| Any Rhea owners using tube rings/dampers? Another option that seemed to be popular a while back, Herbie's Audio Dampening Instruments. You can get the Halo-7's for $10 a piece.I'm without table for a while so I can't try this in my Rhea. | |
| Popping Sound From TT You may still get some with heavy LP's, like 180 and 200 gram records. | |
| Popping Sound From TT Static. Is your Scout's bearing grounded? If not, you can improve and maybe eliminate this condition by attaching a ground wire. I keep a barometer in my listening room and run a humidifier this time of year to keep the humidity up. I think this i... | |
| ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm This idea of "microing by eye" got me thinking and checking myself. On my soon to be gone table I noticed that when I clamped an Lp down that it tended to be biased toward the spindel, probably by at least 1/32 of and inch. So I changed the way I ... | |
| audio aero capitole cd player I dare say that my BAT VK D5SE is every bit as good and maybe better in some ways than the capitole. I've also heard the Reimyo which is also very good. My "old" BAT CDP is good, but not as good as my Basis 2500 with either Graham 2.2 or Basis Vec... | |
| I received my new table today Sweet move! Tubes and vinyl are wonderful! Let everyone know when you and the table breakin and we'll start showering you with all those "this is what you need now" posts, like a RCM. Enjoy!Dan | |
| Yet another wacko 'Help Me Decide' thread... DAM-QWaP ?????? AFLAK ????? DAM-QWaP ????? AFLAK ????? | |
| ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm I really hope to meet all of you guys some day, even Raul. I am thoroughly convinced that half of you are almost as screwed up as I am and the other half are closin' in! Keep workin' at it, I've got a really good head start.Larry, as I posted else... | |
| Best cartridge under $800 for Graham 2.2 Hi Blueranger, I can say that I am pretty happy with the performance of my 2.2 and Benz Glider on a Basis 2500. Mine is the Glider MO. I have been told by a few A'gon members that there is a very good step up with the Benz LO cart.Best of luck in ... | |
| My Rhea's new partner arrives today UPDATE! The tele's arrived today! The BAT has met it's match and then some! Sorry Jfrech, I really love Balanced Audio and I'm sure the 51SE is superb but the price difference will buy a lot of tubes.First things first. Cello, we're talking really... | |
| Cart for Basis Debut/Graham? HI Kenl,I tend to agree with Kurt_tank based on my experiences with a highly modified 834P. This is a really good phono stage for the money. It does suffer roll off at both extremes and is warm and veiled compared to other phono stages. Last year ... | |
| My Rhea's new partner arrives today Thanks Stanhifi! Humor is always welcome and even more so since tonight I'm full of Buffalo chicken wings and Jack 'n coke!I hope folks are still getting something useful from my fumbling about here. After scanning through different thread here an... | |
| Basis Turntable site?????????????exist or ? www.basisaudio.comYou may still have to email them to get the answer to your question. They are normally very responsive. | |
| My Rhea's new partner arrives today Today I'm posting some early Calypso tube rolling results. I tried a pair of Ei 12ax7's but the ones I have just didn't really sound that quiet although they are better than the stock tubes which are a pair of Teslovaks. Next I swapped in Tesla EC... | |
| Who has heard & compared the good tables? George,I know Albert will be able to give you a much more experienced answer. However, the differences between your 2000 and a Basis 2500 will be quite significant. I made an upgrade from a 2001 to a 2500 last year. Much, much more dynamic and the... |
