| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Nsgarch,I found this to be true as well. Raising the arm at the pivot point by 6-8mm improved the sound dramatically. Better bass extension and tautness (very punchy) combined with more detailed highs. I tried this compared to a level arm tube pos... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Doug,Yellow stickers. Maybe. The more I learn and experiment the more I'm becoming a "believer" in the importance of arm/cartridge parameter optimization. The next step is to experiment with VTF.Regarding your comment: "I rarely hear any sonic eff... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Nsgarch, Dougdeacon,This is a great post. This combined with the John Risch article enabled me to explore VTA positions that I would not have ventured to test before. I am now achieving stellar performance. Dougdeacon's advice in setting SRA by li... | |
| Difference Virtual Dynamics Nite 2 and Master I have switched from standard Revelation to the Signature and agree with all of Cenline's comments. It killed the standard (>600 hours) in the first hour of play....and the standard Revelation is no slouch. | |
| Vibraplane How does the Bright Star Air Mass or Townsend air platforms compare to the Vibrplane? | |
| E.A.R. 834P I heard that Great Northern Sound Co does mods on the EAr phono preamp.Should do wonders to it. | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Rick, SirSpeedy,Thanks for your comments on the system. It sounds like a good one! It's good to stay away from the mainstream reviews. they can be decieving and plauged by specific owner system aspects and complications. The reason I like Audiogon... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Rick,You're right, this is a great group of folks and hobby. I think the important thing is that in this leauge of equipment it all sounds pretty good. But then again, we're all a little fanatical and in pusuit of the "best" or "better".I hope you... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Thomas,Bob Graham gets an A+ at recommending his new Phantom B-44 arm. From all reviews and accounts it is a top flight arm. Since you have direct experience with it, the Triplanar 7 and a Schroeder all on an incredible TT, can you give us a first... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences A further thought. I keep referring to the adjustment differences between these arms as difficult or easy. The more I think about it, the more this seems like the wrong terminology. Once again, I refer you to Thom's comments earlier in the thread.... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Frank,Thank you for highlighting that feature. Forgot about that one. Sorry. Any chance of giving us a brief summary of the SQ version?Kha,Any comments on the TT/cartidge comparison Frank is referring to. | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences I should probably get to sleep already but I wanted to address an obvious question you all probably have based on my previous post since you may detect a contrdiction based on my final choice of the Triplanar. Especially after a comment like "I fo... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Sirspeedy,Although I don't think this is an issue (see below), the one disadvantage in adjusting VTF on a Schroeder is that minor changes in azimuth may arise since they are controlled by the same mechanism. This isn't the case with the Triplanar ... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Sirspeedy,With regard to your first point, Triplanar has now released a Version 2 of the Triplanar VII that has a vernier like gauge on the headsheel/VTA assembly that allows dialing in a specific setting much better. I wish I could attach a pictu... | |
| Schroeder vs. Triplanar VII Sonic Differences Tbg, You mentioned that in your evaluations a Schroeder (likely the Dps model) was better and more dynamic than an earlier Triplanar. Do you remember which model Triplanar?Dougdeacon,To put Tbg's comments in perspective, can you shed any additiona... |
