| Changing from an XV1-S Dcarol, what had many of us vibrating and contorting was not that you want to change cartridges. I don't expect everyone to love the XV-1s. There are several great cartridges I could love. However, you seem to have made up your mind on your own th... | |
| Changing from an XV1-S Thanks, Mike. I appreciate comparing notes and I apologize for giving the feeling of an ambush. Re-reading my last post I realize it could be taken with a tone I hadn't intended.Still, I could better understand for myself your impressions with res... | |
| Changing from an XV1-S Mike, Can you give a frequency range where you think the XV-1s obscures bass? I am a bit familiar with the Lyra. How would you describe the a90 compared to Lyra? Not which is better, but how do they differ in character? | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker My take, and I have to research this as I am now technically an audio commercial user, is that as long as someone has registered in this fashion the requirements of A'gon are satisfied. My personal feeling matches that of Audiofeil's. | |
| Changing from an XV1-S SLS has been around for several decades, but this is the first application in cartridge chassis building. Maybe even in audio, but I don't think Ortophon has discovered Warp Drive. What is interesting is that the shapes of the A90 and XV-1s have s... | |
| What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup? 1/2 of a bottle of Tequila, four or five beers, a couple of Mai-Tais. I have no idea what Oakley is trying to say. I even went out, cranked up the local hip-hop, and drifted around my neighborhood for an hour. Still can't translate it. Maybe drift... | |
| subwoofer thump on player Turn off your sub. Vinyl is not a medium that does much below the 20-30Hz range. This could be bearing rumble or drive system issue. Either way, I would not expect much good from that table in the down low area. | |
| Changing from an XV1-S XV-1s is old technology. Well, ok. 99% of the population think this whole vinyl thing is old technology. ;-)I can sympathize a bit with Dcarol. It can be near impossible to have the opportunity to hear several of the great cartridges listed on thi... | |
| rumble issues - see old thread update I think that if you filled the bearing all the way there should be no reason to worry about oil. There is no place for it to go. The bearing itself? Ah, no. ;-) Got it this time. The one SRA turned out to not be a good match with the table. There ... | |
| rumble issues - see old thread update HI Richard,Yes, I never liked the idea of air and pumps.I did have some time this morning to scan the Halcyonics. The only issue I have with it is that it is active, however it is reported to have a faster damping time. Yes, this kind of device do... | |
| rumble issues - see old thread update I just finished reading up on that device. Oh, yeah. That MinusK is a completely different league. It had better be for that price. Then again, when you look at the price of decent equipment racks it doesn't look as expensive. | |
| Is the Basis 2001 a solid enough table to keep. Yes, I agree. I wouldn't buy one with the SME-type mount if I had any thought of upgrading to a Vector. | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Mike, save me seat in the back and I'll buy a round. :-) | |
| rumble issues - see old thread update Nope, no dogma here. I specifically included this is my opinion. The granite was added on top of the craz, if I read Tom's post correctly. If that extra mass reduced oscillations getting to the speakers, something is moving too much. I didn't mean... | |
| Ear protection for concerts You won't need earplugs for the Junkies, but you may need something to keep you awake. ;-)I go to about a dozen rock concerts a year. I find the best way to avoid hearing issues is to sit on the side and close to the stage. YOu don't get blasted a... |
