| Designing VPI HRX turntable stand long Gorgeous, Joe! Nice choice that copper and red coconut. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar, I'm pretty happy with the Rhea. When I was looking for a phono stage upgrade I had the Rhea and a BAT VK P10SE on the short list. Both are very good sounding units and I could be happy with either. Karma decided for me when a Rhea should up... | |
| Advice for new vinyl gear Are you a handy man? If so you can build RCM that will work every bit as good as a VPI and for a lot less money. It is pretty simple and it would be another great project to work on with your son.Check out this page.http://www.teresaudio.com/haven... | |
| Advice for new vinyl gear I'll just chime in that I started with a Music Hall, a MMF 7, and completely agree with Twl. These are good tables for the money and will serve you well. Watch out, though. You may get bitten by the analog bug! | |
| Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary? Restock,There are very high dollar VTA on the fly implementations that require loosening and retightening. The difference in the ones I have seen is that the tolerances are much more exact and reduce the amount the arm can move on its own while lo... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path I'll second Rushton, I love my Rhea! Bought mine used on A'gon as well and at about the same price point. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Thanks for the valued insights, Tom. Based on your explanation it does make sense to me that the additional rotating mass can have a positive impact on bass response, which is what I have heard when I moved to a table with a much more massive plat... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Twl does the lead loading in the acrylic platter do anything for bass response? I'm not accussing it of being bass shy cuz I don't know what the bass sounds like on any Teres. I do know that on other acrylic plattered tables that the bass seems to... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path DougDeacon, exactly why I'm keeping the Benz Glider for now! :) What I can't hear won't disappoint me! | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? To date, my Aesthetix Rhea. | |
| Designing VPI HRX turntable stand long Thanks for the compliment, Suttlaw. And thanks to Joe for getting that link to Chris's Tube Heaven up.I completely agree with Salectric's comments about trial and error when it comes to shelves, stands and racks. I have had commercial products and... | |
| Designing VPI HRX turntable stand long Maybe you can get some ideas by taking a look at the pictures of the stand I just built based on one that Chris Brady used for his system. I used sandboxes and maple slab shelves but the thickest I went was 1". I don't think they need to be all th... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Wow, this thread has come along way from a discussion about an $800 cartridge upgrade to talks about high-end tables and arms! No complaints here, I learn a great deal from threads such as this.On the subject of shopping trips. My wife spent Satur... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Sure thing, DougDeacon! To all, I am now soliciting donations for my "Dexter's Analog Lab" project. :') | |
| Record Cleaning Machines Ditto on the AIVS product! I have been using it for about a week. Really good stuff for cleaning used additions to my LP library. I also really like RRL cleaners, but this AIVS's specialty is cleaning those exceptionally dirty specimens.I am still... |
