| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? Whart: I would pursue products from companies that provide technical performance data, at least from those making claims about resonance control. Resonance/damping curves help a lot, especially based upon the weight rnnge to be used. Vibration con... | |
| How does Vendetta SCP phonos compare today? Quite well, but it depends upon the version. There were two versions, A and B. Versions C and D were modifications of either, and there are a handful of SCP-2T units which are the final version. I sold my 2T a few months ago when I purchased Bob C... | |
| Demo of 9 ft tall Sound Lab Majestics this weekend Hi Rost:The JC-2 prototype captured a lot of interest. The immediacy and dynamics were impressive. The $17k CTC Blowtorch is better, as one might expect, but the JC-2 prototype held its own. I did some fairly serious comparison in my system betwee... | |
| Air Line Arm Owners- Compressor Electrical Noise Hi Whart,I would contact your dealer first, and then if necessary contact Scot Markwell at themusic.com in California. It may be a grounding issue rather than power. The lines between the compressor unit and turntable are purposely quite long to e... | |
| Should we upgrade high end fuses? Johnny (42659): Acme Audio Labs makes a silver plated, optionally cryo treated, fuse holder. | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Albert, I'll rephrase the question. What kind of base, rack, stand, or platform will the Kuzma XL with Airline tonearm be placed upon for the listening comparison? Additionally, will they be broken in or relatively new out of the box? Tonearm wiri... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Whart: You are in for a treat when you get it set up on a proper stand. As for leveling the arm bearing tube, one trick is to position the arm halfway across the playing surface with the cueing lever up (and the pump on, of course) and tap down li... | |

| Isolation transformer benefits? It will reduce noise. The closer to the components that it can be located, the better. | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline In addition to build quality and sound, I recommend considering the history of each company as well as its representation and support. You don't want to have an orphan five years down the road. | |
| High mass turntable owners -- What Stand? The Kuzma turntables I have here are each on SK Research shelves and three Thorp Audio Group (TAG) cones. The latter are massive stainless steel alloy cones shaped somewhat like Walker cones but have been found by others to be more effective. The ... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST? Rukavina, I don't know what ax you have to grind with Parasound, but judging from your feedback it is obvious you are doing a lot of buying and selling...are you in the business? As for your friend, Parasound honors the warranty for the original p... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? Something tells me Whart's 1790 home, a splendid one I'm sure, might not favor a 1 ton block of granite on the top floor, in which case me might find it in the basement. However, if the wood floor is a bit bouncy, an active air isolation platform ... | |
| Definition of Local Dealer Elizabeth, I understand your frustration. Manufacturers can set the rules as they please, and you have to understand the dealer was following them. As far as the dealer refusing to deliver the speakers to you, they are slitting their own throats, ... |
