting wire on VPI for anti skate? the twist is made with the connector. Unplug the tonearm lead wire from the junction box and rotate it 360 degrees and plug it back in. If a loop forms in the wire, straighten it back out. Hope that helps | |
| Has anyone listened to the soundsmith Paua cart Lewm, I suppose I should have said I don't actually have it in my hands yet. Sorry for the confusion. I intend to post my thoughts of the cart when I actually get it setup and playing. I am going to follow peters advice on the loading. I was just ... | |
| Results from Eliminating Anti-Skate Michael fremer | |
| Remove your bias for better sound I have tried the VPI anti skating mechanism. I have also used the wire twist method. Harry states that very little AS force is needed for the 10.5 arm. I found that the VPI AS mechanism exerts too much force even at its lowest setting. I use 1 sin... |
