| tubes going microphonic always same channel??? I'll second the Hitman. Herbie's tube dampeners are in good use in my system. Sometimes a little microphonics can sound good. | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? Stiltskin,Thom can help you with this but there is a slight issue with using an arm with the cable that attaches through the bottom of the arm stand. That is you won't be able to use the big, heavy Stelvio arm board. Not a big deal, just something... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable I found that even rapping the equipment stand hard with my knuckles did not transmit any sound to the speakers.This is another issue that comes up often that I admit I just don't understand. My table is in my finished basement (concrete floor) and... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Hanging the table removes a lot of vibration issues from the equation. As does mass. I don't believe I've missed the point at all. I've owned suspended and non-suspended tables. Some within the same line of manufacturer: Basis Audio. I don't buy i... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Don't worry about the type. With either, pay attention to the implementation. There are good and bad examples in both. | |
| Suggest Table and cartridge for my system Kali77, have you asked Rogue? I'm sure they could give you a recommendation for a phono stage that they know works well with the Tempest and the tables your thinking of using. | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? I have found that for used records what works for me is to give them a good cleaning, play a few times, then give them a light cleaning. Some get a third cleaning. I always use my DIY vacuum RCM. Mine is based on a HOOVER for those keeping score. ... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable Tim, that can happen if the splice is not done correctly. I've heard it myself when a splice began to separate after more than a year of use. When the splice is right there is no thump at all. There is certainly no motor noise transmitted to the p... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable Raul, I understand what you meant. I just can't help but tease you because you thing that Stltrains may need to "upgrade" his new Triplanar and relatively new ZYX Universe. I might agree with you about the phono stage but I'm not familiar with the... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable If you are looking for a sensible quality sound improvement IMHO I think that you can/could do better through a tonearm/cartridge change or through a Phonolinepreamp change.That is in Raul's totally unbiased opinion, of course. :-)Wait 'til you gu... | |
| Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone Well, I was way off. I don't really know how close Alan's recipe is to the Wlaker's. Anyway, with the cap values in Alan's circuit the filtering is way up in the RF range. | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? Hi Stiltskin,I couldn't be happier with Galibier Gavia, which I've had for about 18 months. To make the story short, my decision process lead me to consider both the Teres and Galibier based on value, quality, and speed stability. It was my fortun... | |
| Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone Thanks for the link, ET! | |
| Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone I would think a Zobel would imply some type of impedance correction and I can't see how that could be universally applied. Walker's site mentions "very high frequency electronic noises" and RFI. I'm still guessing that it is a low pass filter up a... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I use a Vector on my Galibier from time to time. Is it better than my Triplanar? Might be with some cartridges. But the Triplanar is much, much more user friendly. I like both arms quite a lot. |
