| New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade @rajugsw Jay is correct. The GaN FETS that Alberto is using were initially designed, they were designed with audio in mind. Not claiming each company that uses the tech doesn't have all kinds of additional proprietary implementation secrets, but... | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats @gochurchgo I really like it, it improves things quite a bit with zero negative side effects (at least in my setup). It weighs almost nothing so I suspect some folks dismiss it, which is too bad. | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats @danmar123 When you get around to a record weight make sure to try out the Origin Live Gravity One. I like that one on my 1210G, and it's not too crazy a price point. | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats @danmar123 The Stein PI Carbon Signature arrived yesterday. I'm still doing some back and forth with the stock mat on the Technics, but the Stein clearly has more detail (in a good way, no hyper-etched exaggeration) and the pace and rhythm also t... | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @wrm57 Great call on the Origin Live Gravity One! I'm still comparing it to the Furetech Monza, but it sure seems like the winner right now. It seems to provide a more three-dimensional image in which individual instruments in complicated passag... | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @kfscoll I had a VPI for a while and started with the clamp and moved to the center weight and periphery ring. Over time I just found it detracted from my wanting to play records. I respect anyone who wants to squeeze every ounce of performance ... | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @wrm57 I suspected there would be some, it's all good! | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @mijostyn I'm not going to agree with that. I'm rotating three different weights/stabilizers (and of course are comparing those to not using a weight at all) and my general sonic impressions are similar across all of my records, regardless of whe... | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @wrm57 Thanks. I'll try and check that out. | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @macg19 a local dealer had a demo unit that he let me borrow (along with the MoFi). | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @z32kerber I used to own a VPI with had a periphery ring. I found that to be a giant PITA but agree that it works well. | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @macg19 Thanks for your thoughts. As close as I've been able to come to auditioning the HRS weights are the MoFi versions that were developed for them by or in conjunction with HRS. Right now I have the Pure Fidelity SS-10 record stabilizer (whi... | |
| Record Weights/Disc Stabilizers @stereo5 Did you get to listen to both the heavier and more moderate HRS record weights? If so, I'm curious about what you liked better about the lighter weight. | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats For anyone interested, I took the plunge on the DS Audio HS-001 Headshell and the Stein Music "The Perfect Interface Carbon Signature TT Mat". I'll work those in one at a time with my current Pure Fidelity Stratos Cartridge before I look at other... | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats Thanks everyone for the input, some good ideas for me to explore. @larsman According to the instruction manual on the 1210G, it can take up to a 1kg weight, the one I have borrowed from my other TT is about 760 grams and works well with the Techn... |
