| Turning lead into gold ? I think 'Stringreen' will be displeased with me.I have posted the following elsewhere, so I will shorten it.30 years ago I was a student in London ont.. I went to London Audio, and was given an education in high end.Straight to the punchline; The ... | |
| Sumiko tonearm rewire Wait till you see how small a 46awg wire is. You can hardly see it.Once you have cleaned off the ends, at both ends, you now have to start testing with an Ohm meter. This is to see which strands are which. Leave an entire evening for this. | |
| "Making Mono" for checking Azimuth Dougey Dougey Dougey. As always, your comments are always bang on. When I had the Tri, your emails helped me immensely.May I make an observation?,..........thank you.I have the Talea ll. On some records the sound is bang on. On others it is not. I... | |
| Sumiko tonearm rewire Sorry for the delay.Litz wire can be found on ebay. PLease remember each tiny strand is coated. This must be removed. If you have a solder pot, great, if not - get some solder on the end of your iron tip, rub it across the ends of the wire, repeat... | |
| Sumiko tonearm rewire I have never rewired a Sumiko. So I can add no advice for that part.1)34awg is only a starting point. There are many of us that believe the smaller the better. I am using 44awg magnet wire, enamel coated. The clarity in the midrange is astounding.... | |
| Duped again Unless I am wrong, the re-issues start with the master tape.Unless I am wrong, radio stations way back kept their tapes in a cooled room. This was to preserve the sound on the tape.Unless I am wrong, the tiny metal pieces on the master tape, which... | |
| How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge Salectric, I agree with you 100%, but bringing in a Galbier (Teres, Redpoint, TW Acustic, Saskia, etc.) into the discussion is just unfair. I'm taking my Talea and going home!!. | |
| How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge I remember going into London Audio while at University. This was 25 years ago. The gentleman in charge was very nice. He knew I was not in a position to buy anything, but he sat me down and put on an album side. At the conclusion of the album he c... | |
| Kate Bush I had a similar? problem with a Lucinda Williams LP.With carefull adjustment of azimuth and anti-skate I was able to get rid of my 'left channel 'hiss''. I am not sure if you are having the same type of problem.The other side of the album played p... | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Sorry about that, 10.5" for the Talea ll. Have started saving for a 12", with the Telos at the top of my list.Any thoughts on the attributes of the counterweight being below the pivot point?. | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Thank you Grr6001. My system is at the point where the limitations of a 9.5" arm are noticable.Glad to hear the wire has been improved. | |
| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? I have to second the RS Labs A1 and Durand designs.The Talea ll did best my RS Labs, but I think a lot had to do with Azimuth adjustment. I had a difficult time with the A1.I will say that replacing the RCA ends on the Talea's cable with WBT Nextg... | |
| Which tonearm cable? My biggest improvement was changing the RCA connectors on my present cable to WBT Nextgen.I know they are expensive, and you need to solder it yourself, but you might also be impressed. | |
| Review: Allnic L-5000 Tube preamp For those of you in the greater Toronto area, I am in Brampton. I have the L-5000 with the H3000V phono pre. I will agree with Carl, it just sounds right.Anytime you want a listen, please email or call, 905-796-3978, blaleff@rogers.com | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea We are now at ~100 hours.The Talea ll / Allnic Puritas combo have come into their own. I will add that the Atma-Sphere MP-1mklll pre / MA-1mklll amps help things. The TTWeights mass loaded Black Onyx turntable gives a foundation to the base that i... |
