| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Mapman, we are entering a new golden era of direct driven turntables! I must say that I liked the ads from Technics/Akai/Sony/Denon very much --> direct drive was for my generation the ultimate in drive technology (Technics SL-1200, Denon DP-60... | |
| Antiskating .... The last analog secret Thank you for referring to the cartridge resonance calculator Nsgarch.Chris | |
| Antiskating .... The last analog secret Could you clarify please if in general more antiskating (or less antiskating) is needed with high VTF (and high tonearm effective mass). I have a SPU Anniversary 85 cartridge with a recommended VTF of 3.5 grams. The tonearm is a Fidelity Research ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, maybe you can tell us the story of how the MC cartridges "won" over the MM cartridges and why in the minds of most vinyl aficionados MC cartridges are superior to the MM's? Are those classic MC cartridges like the Kiseki Lapis Lazuli, variou... | |
| Overhang question Thanks very much Thom.Chris | |
| 10 Levels of Turntable Mastery Is it that difficult to get turntable set up and arm geometry right? I have to confess that it is a bit of a hassle to do, but I think you shouldn't exaggerate it either. Some people are so damn neurotic --> to them it is never right. But this ... | |
| Overhang question Thank you Tobias.Chris | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound TJ, I'll try the NOS tube as you described. Are original Mullard long plates also good (musical) tubes for AA Tube DAC? As far as my knowledge goes the tubes in the AA Tube DAC are NOT in the signal path but are localized in the digital-to-analog ... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound TJ, with all due respect, I think the tube issue with the AA Tube DAC is an important point that needs to be addressed, however you shouldn't overemphasize it either. To be honest, I'm not going to change any tube --> too much hassle for me. I ... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Hi Oregon, I already have a decent vinyl playback system. That's why I'm starting this topic at Audiogon.Chris | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Thanks for referring me to the Stereophile article Rodman. It is certainly true: digital bass is not the same as analog bass. Analog bass is more upbeat and full/warm sounding.Hamburg: I think I don't want to try other tubes for the AA Tube DAC --... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Mapman: MBL 1621 transport - Accustic Arts Tube DAC - Accuphase C-290V preamplifier (with dedicated AD-290V phono unit) - JMF Audio HQS7001B power amplifiers (mono's) - Soundlab A-1 fullrange electrostatics. Turntable: Acoustic Solid with Fidelity... | |
| Overhang question Tobias, I'm using the DB Systems gauge. Does it use Baerwald?Chris | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Eee3: I have used various interconnects and power cords (also expensive ones) but it is not a cable problem. This problem is more complex and I'm afraid cables could not solve this. Shadorne: that is interesting to have both the audiophile vinyl a... | |
| Overhang question Palewin, thank you for your reply. The SPU cartridge is integrated with the head shell, so I can't move the cartridge itself back and forth. There is only one solution in my opinion and that is to adjust the spindle to pivot distance a bit, so the... |
