| How critical is the exact placement of the tonearm It is amazing how good a tonearm/card will sound even if pivot-to-spindle is off by only .03 mm or so. But it is amazing how much better it does sound when you reduce that error even more. | |
| getting back into vinyl Is it the table, arm, cartridge or phono section that is most noticeable to you?The answer to your question is yes. They all make a difference. Sorry, no easy solution so you need to spread your budget and chose each component wisely. I think this... | |
| how to set speed with strobe and speed controller Whatever disc and light you use, you should think about finding a record in your collection that has a dynamic track and play that while setting the speed. This will account for stylus drag. | |
| Speakers "pumping" with record warps - normal? The issue I see with using tonearm dampening is that it will affect the entire frequency range. If the woofer excursions are only with warped lps I can't see subjecting the entire vinyl collection to the dampening because of a few warped lps. I th... | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres Good luck and keep us posted! | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres Dude! That's sick! Lumping Yes, Tull, Miles in with the Cowshills and Part-ridges! What's happened to ya' over all these years! | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres What happened to you guys?!? Those albums you've brought up are in my regular rotation. ;-) | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres Glory, give it a rest. It seems to me Joe has stated that he's moved on. Stop pretending you know anything about that relationship and stick to audio advice. This ain't the Oprah show and you ain't Dr. Phil! :-) | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres It was the complications of building platter that kept me from building my own a few year back. But then, I don't have the shop that you have. Not so much the puzzling together and epoxy work. I had that worked out. Access to a good CNC would make... | |
| Thinking of selling my Teres I have to tell you, Joe, that I really enjoyed following your build. You did one hell of a great job. I think I understand where you are coming from. Sometimes it is about the journey, and not just the destination.So you essentially have something... | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours But the query is questionable. What should be asked is: in the absence of biological contamination on my records, what effect do enzymes have as cleaners?The answer is very simple. None whatsoever.Well. Duh! ;-) Punkuk, I can highly recommend AIVS... | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours Yeah, this topic was discussed before. IIRC, the enzymes that Walker uses may be of a type that lose effectiveness after a few hours. But I can't really say for sure. Enzymes don't really "die" per se, they are organic compounds but not living org... | |
| you've got $25,000.00 What is the rest of your system?If you want to spend the whole budget, Galibier Stelvio, Wheaton Triplanar arm, ZYX Universe cartridge. Puts you right about $24.7K. | |
| Lost on next upgrade from SME 20/2 + IV.Vi arm ... HI Raul,I wasn't meaning to suggest there is anything wrong with the Lyra. I get the impression that John is just looking for a change in sound. As others have said his system is very good and I think that much of what he might replace would just ... | |
| Lost on next upgrade from SME 20/2 + IV.Vi arm ... John, how about just getting a different cartridge? |
