| TriPlanar Tips Paperw8, while you're experimenting with removing the trough, here is something for you to ponder about. The equation you cited for estimating the resonant frequency of the system formed by the arm/cart is just that. An estimate. Real measurements... | |
| TriPlanar Tips What is obvious to me, Paperw8, is that you have had your TP for a few months, we're going on many years of our own experiences with the TP. I have had my TP for five years and I know that is far less than the length of time Thom and Doug have own... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Paperw8, did you TRY listening to the TP with that trough removed? Atmasphere posted that he also has removed the trough, or did you miss that? | |
| Changing from an XV1-S Well I suppose I'll have to wait and hear the A90 for myself. No offense, Jazdoc, but that was not exactly a description of a cart's performance that I would gravitate to. Tighter bass, ok. I could deal with that just fine. However, this issue of ... | |
| Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP The cardas instructions suggest about an hour for cart breakin, in reference to tracks 2,3, and 4 of side 2. They also include this quote, "Save your cartridge for music!".I find the sweep to be a useful maintenance tool, but I would never try to ... | |
| Summertime ss amp Question Buy an air conditioner? Much cheaper. ;-) | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 Oh, that's a cold-hearted woman. :-) | |
| Why do old tubes sound better than current tubes? I've got some of those expensive, NOS EL 34s. Maybe I should auction them off since I replaced them with current production 6AC7 because they sound much better to me in my amp. I like syrup on my waffles, but not my music. ;-)My amp, pre and phono... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Paperw8, I would advise you to stop tapping and start listening. Your test, by the way, does not tell you anything about resonances during playback and that is what is important. (I'd like to find the first guy who ever started this "tapping" argu... | |
| analog newbie question/vinyl weight HA! Another trouble maker makes an appearance. :-) | |
| analog newbie question/vinyl weight Agreed, stltrains. The Triplanar does make life easier.Well, Dre, since Chester, NH, is the audio capital of the world, it did make sense. You remember those McDonald's signs claiming so may millions sold? not even close. :-) | |
| analog newbie question/vinyl weight Thanks, Dre! But I'm not paying you the cost of a Mitutoyo for the info. :-)I believe Doug just weighs them and figures the difference is in thickness. No reason to think otherwise.With the Talea it is very easy to set by ear. It screams at you wh... | |
| analog newbie question/vinyl weight I'm too cheap to buy one.outside micrometer | |
| Help with Cartridge selection Gandme,Yep, I'm thinking along the same lines as Bill, but it's not my money we're spending here. :-) (With your system I'd be thinking XV-1s, Orpheus L, Titan II, Benz LP, etc. but I understand needing to draw the line somewhere.) Even the Benz G... | |
| Turn table set up Fremer is right on this, it ain't rocket science, but does require a little manual dexterity, mechanical sense, and being able to hear changes through the system in question. And, a scale! Among other tools. :-) |
