| Reel to reel orpheus10At 15 IPS the tape picks up the tiniest details; some that the cartridge glosses over ...If the phono cartridge cannot retrieve these details, then what makes you think the tape can reconstruct them? The answer, of course, is that it can... | |
| Reel to reel orpheus10At 15 IPS, my tape deck defies logic; yes, the copy is better than the source ...That doesn’t defy logic at all if you define "better" as a preference, and not a statement of technical superiority.If we define high fidelity as truthfulne... | |
| Reel to reel benjieHard to believe some people think that tape is the absolute worst recording media. I don't think anyone here has said that. | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus lewm... I also own and occasionally use an ultrasonic stylus cleaner. The thing about it, is that it is not ultra sonic. These devices vibrate at somewhere between 200 and 500 cps. That is in the audio range, and it is very unlikely to damage... | |
| Tidal digital hi-fi vs records lowrider57Using a direct copy of the analogue master to produce CDs. Minimal compression during the A to D process, no remastering, no additional EQ added.I'm referring to the mastering and transferring to media before the Loudness Wars.The O... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? millercarbonActually since the arm pivots then the tilt angle would have to be constantly adjusted during play. Since the tilt angle would need to be roughly perpendicular to the cartridge, and since no cartridge alignments result in it bein... | |
| Tidal digital hi-fi vs records lowrider57... the Harvest release should sound better since it was an original flat transfer ...What is a "flat transfer?" | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? lewm Tilting the turntable is about the same as hanging an anti-skate weight on a string, to pull the tonearm toward the spindle ... You’d have to tilt the TT very precisely toward the spindle, and you’d be guessing at the resulting anti-skate fo... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? lewm ... Of course headshell offset angle and other reasons for lack of tangency of the cantilever to the groove are what results in the skating force ...Exactly, and that's been my point. We're much more in agreement here than not.but there w... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? larryiThis issue has been raised with a number of cartridge manufacturers and I don't know of any who endorse not using anti-skating. VPI is not an advocate for the use of anti-skating. | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? lewm ... in real life the cause of the skating force is friction in the groove ...We have been down this road before and you are mistaken. Clearly, you are confusing cause and effect.Consider a properly aligned true, tangential, straight-line tra... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus slawWhile it doesn’t keep me up at night, I have wondered about the pos/neg effects of an US stylus cleaner?The positive effects are that it gets your stylus super, squeaky clean. That same stylus vibrates when it's playing an LP, which I think ... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? geoffkaitOf course it’s a real product. They’ve been around a long time. Really? I've never heard of 'em! Does the manufacturer have a website? | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? herman Cleeds, Relaxa is making the claims of complete decoupling here.Thanks. I've never heard of this company and I haven't seen the claims. Is this a real product, or is it vaporware? Can you tell us more about the manufacturer, and perhaps i... | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter browndt... Almost all styli need realignment from time to time anyway ...Will you please tell us what cartridges you've owned that led you to this conclusion? What kind of pickup arm did you have them installed in? |
