| Elvis is Back Legacy Edition is a must have Does this come in CD or vinyl, or both. | |
| ARC VT100 with KT-120 tubes ? Tdaudio and Hifigeek: spoke with Chris at ARC today. Was told that REF210 and REF610 will require mods, as mentioned by Hifigeek above. However, the VS115 and many others are ok as is. Until something comes out in writing, I would still call to do... | |
| ARC VT100 with KT-120 tubes ? Thanks Tdaudio for the power supply info. That's good to know. Hifigeek, do you know anything about the power supply adjustments that Tdaudio mentioned in the post above? Also, just curious about the VS115 you have for repair. What's the problem? ... | |
| ARC VT100 with KT-120 tubes ? Thank you Casouza for your helpful explanations. Just to be clear, I appreciate your clarification that current and voltage are different concepts. However, I quote from Hifigeek above that "(t)he tube is capable of running up to a maximum plate (... | |
| Anti-skating problem Ed: For sure -- fair comment. In any case, Nandric's advice is worthy of its own thread. Hopefully, he'll answer my question. Have a great day. | |
| ARC VT100 with KT-120 tubes ? Karma16: please back off Hifigeek. We should all be respectful to each other. Moreover, he has always provided good advice to those of us who are less informed about electronic theory, particularly ARC gear. Oh, my rig is all ARC: PH-7, Ref-3, VS-... | |
| Anti-skating problem Hi Nandric: My TT is fitted with a Rega RB 301 arm. IMHO, the anti-skating control, to say the least, is surprisingly primitive and cheap for an arm having such a nice reputation. Setting anti-skating is at best hit or miss. Please elaborate on th... | |
| MM cartridge comparable to a Benz L2 Agree with Truman!! I recommend Ortofon 2M Black ($560) or the Clear Audio Virtuoso or Maestro Woods ($600 - $700). I own the CA Virtuoso -- it's still breaking in. Right now it's still a little bright, but smoothing out as it breaks in. Great det... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Great old records from the 1970s and 80s. For example, Fame, George Solti conducting Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Beethoven 9th (London ffrr), George Solti conducting Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Tchaikovsky 5th (London ffrr), Loggins and Messina,... | |
| How critical is alignment error?? Thanks Tom. I double checked my measurements and checked V-E as well. I can't move the cartridge back far enough in the head shell to achieve optimum geometry. It's back to the tech for me. I'll take Audiofeil's advice and take some pictures. The ... | |
| How critical is alignment error?? Thanks guys for the advice and tips. I will recheck the S-P distance again and work the numbers on the Vinyl Engine. Assuming I can adjust the cartridge in the head shell to achieve the correct effective length, how do I adjust the offset angle. H... | |
| How critical is alignment error?? Elizabeth: Any comments about the question raised in my original post, i.e., how much distortion will the overhang error introduce in the playback? BTW, I did not bargain shop for the work, and yes, it was stipulated that he was to do the work in ... | |
| Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review Kclone: yup, right you are!! It is frustrating, but . . . listening to crappy source material played on crappy speakers still sounds like crap. Crap in, crap out. I'm not a big believer in stats and figures, but the S8 has a impressively flat on-a... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? I agree with the comments made by Zmanastronomy, Steelhead and Macdadtexas. I own an ARC CD-7, which is a fine CD player. However, I recently started to reacquaint myself with my old vinyl. I serviced and upgraded my old TT, and bought a new cartr... | |
| MM Cartridge or MC Cartridge I agree with a number of Johnnyb53's suggestions. You can figure out the tone arm effective mass and cartridge mass and complaince questions by referring to Vinyl Engine. Also, I own both the Grado Sonata ($500) and the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood (... |
