| Top turntables? There are some excellent turntables out there? One of the things that I have learned is that the difference between the great ones and the not so grate ones is how much of the complete package they are. I remember the Simon Yorke. A truly great ta... | |
| ZYX Live18 and the RS Labs Headshells Yes I have. The ZYX Live 18. It was used on my Ikeda 407. I have also used a Dynavector headshell, an original Ikeda headshell, and finally a Yamamoto Ebony Headshell. The ZYX was my favorite for fit, and sound when I did the comparison. It is sub... | |
| Raven One There is a alternate version of the Raven One. It comes with a stand alone motor and a dual arm-board. Basically many of the advantages of the Raven AC at a lower price point. If you need to stretch for the Raven and just can't make it and want 2 ... | |
| Is a Koetsu Rosewood Sig Overkill for my JMW 9Sig? Shane,I love it. The Schroder ZYX combination is fabulous. The table jumped up a huge step getting good isolation. My floor is a little bouncy although it is concrete. I honestly find it hard to believe the Walker or the Caliburn are significantly... | |
| Is a Koetsu Rosewood Sig Overkill for my JMW 9Sig? Shane,I listened to Raul on this one & put my Jade on the Ikeda. What an amazing combination. The "softness" & lack of bass that some state is completely reversed. I have a ZYX Universe & Jade. Honestly they are closer than anyone can ... | |
| Vibraplane vs. Minus k for Turntables 100% effective means that it prevents any footfalls, subwoofer feedback from effecting the sound. In the past my subwoofer - which is close to the turntable (6 feet) would cause the turntable to skip. This is on concrete floor. Also if I jumped or... | |
| Vibraplane vs. Minus k for Turntables I am using the Promethean Base. 100% effective. Brings the resonant frequency to below 2 HZ which is more than enough. You wont' easily hear a difference w more. Last of all, it is much less expensive than either. Negatives, not a convenient to us... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar The ZYX Universe has very extended treble response. More than most cartridges. This is a good thing but on some LPs can be excesive & bright. In addition, it can be excited on some arms depending on VTA and VTF. If you feel I should readjust V... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar The ZYX can have a ringy tone in many arms. It is not that the arm is bad. It is that the match is bad. | |
| Record weights, mats & dust covers? No dustcover, just canned air or a photography bomb. The best mat so far in my experience is the Living Voice. Just slightly different from the platter. I wouldn't say it is better than the platter just more aestheticly pleasing. Maybe a touch les... | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons Rick,I am good friends w. Thomas the owner of TW Acustic. He came to visit me in Aruba. He has a Breitling from my store. I guess TW owners own Breitlings as well. I am wearing the Breitling for Bentley Mark VI with blue dial these days. | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons Congratulations! Save the Universe for the Schroder and blow your mind. I wish you could hear what I have going on to know how happy I am. I have a choice of either front row (Jade) or in the middle of it all (Univ). Carlos Santana seems to be han... | |
| Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3 I suggest all try extra mass while breaking in cartridges. It makes a big difference. | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons Gladstone,Is the Continuum that good a turntable? Is the Walker? Have there been no turntables that approach what they do?? Are they so far ahead of other turntables to make a great former design sound broken? I would suggest Albert Porter chime i... | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons Rwd,I was listening to a Nottingham Hyperspace w. a SME V. I used a Koetsu Urushi with the Groove and a VdH Condor w. a custom phono stage. An excellent table at its price point in its time. Once the Urushi broke in there was magic that made me st... |
