| Audio Note, Vecteur, Audiomeca transports..HELP The CEC doesn't sound slow, or thick, but rather smooth, akin to analogue. I've owned a TL2 for well over 5 years and never had any breakdown problems, only normal wear and tear. After 5 years, changed the belt, replaced the LED readout, and the t... | |
| Anyone heard/compared these carts? Gregm & ExtremephonoThanks for the inputs. I arranging to listen to the Urushi with my phono before deciding. I had the opportunity to listen to the Allaerts and find it to be as you put it "musically precise". There was a slight emphasis to t... | |
| Reversed Polarity LP Cuts - Examples? Last nite had a listen to a couple of LPs and this time, I took the extra step of reversing polarity using the spk terminals. I have to say that reversing polarity with LPs IS audible. If its out of phase, the music appears to be disoriented, veil... | |
| Anyone heard/compared these carts? Hi ExtremephonoThe arm is the Kuzma Reference, effective wt 13g, I think would not be a problem with the 11.5-12g wt of the Urushi.Phono is the Herron mc, which has 66db gain, enough for most, except the lowest output mcs. Only concern is that the... | |
| Anyone heard/compared these carts? Hi again GregmHypothetical question. If one desires musical truth, would the Koetsu be considered to be so colored that ultimately it does not satisfy?I know I'm threading a fine line here, but if you are familar with an LP and know that there is ... | |
| Reversed Polarity LP Cuts - Examples? Zaikesman, yes, one shd always get the polarity right. I too have a polarity button on my DAC, but never used it, except by accident. Which DAC do you use? | |
| Reversed Polarity LP Cuts - Examples? Zaikesman, I dunno about you, but not everyone can hear the difference when the phase of a recording is reversed, at least I couldn't. There was a test CD on Chesky, can't remember which one, that had David Chesky doing some recording in and out o... | |
| Analog system Forgot to add:Herron Audio VTSP-1mc phono. | |
| Reversed Polarity LP Cuts - Examples? Not sure about that. I do know that about half of LPs pressed at the time, maybe still, are reversed phase. Most of the time, it doesn't matter to the sound, but on certain LPs, you will notice weaker bass. Reversing polarity, either at the cart o... | |
| Why so few pictures posted in Virtual systems? Megasam, empty Fosters? Nah, they're full...I wish.They're actually empty health suppliment bottles my friend. | |
| Anyone heard/compared these carts? Hi GregmPerhaps I should re-phase my question. I currently have the Dynavector Te Kaitora and would like something "different", an alternative view of the music. An "involving" cart, if you like.I find the DV TK to be very dynamic and able to thro... | |

| Why so few pictures posted in Virtual systems? Hi EricpJust posted my system(with pics). Pls preview at:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1052210297&openusid&zzCmk&4&5#Cmk | |
| Major Problems with Aleph Ono I'd suggest placing the tt on a solid support, like a granite base. I have my placed on a custom cut base and there's no feedback vibration problems.If the woofer wobble disappears after the first track, this may mean that the cart is not optimall... | |
| Reversed Polarity LP Cuts - Examples? Dave Grusin - Discovered Again on Sheffield Lab.There's a note in the centre of the folder that's marked to Audiophiles to reverse polarity for best results. |
