| How Do You Measure VTF? I just did it both ways w. AS on or off. The difference is 0.01-0.02 of a gram. I always establish VTF at record height. I also feel setting VTF by ear to be the ultimate determination. | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms Try comparing a Koetsu w. a Van den Hull. Then finding the right tonearm for each. They both have an extremely enjoyable and very different sound. Although in todays market there are some cartridges that tend to have incredible balance, sometimes ... | |
| Is RAVEN TABLE that good over sme or Walker? I don't understand you question. I haven't compared it to SME or Walker but it does have tons of PRAT. That is for sure. What is the question re: Vibraplane? | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 Blowen tweeters? Give him a break. Check w. your dealer. It should be a simple resistor switch. Fast & painless. You need to purchase the resistors from Wilson. If you really are blowing tweeters, I never have. I like to play loud. If I hear strain I turn it d... | |
| DaVinci Tonearm Karl-Heinz,I understand you opinion but from my experience there is no absolute. No 2 cartridges are 100% the same and in addition different arms will react differently with different cartridges. Thomas' ZYX was much better in my SQ while my ZYX i... | |
| DaVinci Tonearm I doubt the comparison with the Triplanar can be valid if the Dynavector is not broken in. It takes time to break in & changes constantly during the break in process. In addition the breakin takes 100 hours or more. Last, you will need to keep... | |
| Armboard material of choice. I have been told acrylic/plexi etc for unipivot arms and brass for gimballed or other arms. I would suggest with you table to try a few. The entire analogue chain is about synergy and you will need to experiment to get different listening biases f... | |
| Any experience with the Audio Research PH7? A lot of the new moving coils are higher output and will work well. However the Koetsu Platinums' the ZYX Universe and some other great catridges will not work well. | |
| Any experience with the Audio Research PH7? The PH7 might not have enough gain for most low output MCs. | |
| I could not believe it Sorlowski,I am not recommending to "roll" tubes. They simply get old & begin to loose definition & sound murky. I retubed mine (now sold) many years ago to a great positive effect. A friend changed the tubes for me. It wasn't so difficult ... | |
| I could not believe it Change the tubes on your Audio Aero Capitole. I bet that is a big part of the problem. It makes a huge difference. Vinyl should be better but not that much better. The congestion sounds like the tubes are going bad. I went through that. Oh, still ... | |
| What Cartridge & Armwand on your Schroder AudioFeil InternationalIn the Ikeda my resonance is between 9 & 10 Hz. Frank,Thank you. The IO-J is too much but the 47Labs-Miyabi is tempting. What does anyone know about the Airtight Cartridge? | |
| What Cartridge & Armwand on your Schroder I tried the ZYX but it is happier in an arm of much higher mass (Ikeda w. 35 gms), the Shroder Grenadil is 18 gms. I am thinking of something to contrast the ZYX. | |
| What Cartridge & Armwand on your Schroder I am giving it another shot. If a Kuzma airline gets so many answers why not a Schroder? I have a Grenadil armwand on mine. Not sure which cartridge to try next. | |
| Cartridge mounting on graham phantom I used a spacer for my Koetsu as well, but w. a SME V. |
