| How good is the phono stage of the VAC sig.II pre- The biggest advantage to getting the separate phonostage is that it will have its own power supply. That could, probably would considering VAC's reputation, give you more of everything from vinyl playback. I'm sure Kevin could tell you what the di... | |
| What Cartridges to use with Triplanar IIV Tonearm? Someone Doug and I know also likes the Benz LP. I've owned a Glider for several years as a backup cartridge (it came with a table I once owned, so I kept it). I've not heard an LP but I sure hope it sounds better than the Glider, which it probably... | |
| What Cartridges to use with Triplanar IIV Tonearm? What kind of music to you listen to most? | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic JohnK, thanks for correcting me. I know that you are very much more experienced with horns and I certainly haven't experimented with all configurations, including my own Edgarhorns. I have heard of folks with the same horn system as I use that lis... | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Along the lines of what Shadorne is describing, there is usually a minimum recommended distance the listening position needs to be from the mouth of the horn. This may not be such a big deal with a single full range horn, but with a 2 or 3 way it ... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Well said, Mark. First, do no harm. Second, get everything off. Third, be proud you did it your way. | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Mark, I appreciate your position. However, by talking down to people Maclogan is alienating himself. I simply asked if he would be willing to share his own formula for cleaning LPs. I have no plans to attack him on this, even if he uses brillow pads. | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Maclogan, your always thrashing folks on threads about record cleaning. I'd be interested to hear what you use for cleaning your records. For Jimateo, search the archives. Use whatever the hell formula you want on your records. Be aware that there... | |
| Alignment Snafu? Or? Mark, I think that from your description of the issue you may just have to live with a small amount of error in the setup. In reality, we all do. The only thing we may be fortunate enough to do is limit that error more in one setup than some other... | |
| Record you spin on a rainy Saturday w/ family gone See AudioAsylum, specifically the Vinyl Asylum. This is practically all that's left over there. "What's spinnin', dudes?"Please, please, please! Let's not start this here! | |
| What Vinyl quality should I be using? What I found is that as you move up the chain some high-end analog setups can actually improve the playback of many of those less than pristine LPs. But it takes everything in the chain to get this kind of playback. It's not that the clicks and oc... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Kurt, it is not just the speakers. It is the room response with a particular speaker. For instance, my Edgarhorns measure fairly flat from 4kHz to 10kHz when the mic is ~1 meter from them. but at the listening position in my room there is a rather... | |
| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm I agree, Doug. It's not that one protractor is superior to another. All should work very well if they are used properly. But one could work better for someone versus another style protractor, depending simply on which may seem to be more user frie... | |
| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm That's correct, Dsa. The proprietor, Yip, makes the protractor for the tonearm parameters you specify. I had given him the numbers for the protractor I need without the name of the tonearm and table. I guess he is building a database as he asked f... | |
| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm Hitting both marks on a two point protractor makes one very huge assumption. That is, the pivot to spindle is dead nuts on. If it is not, there is nothing you can do to correct for it as the tonearm swings the arc. Sure, you might hit it at one po... |
