| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I'm not sure why this is any issue. Based on the consensus and what I heard there is no reason to question any of the impressions due to the loading.I'm guessing that Raul and Doug and Paul are intelligent enough to figure out if there was any gro... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I realize that I neglected to ask Raul what the 3150 designation meant. :) | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way Thanks for clearing up the 350, Indigorose. So this is not DD but can be upgraded later. Can you fill in more details on the magnetic dampening? | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Hi, all.I wanted to post back about my thoughts on this meeting yesterday. First and foremost, it was a great pleasure to finally meet and talk with Raul. He is a very genuine person and really loves this hobby we all share. For those who have not... | |
| My Teres 350 is on the way Congratulations Indigorose! It might be an advantage to get the table running for a while and then adding the Schroeder later. You'll be able to know what benefits each is bringing to the music.Good questions, Groovey. I think part of the reason f... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? What is your floor like? Seems like most folks with non-suspended tables get excellent results with anything that is rigid. Avoid direct placement on MDF. I've built a stand with integrated sandboxes and 2 1/2 hard maple shelves. Works almost too ... | |
| Simple way to burn in phono cable w/ din ? I used this method on Albert's recommendation recently to break-in the wires on a Triplanar, with a little twist. Instead of doing any soldering I picked up a package of test wires from Radio Shack that have alligator clips on both ends. I connect... | |
| Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R. Tweaky? Not sure what you mean, I haven't tweaked anything on the Alaap and the custom features I went with were just simpler volume controls and a range of phono input loads. I thought we were talking about stuff that was not so generic, but you ... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Andrew, your reactions to Raul and Jose's preamp are pretty much what I expected. I had a similar eye-opening (or should that be ear-opening) experience when I first heard Nick's Alaap gear. Superior to all commercially available units that I've e... | |
| Step up above Acoustic Signature Mambo Ha ha! Andrew, you're going down the same slope I'm on! Well, slide on down and we'll enjoy the ride together. :)Looks like we'll be meeting Raul up here this weekend.Best,Dan | |
| Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R. "I really have not noticed any "filtering" effect of the micro-dynamic information by using step-up transformers but perhaps you are speaking more of the readily available commercial versions."Tom, you would be completely correct in my case. Do yo... | |
| Step up above Acoustic Signature Mambo Yes, Andrew, how did things go? I've been side-tracked by some sat tv issues the last few days and forgot to check back. Best,Dan | |
| Your thoughts on Scoutmaster versus Basis 2001 I can't help with the comparison as I've only heard a VPI table once or twice. My experience with Basis is that you won't hear what this line is really capable of until you get up to the 2500 or higher. That's not to say the 2001 is not a fine tab... | |
| Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R. Thanks for the link, Jhendrixfan. I believe I saw a familiar face or two in the photos. Are you trying to kick up old dust around active vs. passive MC gain? :) I'm currently in the active camp as I believe that step-ups cannot avoid a level of fi... | |
| Step up above Acoustic Signature Mambo Raul, I just got in and saw your email, I've sent you a reply. This week isn't going to work for me. I keep forgetting how close to Christmas we are. Let's try to do this in the future.I look forward to hearing Andrew's report!Best,Dan |
