| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Dan Ed: Question? What are the two control knobs on the motor for? Also it seems that I read where you compared the Teres to the Galibier and chose the later but I cannot remember your reasons for choosing the Galibier over the Teres. Can you give... | |
| New Stand config brings about new TT problems Back in the party days of the 70's I used to suspend my TT from the ceiling. It saved a lot of good records. No problems with footfalls, parties, nuclear explosions, etc. OK I exaggerated about the nuclear explosions | |
| New Stand config brings about new TT problems Stringreen. I misunderstood your prior post and your question about if it was the same table (stand). That stand is the same stand as before which is a VTL. They are stackable component shelves. There are 3 on the left and 2 on the right. Each com... | |
| New Stand config brings about new TT problems Thanks Stringreen. It is the same table. You may be on to something since I am now also getting some footfall problems as well. Prior to the move I could jump up and down right in front of the TT without any consequence. Now I can hear speaker noi... | |
| lps sound bad Sns, you say "I mentioned in previous posts the offending lps. Just off the top of my head, I can add Eagles-Hotel California,..."I have never heard anyone say that album sounded bad. I know you don't want to hear it but this is so fishy it makes ... | |
| lps sound bad Sns, I am sorry you are having the problems. Its been long said that analog is not for everyone. Its a labor of love. Maybe all the labor is clouding your ability to enjoy it or maybe you just came in with expectations which were far above reality... | |
| lps sound bad Wow! I have the same TT and cartridge with the sig 9 arm. My phono pre is tubed as well and one I highly recommend. that said, I have the exact opposite experience. My TT most always beats cd hands down. I have a lot of MFSL cd's and they come clo... | |
| Review: Fusion Audio Enchanter/Impulse Power cord Thanks for your response Sherod. The REL is plugged directly to the outlet as is my power amp. I have since split the digital and analog components with some subtle changes taking place there.After posting, I wanted to delete it because I sense th... | |
| Review: Fusion Audio Enchanter/Impulse Power cord OK. After reading all the glowing reviews of the Fusion PC's I feel like I must have missed something. I just auditioned an Impulse on my cdp Eric also sent along a Predator which I tried on my REL subwoofer. I was using Iron Lung jelly fish prior... | |
| Vibrapods under Bright Star for VPI Scout I have used 3 different footers under my sand box and can tell no difference between them. My gut tells me that the sand is absorbing a great deal of the vibrations and therefore the footers are not that important. Note that I have never set the s... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster platter/bearing install Cpk and Stringreen are right. Use a little dab of white lithium grease on top of the bearing. Then let the platter slide down by itself under its own weight. You are experiencing hydraulic pressure due to the tightness of the bearing and chase ass... | |
| Cartridge & phono stage for VPI Scoutmaster setup? I've heard others say that the Sumiko Blackbird ($679) works very well with the ScoutMaster. You may be able to use it with your present CJ phono stage since it is a Hi Output MC cart. This may do if you are really strapped for $$$. However I am v... | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Parelius, I just looked at the arm and I see the hole you are talking about, but I cannot see a screw inside. Now this may be due to poor eyesight, but I tried the two hex keys which came with the table and neither fit anything inside the hole. Wh... | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Sberger, I tried just a little fluid and there was some improvement, most notably in the bass. However I'm not sure if there was some trade off with other areas ie the airiness. I must also note that the table is now sitting on the sandbox with Tr... | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Thanks for the recommendation Stringreen. I've heard good things about the Gingko. Many also recommend the sandbox. However I have found that the benefits of the SB are highly dependant upon the platform material that is used atop the sand. I trie... |
