| Records weights or pucks -heavy or light? Yes, you'll just have to get some different ones and try them. For example, I haven't yet found ANY weight or clamp that doesn't squash the sound when used on my table. But every situation is different. After you play with this for a while you may... | |
| Inner Tracks Sound Raspy Good luck. :-) | |
| Inner Tracks Sound Raspy Don't be fooled by Syntax's sarcasm. ;-) What you are describing is the classic definition of mis-tracking due to improper alignment. Listen to Macd and Audiofeil. You need to learn to do this correctly yourself, or find someone local to you that ... | |
| Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter? Let me restate that. ;-) The mass is not there for inertia. That flywheel affect that folks like to think about when high mass platters are mentioned with belt drives would only matter when the platter is accelerating or decelerating. Once the pla... | |
| Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter? Nothing cogs like a DD. The mass of the platter has nothing to do with flywheel inertia. | |
| Uncommonly long RCA IC cables? Al, also that exact 2534. I checked again when I got home. ;-) | |
| Uncommonly long RCA IC cables? Yep, agree with Kr4 and Viridian about the impedance matching a drive strength. I have 25' SE Mogami ICs myself, which are in parallel with a pair of 1.5m Nordost Valkyrja ICs. They sound great. | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Hotmail, it is bad enough this thread has de-volved into nothing but a rant about the cost of living in NYC. Throwing in the political crap is just making things worse. It doesn't matter to me if you follow Chairman Mao or Barry Goldwater, but can... | |
| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? I can't say specifically about Quietex, and I only have one clear vinyl record. I did not hear any improvement with that record, but it sounds pretty damn good anyway. The explanation I have read is that the ferrous particles come with the carbon ... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Hey hotmail, living in the Ozarks you should have no problem finding anyone to fight with regarding your views on just about any topic you choose. Why not seek one of your neighbors out for a good argument. Doing it here is only dragging this BS t... | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Dread and mapman, from all of the reviews I'd say you guys are in the minority opinion.Personally, I can't stand the entire super bowl circus. Just play the damn game. | |
| How important is the tonearm? And many will tell you the same about buying anything analog. Your value judgment is your own. | |
| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? Yeah, who ever heard of changing the path of optical particles with magnetic fields. ;-) The only thing ridiculous about this is that some companies want to charge an audiophool "tax" on demag products. Even at $200, the Walker Talisman is over pr... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Definitely resonance management. Every part resonates to some degree on a tonearm, and they don't all behave the same due to being made from different materials. Joel's approach certainly seems to sum things up nicely. | |
| Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions? If something induces a current one could probably hear it, especially with a low output cart. I don't think lifting the motor at least a quarter of an inch above the lp is going to show much of anything as far as the tiny magnetic fields that thes... |
