| Blue Note 45rpm reissue Are most of these mono? Is there a "best way" to order the lot of them? | |
| Arcam phono board - problems I think you're just hearing the gain stage in the phono card. Remember that phono signals must be amplified much more than digital sources. It could be ground issue, but if it's barely audible at normal listen volume I suspect not. | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Amfibius, I don't know if you've said this before or not but have you had any experience with vinyl? | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? I'll leave that question for Thom. When I ordered my Gavia I already had a Triplanar so I just went with the Stelvio armboard. I was familiar with the benefits of a heavier platter so again I just chose the Gavia platter. I often wonder how the St... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable OH, BOY! Now we get to spend $17K of someone else's money! While I ponder my version of a shopping list I'll throw out some more things that can be pondered while visiting the porcelain throne.I'm not intending to pick on Dgarretson here. I'm just... | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Ah, that's probably the reason for the suggestion to use some type of plastic sheeting around 1/2 the diameter. Supposedly, you can tune the amount of reflection by turning the tube trap. I did that on some of my traps but I have to admit I was no... | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Don't know what Nsgarch replied, but his description makes perfect sense to me in light of Jon Risch's tube trap recipe. Half solid, half open means to me that if you look at the tube from one end then 1/2 the diameter is filled with material and ... | |
| Tracking Force By "hilly ones" I assume you mean warped. If it were me, I'd keep the VTF at a more reasonable setting and find a better copy of those warped LPs. You may not be hurting the records but you are squashing the life out of the cartridge's suspension.... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable It's not really over-analyzing. Moving the table, or allowing it to move, is exactly the principal behind a suspension. The idea is to sink the vibrations into the suspension, which I believe are eventually transfered into heat from the friction i... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Raul, how do you say "blah" in Spanish? ;-) | |
| Review: Alaap Audio (Doshi) Mark II Tube preamp Great job, Peter!makes me turn my head when I hear somethingI know exactly what you mean and have expressed the same to Nick. I'm coming up on two years with my 4 chassis Alaap and I still get these moments during every listening session. Vinyl or... | |
| Accidental improvement in performance...cheap In addition to a possible bass trap as Tobias mentioned, also consider that you treated the first reflection point on the floor. Maybe you should try and hang one of those air mattresses from the ceiling as well. :-) | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable I'm sure if you take away any part that was designed in there will be a change. That's true of any table. Because a particular table of either design doesn't work in one situation does not invalidate the design philosophy in any way. Even within t... | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? Yes, I'm talking about the armboard with the big "oil can" dampener. The original armboard will work fine. | |
| STEP UP transformers ?? The Bent MU is no more so the best bet right now would be to find a used pair. From what I understand John Chapman of Bent Audio is getting close to finding a new transformer so he can start shipping MUs again. |
