| Recommendation for a second arm/cartridge combo Hello Doug,Slight correction:As of the beginning of this year, Galibier, Teres, AudioAdvancements and a small number of other dealers are to be seen as equals in their rights to sell my arms(no table purchase neccessary ;-). Whoever seems to be pr... | |
| Teres Owners - Please help Hello Ecyclopediabsh, hi Patrick!Whichever Teres model you(or your shmbo) decides to purchase, any of them will only perform as well as the support allows it. First and foremost make it rigid and non-resonant. You might benefit from mass loading t... | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom Dear Mr. Graham,First of all, my apologies if my post created the impression I was trying to raise doubts or question the quality or superiority of the Phantom over your previous designs. The question about the Magnaglide tracker was a "real" ques... | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom Hi John,Lots of Thai, Vietnamese and excellent Chinese restaurants in my neighborhood(and no Starbucks nearby...)! Drop me a mail again when that next trip is in sight. I´ll be glad to further extend your appreciation of my hometown :-)Cheerio,Frank | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom Dear sirspeedy,Thanks for your response. From time to time it seems that, whatever one tries to accomodate the often well founded requests/demands of (potential) customers, one just can´t win. Actually it is quite healthy to accept early on in the... | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom Dear Mr. Graham,You wrote: "(why else would Rolex and other fine watches use ruby if it weren't for better performance? The cost difference is insignificant).. "The main advantage of the use of rubies, sapphires or even diamonds(endstones only) as... | |
| Any feedback on the Graham Phantom Dear Sirspeedy,You wrote: "don't be like some other designers who,though understandably limited in time, expect potential sales to occur by word of mouth as opposed to "in the flesh" exposure."Though you didn´t refer to me personally, this is clea... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Hello sirspeedy,Did you notice the whinking smiley at the end of that last line? No sarcasm intended.I like to be called by my name as much as I like to call others by theirs, not their monikers. But that´s just me, your moniker wouldn´t keep me f... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Dear sirspeedy(your real name?),Your suggestion is one of many to participate in shows all over the world. If I was to do this, actual manufacturing time would be reduced to a few weeks per year. Besides, the HIGH END Show in Munich is too close t... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Hi Guys,Not only do I not object to being spelled without the umlaut "dots", I decided to skip them when I sketched the logo many years ago for the impossibility to turn the O into a stylized turntable without confusing its simplicity or "purity".... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm Hello Ebm,The information content of your post is diametrically opposed to your use of caps. Maybe for the benefit of everyone here, you´d care to elaborate under which conditions(table, cart, etc.) you performed your comparison. I have no doubt w... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hello Chris,The difference between the armwands - both are CLD, the old one with carbon fiber on the outside, the newer on features Pertinax as the outer "shell" - is directly attributable to the much better inherent damping of Pertinax and the fa... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hi Chris,Thanks for your kind words(previous post). Fwiw, the No.2 arm is also available with a Pertinax(resin impregnated paper) based, three layer CLD armwand. Looks more like wood and has none of the carbon fiber sonic fingerprint.A great weeke... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hi to everyone,It seems there are a few questions regarding the durability of the thread in my arms and then some regarding the perceived "fragility" in day to day use.The thread is made out of an Aramid type material, comprised of several hundred... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Dear Artar1,"The Schroeder is a well-respected arm. If you have your heart set on it, you might as well get it. But it does look a little temperamental and perhaps somewhat difficult to install. For me the price is a major barrier." Just to give m... |
