| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @pindac Never written that Linn didn’t have an Ariston design, Linn started with Ariston turntables design; do you have a reliable source (magazine or other) to prove that the RB 300 was already produced in 1983? | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? As said in previous Posts, if it weren’t for the Rega Design being so successful and sought after, there would most likely not be a SME IV, V, 309, along with a host of others that poached the Rega Geometry and Design. Sorry to contradict you b... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? I haven’t read the whole 3ad but if it hasn’t been indicated yet I would say look at the Audiomods production as well. Several owners indicate not to use the silicone damper of the SmeV, to proceed with an internal rewiring with pure silver wiring... | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? @pindac I have original CL-P3D plinth that I would like to use; in the future I will always have time to use diy plinths for the other Victor TT's I own that have remained on standby for the little time I have to dedicate to them. | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? It depends a lot on the space available, I have several chains and turntables both with two arms and turntables with one arm, now I am preparing a plinth for the 3-arm victor TT 801. For phono preamps I prefer phono preamps with multiple inputs. | |
| Direct Drive I have to wonder why this table would be as expensive as it is? simple .... because it is not a big company like Japanese factory were (Sony, Technics, Yamaha, Jvc etc.etc.) to design a DD engine costs a lot in research and development; f... | |
| Direct Drive and a Clearaudio Concept which was boring as hell. what did Clearaudio have to define it as "boring"? | |
| Sourcing a top of the line Jvc mm This is the most curious statement you ever made. Why? | |
| Talking about service! I feared the worst reading 3ad. | |
| MoFi controversy The only thing that bothers me is the lie by omission. I prefer forthright behavior. Exactly! The final buyer must be informed of what he is buying, without omissions. | |
| MoFi controversy Good luck finding any vinyl (from the last 10? 15? years) that wasn't pressed from an original digital master. I'm sure someone, somewhere, is still using tape but they would be the rare exception proving the rule. several prints of the tona... | |
| MoFi controversy if they come from digital masters (and no wonder) I don't think it is necessary to spend a lot of money on vinyls with those characteristics but I buy the cd or sacd and save. I believe that Mofi with this revelation / non-revelation whipped herse... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? @chilli42 spend now on software if you feel satisfied, looking for certainties of your doubts among the members of a forum is never a wise idea. | |
| Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output... Aqvox phono 2Ci balanced in-out | |
| Micro-Seiki RX-5000 platter question You can slip some string under the platter to lift it off - use two pieces either side of the spindle. better 4 pieces of string to form a square |
