| Son et Image 2011 - Montreal I think you nailed it at the beginning. Most of the better systems where in smaller rooms, and the bigger speakers in the bigger rooms paid no attention to room acoustics.The Hansen room played music from the computer. There where no transients, a... | |
| EMM Labs DAC2 Rickron51I loo am looking at the 'X' upgrade.Emm tells me the entire analogue board is changed. There is another thread that talks about changing the fuse, IEC receptacle, silk pillows underneath, etc. I am not confident that changing the fuse wil... | |

| Schroder sq and the new talea We are now at the 20 hour mark.The arm / cart are breaking in nicely. After some very minor changes, my wife and I are astounded.The only downside, either really old pressings, or newer 180gram + recordings are the only truly listenable albums. We... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Hello Lewm12 noon and I just got out of bed. We where up till 4 am listening. 'Too clear' has changed to 'Wow, that's amazing'. The RS Labs A1 has been beat.Now comes the long road of 'I should be tweaking instead of just listening'.I will wait ti... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Thank you Ralph (Atmasphere)I will not worry about loading until I get a better handle on the arm / cart combo.I did take about 3 hours of slow, careful, assembly/aligning before I even tried an album. Let me start by saying that I am unquallified... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Thanks for the info guys. I think this should be good.The Talea 11 has arrived, and let me start by saying that the packaging is fabulous. Attention to detail is the best I have ever seen. I already know it is going to be amazing.First order of bu... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea OK tonearm guru's.Help. My Talea ll is on it's way. I have an Allnic Puritas on loan. 11 gram weight. 18 ohm impedence.Ralph, what did you mean by changing effective mass by repositioning the three seperate weights on the Triplanar?. Is there some... | |

| Benefits of a record ring Mosin, I have to agree with you. On some albums the ring is a plus, some not so much, and still others no way.I find that the albums that are really flat (typically 200g pressings), benefit from no ring or center clamp. I will postulate that the a... | |
| Benefits of a record ring Hey DougHere is a problem my wife and I encountered last night. We started listening shortly after supper, but, my post it notes where all wrong!!!, we had to lower the arm on each album a tiny bit, around 1.0 - 1.5 on the dial. As the night wore ... | |
| Benefits of a record ring I have the new TTweights Black Onyx table and am using the TriPlanar Vll. When the arm is set at the recommended pivot to spindle length, the arm does come in contact with the ring near the end of the albums, but, there is also room in the Tri's h... | |
| TTWeights new Black Onyx Idler drive Turntable My Black Onyx is back.There is now a seperate stand alone armboard. Pictures are on Larry's website. Because my speakers are 17 years old, they are now the limiting component in my system. From memory it is ever so slightly better than the plinth ... | |
| TTWeights new Black Onyx Idler drive Turntable Thank you Doug and HihoI am going to go and do a bit more tuning. I'll let you know how it progresses.Hiho; The motor shaft is driving the inside of platter, not the inside of the rim. You are correct in saying that an exterior motor driving the o... | |
