| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? It is so great to have people with long histories in this great hobby and also the phenomenal memories of what went down long before I got interested in a "stereo system." | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system @vpi I am realizing that. I was hoping to get the "ultimate" sound on the cheap with retipped Denon 103R, but I guess you get what you pay for. | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? Lew,I wasn't so much worried about the delay but the stress of constant starting/stopping on the motor. | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? @chakster When you flip your record, do you stop the turntable each time? On my old SOTA, I just grabbed the record while the platter was turning and flip it. With hard surfaces like copper, I am thinking it would damage the record if you grab it ... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I had never heard of Dohmann until you mentioned it. Actually, it looks very nice. You can tell it is expensive. | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? "There is no advantage in making a turntable look cool. It is just a total waste of money. It has nothing to do with sound, purely visual. Mechanical artwork."Are you saying that it is fine for a Porsche to look like a Toyota as long as the perfor... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? May be another benefit of the copper disc is that it may discharge some electrostatic charge build up? | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? @sbank Thanks for the TVT recommendation. I just sent him an email. Which SOTA do you have? How does it compare with the old Technics? | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? @chakster, Michael Fremer liked some carbon fiber mat on Technics 1200G. Do you think CU-180 is better? How do you handle warped records? Periphery ring? | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? @lewm In what way is Technics SP-10 MK3 better than MK2? Is the SQ difference dramatic? | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I have been looking at Technics 1200G and did some thinking about much more expensive Technics TT such as SP10MKII, SP 10MK3, SP10R. From what I can see the new 1200G has a rock solid speed. If the expensive TTs are not much better than 1200G in s... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? What is the advantage of using a low compliance cartridge? Is it for a specific sound character? Otherwise it seems like one is limiting himself to heavy tonearms. | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I heard some people say that TP tends to sound more muted than FR-64s. I guess this will depend on the cartridge match. But, do you think there is any validity in this point about TP? Reed 3P does look a lot like TP and easy to adjust everything.... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? @sbank Seems like you are making all valid points. What tonearm/cartridge are you using with your SOTA? | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I have a good rack and I am the only one in the listening room. I have been reading about the Micro Seiki RX5000/FR64S combination. Some people love them, others not so much. What do you think? Are they worth the price? |
