| Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables? Winegasman, My most sincere apologies. Your question was not unreasonable AT ALL. Although, you will be making one hell of a compromise (sonically) by using a turntable with all of the added mechanisms. I would hate to see anyone who enjoys analog... | |
| Audiomeca Enkianthus.X DAC...Anagram mkII Jazzdude, I believe Peterb is correct. The Enkianthus DAC obtained it's "X" designation after incorporating the newer Anagram 24/192 MK II module. If memory serves, Audiomeca began shipping the newer "X" versions January of 2003. I don't know if t... | |
| I need audition advice 4yanx, the best way for me to describe the original Aurum Beta compared to the "S" version was "congested". My original Aurum Beta has a plastic body. The "S" version is lead bodied. The sound stage is more defined. It is almost as if you could wa... | |
| Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables? Winegasman, You're not interested in "add on lifters", but you are interested in a turntable which contains linkages, bellcranks, and subassemblies for an auto lift function?My suggestion? Buy a CD player. | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? The 1812 Overture. | |
| Album cd or LP with best bass for new subwoofer BTW, Jbatlanta, I failed to mention, make sure you have filled out your warranty card on your new M&K before playing the aforementioned recording.I'm not kidding, Ed. | |
| Album cd or LP with best bass for new subwoofer Jbatlanta, Sdcampbell offered some great reference recordings. Especially "Ocean Grove". Also, Sean makes some valid comments regarding "slow, bloated bass". I also like his terminology regarding "instantaneous thrust". That's a good one Sean.Of c... | |
| Suspended Turntable-which one? Longish Tder, I can provide you with a biased opinion. VPI HW. There has been so much talk of turntables as of late, I actually wrote following into the forum several months ago:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1054843589&openusid&... | |
| What is there to gain Scott, let's put it this way, OH MY GOD!!!!!!!EVERY aspect of your tonearm will improve. Tonal quality, compliance, everything....... will improve. I just installed the Expressimo end stub and the Heavyweight counterweight on my VPI MkIV/Rega RB90... | |
| Designing a Plinth Jphii, I also found that highly unusual. But again, I won't pretend to know anything about this stuff, cause I don't. From the theoretical mechanical/electrical design/engineering aspect, I could hold my own. But when it comes to the actual woods?... | |
| Designing a Plinth Jim, 4/4 designates the material thickness. 4/4 would 1" thick, 8/4 would be 2" thick. 5/4 for example would be 1 1/4" thick. BUT, (just to confuse matters) this is not always the actual thickness.The site offers "dimensional hardwood lumber". A 1... | |
| Designing a Plinth Jimbo, I have been sitting back with great interest reading this thread as it has progressed. There have been some great contributions. I was impressed by the workmanship entailed in Jphii's turntable.Last evening, I stumbled across the website I ... | |
| MONO cartridge 4yanx, I probably should have mentioned that the cartridges I pointed out are all WELL below the $500.00 price point you had suggested.The Grado's range in price from $90.00 - $400.00.The Denon is $130.00ie: The Grado Platinum wood bodied, mono, c... | |
| Any suggestions for in-wall cabling? Breitlingdj, I try to avoid the "good, better, best" scenarios on this forum. In this case the word "superior". Although, if LAT is using the same method of construction, and the same quality of raw material that he uses in the rest of his cabling... | |
| MONO cartridge 4yanx, It's my understanding that Grado will produce ANY of their wood bodied MM cartridges in mono format upon request. From what I understand the pricing is the same as the stereo versions.Also, the Denon DL-102 is a mono high output MC that is ... |
