| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Well, I mis-spoke and lead you guys in the wrong direction. I meant to refer to the angle of the tonearm as being tail down and not the actual VTA. Sorry to be inaccurate in my postings.Andrew, you have absolutely nothing to appologize for!Ya' kno... | |
| Origin live Silver or VPI JMW-9 Signature Z', are you considering the SME V? | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Neil, I nominate Raul to be the host of a comparison meeting. That way we all get a vacation in Mexico and hear some really great reproduction! (Plus we can spend his money on cartridges. :) )Perhaps I missed it somewhere in Andrew's posts, but wa... | |
| Your favorite prog rock music? ? R_burke! You beat me to Ozric Tentacles! :) Here's another great band that came to me, IQ. | |
| Your favorite prog rock music? ? You guys listed all of mine except Renaissance. Most specifically "Ashes Are Burning" and "Turn of the Cards".I would also add Alan Parsons, Caravan, Camel and It's a Beautiful Day. | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Great idea, Neal. When are you planning to make the comparison? | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Hi Andrew,I'd love a trip down to Hot 'lanta. It's been many years since I was there.It seems to me that we can rule out a difference in arms since both you and Doug are using the same arm. I have also wondered about the arm position on Doug's Tri... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Hi Raul,I guess you really had something to say since your response got posted twice! :) Just kidding, I know you did some editing.Doug did express much of the same reservations that you did concerning such a quick cartridge comparison. I think yo... | |
| Origin live Silver or VPI JMW-9 Signature Hi Bill,Yes, I'm familiar with the Basis VTA option. I once had the pleasure of a first hand demo from A.J. in his shop. That is one very well engineered and implemented device! It had better be for $800. :) I completely agree with you regarding t... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Well said, Larry. Well said.I picked up on the undercurrent several days ago and it became somewhat obvious why Doug was hesitating to post. I've been struggling with how to respond but I'm glad I didn't because I could not have said it better tha... | |
| Origin live Silver or VPI JMW-9 Signature That sounds like a good idea as long as you can swing the extra budget. Last spring I was able to hear a new Teres model that was built entirely from birch ply and hardwood. It sounded very nice. Not as detailed and dynamic as a cocobolo model, bu... | |
| Origin live Silver or VPI JMW-9 Signature Drminky does bring up a good point that you should consider. That is, what are you likely to do in the future regarding cartridges? And, very important, what table are you using?If you don't intend in venturing beyond, say a $1K cartridge investme... | |
| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? Hi guys,I thought I might share my experience with my imbalanced room. Hope this might help give some ideas. My listening room is the standard L-shaped room. Early on I experimented with several setups, playing across the long wall of the foot tow... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Thanks for these great tips, Doug! And thanks also for bringing this thread back to the top so I don't have to search for it. My Triplanar is back from Galibier along with the armpod. Now I can get the arm mounted and tweaked up. | |
