| Tracking error or ?? @scar972 I doubt it is the record. The other records i played that night were all fine, but this LP has more dynamics and modulations in the groove than those. While the record could be damaged now, I don't think it was before I played it that n... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @boothroyd Some good suggestions there. This is probably a time when it would pay to have two turntable set ups. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rossb I think that is a good suggestion. I would like to have an arm with more adjustment than the PU7, but I would certainly not discount the PU7. Did you have the Kuzma 4 point 9? If so, was it on the LP12? | |
| Tracking error or ?? @imhififan A worn out track would definitely be a culprit, but I think in my case this is not the situation. I have heard a very small amount of distortion on a few other highly dynamic and highly modulated tracks. Always in the right channel, w... | |
| New power tubes lacking low end and slam I think you have an integrated? If so, you probably have driver tubes for the amp section and signal tubes for the preamp. This should be addressed in the manual. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @tomic601 Wearing out the Kleos is not really part of my plan. I have considered jumping ship on the Linn, simply due to its severely hobbled tonearm scenario, but i still like the basic platform. ( plus, with the new Karousel bearing, it sounds ... | |
| New power tubes lacking low end and slam You may want to check your driver tubes. I replaced these recently and the difference in low end slam was considerable. | |
| Tracking error or ?? @rauliruegas While I know that the 4 Point is not exactly a uni pivot, and does attempt to do away with the issue of 'rotating on the point' that afflicts the true uni pivot design, I think it has much more in common with a uni pivot than a gimba... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @tomic601 Thanks for the post. I haven't had a chance to try the table yet, but I have increased the AS a little. There is no exactitude to the arm adjustments, so it is probably a little bit of trial and error. I do question whether Mijostyn's p... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @mijostyn I'm not following you with regards to your point about the WTA having added mass?The WTA is one of the lightest tonearms around, so light that I can use it with no issues even on my LP12, without disturbing its ultra sensitive suspensio... | |
| Tracking error or ?? @mijostyn Interesting that you believe the WTA is not a good arm. Yes, it does have characteristics of a uni pivot, but it also has zero bearing noise or 'pivot chatter'. I do think that there are certainly better arms out there, but would like t... | |
| Tracking error or ?? Actually in the right channel. Tonearm is a well tempered ‘black’ arm. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW I’m of the opposite opinion. IMO the current batch of Wilson speakers are the best that I have heard, and I have heard most of them throughout the years. The new silk dome tweeter is a MAJOR improvement over the older Focal titanium tweeter of yor... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina X Reviewed ! WOW I heard the Sabrina X's a few weeks ago. It is a significant upgrade over the prior model. However, I think it will need an amp with some serious current capability upstream. The amp I heard with the pairing was an ok match, but I could tell that ... | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) OP, if you can source locally a SLI1 ref I would check that out. I have owned CAT preamps for many years, IMHO there really is nothing better in tube preamp land. |
