| Replacing LP12 arm with Well Tempered Simplex Arm I run a custom WTA ‘Black’ arm on my LP12 Radikal D...sounds great! It is no easy task to set up, but once set up it stays that way. The benefit about the WTA is the very light weight which works well with the Linn suspension. Look at my profile t... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! @rauliruegas Thanks for that link, very informative. What is extremely interesting, is that whatever 317x is, it seems to have a life long effect on the LP, and IMO, one that is actually beneficial. I wonder how long Gruv Glide actually works for? | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! I had not cleaned this particular album recently ( I had vacuum cleaned it before a few months back), and it went through the same playing ritual as all of the other albums on the table last night. I do think the formula that was described as ‘Mir... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @mozartfan Your journey does seem to be one of frustration. Just remember to tell the next owner of your Defy of all of the mods that you have done..they should be interested in that. ;0) | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc Once again, from your description of what you feel is still missing from your Jadis/Sony matchup, IMO you are still hearing a classic amp/speaker mismatch. The Jadis JA30Mk2 has plenty of slam and power with the right speaker. Will the J... | |
| Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible? I dont think a blanket statement like ALL Class D amps are junk really holds much water. BUT, having said that I do agree with the OP that there does seem to be a significant point that he has...and that is that there are reviewer's who seem to fa... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc Color me confused. In one post you state that your JA30mk2 was not a good match to your Sony SS Ar1’s...which I can well believe as the Sony’s have a fairly nasty impedance dip at certain frequencies, now you state that the match was good... | |
| The Linn Karousel bearing. Like most great upgrades, the longer one listens, the more one hears. The Karousel bearing is no exception. Like zavato states above, if you can swing the cost, it should be on your very short list of things to do for your LP12. It is interesting ... | |
| Is this possible? @tablejockey Great assumption, as this is the preamp that he is using, and sure enough, he was unaware of the MM input! Runs the SUT into the MM input...:0) I was seriously thinking that I needed to go back to analog school...not yet, I guess. | |
| Is this possible? Ralph, that is what my impression was. So, I have asked my friend to clarify. He uses a Koetsu Blue Lace Platinum and If I remember a Air Tight SUT, which runs into his Air Tight line stage preamp...but I will confirm. | |
| Audio Research Sold One of the potential issues for all high end buyers in this market is the ongoing viability of the company/manufacturer that they are investing in. Many (most?) of the high end audio companies are really just small potatoes when it comes to produ... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout The shape of the cartridge body should have nothing to do with the tracking of warps or the tracking in general, IF the set up of the tonearm is correct along with the cartridge/tonearm compliance etc, IME. | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Maybe I missed something, but please explain how the shape of a cartridge body has anything to do with its tracking ability? | |
| Chasing down the problem @mijostyn I was wondering about that...how long the repair will last. So far, so good. These toggle switches are still available and I have bought several replacements if needed. It is no easy task to replace them and my tech feels it would be a ... | |
| Subwoofer failure Never had a driver fail in a sub, usually it is the amp module that gives up the ghost. I have had this problem with several of my prior Subs. |
