| Installation of Rega RB300 effective length on Rega arms is 240mm with the pivot to spindle distance at 222.8 mm. The mounting hole is 23mm dia. FYI- Nearly all Basis 1400's to date have been factory drilled for Rega. If the location seems correct but the hole is larger tha... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Hi David,My routine is to run an LP thru a wet vacuum machine(VPI hw16) before it gets played, used records getting a good wet scrubbing first.Record sleeves will be replaced with new or given a shot of compressed air.After that, I use a Hunt EDA ... | |
| Linn LP12 Extreme Mod ? A thread has devloped at the Audio Asylum forum which indicates that Jet968 is one of several monikers used by Extremephono. It appears that I naively responded to a thread that was instituted purely to promote www.extremephono.com thru deceit.The... | |
| Linn LP12 Extreme Mod ? See www.cetech.co.uk/ for the manufacturer of the carbon composite subchassis.I am aware of at least 5 individuals that have reported positive results using the Cetech LP12 subchassis. According to a Cetech spokesman, the carbon armboard is primar... | |
| Most emotionally involving cables? Redkiwi,check out the 47Labs stratos OTA cable kit.A kit will do 3 pairs of IC's and has a total of 50 metres of cable for US$600.I've not heard a faster, more open, artriculate or transparent cable at any price.Music played thru them have a life ... | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . PRaT stands for Pace,Rhythm and Timing-the fundamental temporal qualities of music reproduction that somehow never featured in the lexicon of Holt and Pearson.Best,Ken (a middle earther) | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Since this thread refuses to die, I guess I'll finally chime in.The finest loudspeaker that I've yet had the opportunity to spend time with had its north american debut in my own exhibit in Las Vegas this past January, courtesy of Toffco, the US d... | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . It's my opinion that any attempts to mimmick valves in ss devices is doomed to failure.In every instance that I am aware ,the approach has been to capture the "warmth" and "romance" by manipulation of the components frequency response characterist... | |
| Table only as good as it s cartridge? My take is that a cartridge is only as good as the table and arm.A superior cartridge will never be able to show its abilities unless given a precision reference platform to work from and having effective isolation from its environment. | |
| rega p3/ ittok Unless you plug the original mounting hole and redrill ,the Ittok will not properly fit a Rega table.They have different mounting geometries and effective lengths in their respective designs | |
| amp and speakers break in ditto what albert said..... 100 to 150+ hours minimum for the Creek and Aegis 1's.The speakers and amplification will never be done justice by your present source or IC's.As an inexpensive quality CDP starting point look to the entry NAD's and Cam... | |
| Nottingham any good? The Nottingham Analogue tables are exceptional in their expressiveness and pace.My favorites in the line are the Spacedeck and Interspace which I would easily rate as amoungst the best turntable values on the market.To my tastes,which favor timing... | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? get in touch with SdCampbell.imo, the original Lp pressing is the one to have.Best,Ken | |
| Hanging Audio Rack? Been there,done that.It sux. Sonically, the result is a huge open stage but dynamics and timing suffer greatly.If you can't hear or don't place a high value to PRaT, you might like it, tho.pARTicular uses it in one of their designs.With electro me... | |
| Koetsu cartridge rebuild Keep in mind that if you have your Koestu "retipped" by other than Koetsu itself, you may not be getting a Koestu back.By this I mean that depending on what needs be done you may end up with a hybrid(ex.-VanDenHul or Benz Micro generator in your K... |
