| Brinkmann and Koetsu? I am playing the signature in my Brinkmann Balance with a SAT and I LOVE it. Not so much on the Bergmann Galder with the Odin. the patinum sounded a little too bright for me. | |
| Dustcover Blues I solve the static electrical charge issue with a small humidifier, mason jar size, not too far from my tables, never dust, static electricity, or resonance from an unsprung cover. At home we play about 4-5 hours a day, clean the stylus maybe once... | |
| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. @millercarbon agreed there too :) The way we do it is to do the averaging mostly to always start from a repeatable and consistent place, then modify to what we like, and usually we have 2 settings one for thin records and one for thicker ones, but... | |
| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. @larryi I am glad you confirmed my theory and the effective lengths. I do not believe the dynamic SRA is that difficult to do, a decent microscope with a good camera/depth of filed, take 10 pictures and average the angles. the big trick is to h... | |
| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. @millercarbon I do not dismiss advice... I will not use paper because we own already the 2 protractors, and my printer does not print very thin lines which I know I need, but not because I want to ignore advice :) At home we like to keep things... | |
| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. @mijostyn, you are right. In our house we have 4 tables with 2-3 arms each... please don't make fun :) so we have different alignments. In my house in the USA I only have one table, and 2 tonearms. And I am thinking of UniDin in one arm and Lofgre... | |
| Wally Wally Wally I love the Wally, BUT if your tonearm effective length is not engraved in the tool then you are out of luck. Spend a few more $$ and get the SmartTractor which will do any effective length and never look back. :)I was lucky that my first tonearm w... | |
| What cartridge for a prime super scout 10.5 arm.? Budget $500 Try the Hana SL I believe, for $450 is a great cartridge | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please @unreceivedogma, thanks!! What speakers, amp and phono do you use? you can PM me if you like to stay under the cover :) but I would really like to know.Thanks | |
| Record Mats In Combination With Weights I use a concave copper mat with center weight and an outer ring. The sound changes are significant, specially in those old records that are not totally flat, almost as good as the vacuum system in my Bergmann Galder. | |
| Manley Chinook Owners Tube Rolling @noromance, any hardware (not tubes) improvements on the Steelhead? Thank you | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please @tomic601 Hello Jim, thank you for the offer. Vino and music and new friends sounds great! It is incredible, I have an offer to visit Victoria and now Seattle. I am looking forward to the spring and summer.I would love to reciprocate but I got a s... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please SS Vs Tube...:) I have am very fortunate to be able to have pretty good SS, Hybrid and tube amplifiers, preamps and phono stages and for some reason I always gravitate towards to the tube and hybrid.But that is me, my other half gravitates toward... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please We listened to 2 of the SAT and did not know which, and 2 others, in the same identical setup, same records same room for about 3 afternoons. We both took notes individually and at the end of each afternoon we had Tonearm #1,#2,#3,#4 without knowi... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Vs Rosewood Signature Vs HANA UMAMI RED advice please @rauliruegas for now I will put the Etsuro on the SAT as it is the tonearm I know as I have the Gold on a SAT and I know how it sounds.After everything is tuned up and broken in, I will start experimenting. Thank you for your thoughts. |
