| What is the "correct" VTA for the Lyra Atlas? Jonathan, Thanks for the suggestion. The arm is a 4 point and I believe the effective mass is 13 grams. I am not using any damping at present, perhaps I should try this as well. The first digital scope was the Dinolite(200X), the most I could achi... | |
| What is the "correct" VTA for the Lyra Atlas? Hey guys I thought I would let you know I finally cracked it. Had to make a perspex stand with parallel lines on it to set my Kuzma tone arm level with the record, and it is amazing. The other methods I tried to set the cartridge level, just didn'... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question It is actually quite simple. Those generic pressure gauges marketed under various brand names have a magnetic (Stainless steel) plate. This is attracted by the cartridge magnet as it gets closer, hence the negative reading. Depending on your cartr... | |
| China's Emotiva buying the Bob Carver LLC? I understand the reasons for your Xenophobia, you have my sympathies and I might add ARGO..... It either sounds good or not irrespective of where it was made?? | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? OPPO 105, spending more on a CD/SACD/DVD-a/Blue ray player is wasted money:) | |
| Modwright Oppo 105 Why would you "modify" the 105? | |
| LPs for a high resolution check? Print through on Shelby Lynne "Just A little Lovin'" at about 1 min 27 secs "This Old World" comes through 3 times before she actually sings it!! | |
| Clearaudio Syncro Power Supply I have recently added a Synchro, the old version (75W), to my Master Solution. They are not made anymore, and occasionally come up second hand. Didn't want the "Smart synchro", as I just hate "wall warts". This is the single output version, I agre... | |
| Tonearms for Clearaudio Master Solution type TNTs Rokokono, just saw this thread, good to see another master solution owner. I am currently using Kuzma 4 point, was easy to mount, just had to get the standard unify arm board hole machined from 30mm to 40mm, and mount it flush with the "locking ri... | |
| Hum from Plasma TV I have the same problem with a Samsung Plasma. It is definitely picking up interference through the tonearm wire. A huge amount of radiation come from the plasma screen, I was wondering if an LED TV would have similar problems? For half the price ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I notice very few, if anyone, is using a test tone and measuring frequency, as a means of setting TT speed. My limited experience is that the KAB disc is pretty insensitive, I have an AC motor and so the KAB disc shows perfect speed, however the 3... | |
| Lyra Kleos: tracking force/VTA/azimuth questions Zachteich, I have been obsessing over the same issues, and have resorted to taking photomicrographs of the needle on the record and analysing angles, and have managed to get advice from several analogue guru's, for which I am extremely grateful. B... | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers Thought I'd add my tuppence, there is so much B&W "hate" in this thread, I thought it needed some "love". It's the tall poppy syndrome. People love to hate the successful, and give the small guy a chance! B&W have economies of scale that o... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Oppo 105, will take a lot to beat this. Can use as a DAC with asynchronous usb connection, connects effortlessly with NAS storage via network, or hard drive directly connected, plays most formats DVD-a, SACD, blue ray. Have just received mine, and... | |
| Setting tonearm angle? I have been looking into this recently, perhaps you should read Michael Fremer's articles on SRA and VTA. I suppose what troubles me is that in order to change the SRA by 1 degree the tonearm (9") needs to move about 4mm, longer arms more! This wo... |
