| Mint Tractor Congrats there, Stringreen. What you describe in increased performance sounds very much like what I heard when I first used the MintLP protractor. The reason is very, very simple. Yip has not invented new math, or new curves, or anything else. He ... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions BTW, downunder. I think you mis-interpreted what Sunnyboy posted. The fact that the Rega and MintLp protractors use the same Stephenson alignment equations will show roughly the same results. And to quote Sunny: I should point out that its all to ... | |
| Advice re: home-brew water What is it going to cost you to set up the equipment to produce water at this purity? How much of this do you really need? I can see a 5 gallon container of water lasting me the rest of my life. Oh, and if you haven't already, look into steaming y... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions LOL. G'day, my friend. | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions First up, it works and works well so no issues there.What else does it need to do? ;-) | |
| faint precession of sound on vinyl I can pull out a dozen CDs that have pre-echo. It's the master tape, not the format. | |
| Soundsmith retips I have had my XV-1s re-tipped by Soundsmith and I'd do it again in a hearbeat. Peter does excellent work.I don't think you will get changes in tone from a re-tip, but you will get a good bump in resolution if you go with their line-contact stylus.... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Headsnappin, go back and read the posts by Palasr on the first page of this thread. He has compared the Wally and the MintLp protractors. | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Pro-ject has lowered the mass substantially (it's not zero) with magnetic repulsion.With magnetic repulsion the designer has to account for vibrations within the platter. Otherwise all that energy is going to wind up in the tonearm and you will he... | |
| Those simpler times..... I remember listening to all of this music with friends back then and we picked it apart mercilessly. Picked it clean to the bones like vultures. Are the lyrics any good? Are there any new sounds? Are the sonics any good? Is this LP as good as thei... | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Galibier SeracYou can even get it with a cartridge for just a smidge more than your budget. | |
| Triplanar madness I tell u, madness Yeah, Cuz'. You need to set everything somewhat neutral and just listen for for a while. Let the cartridge and tonearm wires settle in while you learn what this combo sounds like.If your wife is only calling you IDIOT then you aren't trying hard e... | |
| Passive Biamping? I agree with Gregm. It is going to be much easier to install an L-pad at or near the crossover for the woofer. The best place would be immediately after the frequency selecting circuit and before any Zobel, if used. That way you can use the driver... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt How can you go wrong with a name like BigCrank! ;-) So far I've stayed with the jump start type battery packs that can be found at various places. I don't have an external charger and these come with one built in. So, there is another item for the... | |
| Lyra Titan i on Basis Vector 4 experience? Yes, I would be most interested to get my hands on a Davinci 12" arm. But unless I hit the lottery or something it will probably not happen.JMW, which ZYX? |
