| DL103 vs. DL103R My experience of the 103R mirrors Twl, it may exhibit some upward tilt in the upper registers, but this will largely go ahead once the cartridge is run-in and with proper setup - VTA slight tail down. Actually I attribute the highs to treble exten... | |

| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER I agree with AROC, once it goes to CD medium which is limited to 16/44.1, something is lost in the mix.While it is true that the entire 24/96 digital master would not be fully transferred to the analog master, I would argue that the lost is not as... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER "It also helps to know that back left is usually where the bass drum is."Not entirely true all the time. Some examples of the bass timpanis on the right rear of the soundstage are :Beethoven Symphony No.1 Karajan BPO 1961/2 cycle on DGGBeethoven P... | |
| Can anybody define LOW OUTPUT...? Is the Troica's output really that low?As a rough guage, IMO only and YMMV,Low < 0.4mvMed 0.4 - 1.x mvHi >2mvWhat's more important is the matching of the cart's output to the phono's gain.For the low output MCs, gain required is approx >6... | |
| Settingup to live VS.audio system for max results Sometimes the live experience can be overhyped too. To get the true sense of a live event, you should sit fairly close to the performers. Beyond a certain point and all the secondary reflections cloud out the main event and its of little value.I'd... | |
| To Loricraft users TbgOps, correction, I meant the arm will move from right to left. Eeek, brain thinking faster than fingers type... | |
| To Loricraft users TbgThe outside-in method is like playing LPs, place the arm at the start of the LP, not on the side past the spindle. The arm will still move from left to right.In practice I've found that the inside-out method produces the best results. | |
| To Loricraft users Hi DougThanks for your replies and mails, good user advice which is always welcomed.a) I got my unit in Singapore, not from Smart Developments, so pls don't chastise them - LOL. It would be good for Loricraft to go back to the glass bottle though.... | |
| Interspace synergy I'm biased...to unipivots generally, but I suppose it really depends on the sound you're getting from either cart/arm combination.Rega arms have a tendency to get the timing of the music right, and that single virtue outweighs many of its other sh... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER Well Pabelson, from real life listening sessions, LP has always produced superior soundstaging AND bass separation. While from a technical standpoint, what you say about suming the deep bass on an LP maybe true, but below roughly 80hz bass is non-... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER I disagree with Pabelson's assessment of the LP having "no stereo bass, limited dynamic range". Quite possibly the LP playback system is not properly setup if one experiences these problems. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path DougFrank discontinued the model 1, replacing it with the DPS which is cheaper than the 1, but the DPS offers easier setup and borrows some parts of the model 2, but with a wooden armwand. The model 2 has always been on his line. In fact, he hinte... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path I believe the Schroeder model 2 is below $2k, plus it shares the same string suspension and magnetic damping of its more expensive brethren. |
