| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Well, it looks like Harry has jumped on the rim-drive wagon. He seems to be offering the option and down-playing it at the same time. :-Ohttp://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/messages/67/677755.html | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's Good one, Veridian! :)I'm waiting for a report of something similar to that accident in American Pie. :-O | |
| Analog playback issues Does the receiver have phono inputs? If not, that's the problem. | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable No worries, Pauly. My last post should have had a smiley attached since I did mean that as a poke at we who own these subject tables. Myself perhaps being the oddest of the bunch.As for uni-pivots, I don't really mean to come across as having a co... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable Well, that's hard to argue with. It's a well known fact that most of us who have bought Teres/Galibier are not quite right.I think it is important to understand that there is a difference between saying that a low compliance cartridge works on arm... | |
| When cleaning vinyl - what to use for Know what you mean about the Hunt. However, I do use one for newly purchased used lps to LIGHTLY brush off the loose dirt and pet hairs.I also use those cheapy brushes for wetting and spreading the first cleaning solution. I use a foam paint pad w... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option I hope this is ok to post here. I just found this posting by Mark Kelly over on AA related to this topic."The idler drive mechanism has only a few percent of the speed variability inherent in belt drive (due to the lossy transmission eg belt creep... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Me, too. :) But I'd also like to hear that from others as well. | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Dgarretson,That is along the lines of the point I was attempting to make. A given motor speed and torque in the rim drive system may have a range of platter weight that works best with that given motor. Then again, it could be testament to how wel... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Don't forget there is also the benefit of high platter mass to counteract the negative acceleration. It is the weight of that spinning flywheel that stores energy and helps get the car off the line. Too heavy, the car is slower to build rpms. Too ... | |
| How Much Is Too Much? Well. I think that most of the rock we loved in our youth, and I still love a lot of it today, sounds pretty good on the smaller speakers of a car stereo.Now that I've found and am able to afford better equipment that is more resolving I find it p... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable I think the characteristic of the Gavia that pleases me most is how it makes those few less than pristine LPs that I own sound worth listening to. The pops, ticks and crispies are still there but they are more in the background and don't get in th... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable I've owned Basis 1400, 2100 and 2500 tables and still own a Vector tonearm. You really have to move up to at least a 2500 to get proper bass response. If you can find one used that might one way to improve things. The Basis motors are good, but yo... | |
| Boston Vinyl? It's been a year or so since I was at Stereo Jacks but I remember mostly Jazz in his shop. Rushton's suggestion is very good. Ask around, I'm sure there are several stores worth looking into.If you get hungry and you're around Somerville be sure t... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option An interesting question. Maybe Teres will offer up some info. I think that Teres uses a mix of oil and poly as the finish. I don't think the o-ring would wear it off, but it may cause a track to become visible after a while. There is not much pres... |
