| How many sealed LP's do you have? I'm working up my nerve to break the cellophane on a sealed copy of Solti's 'Ring'. My present copy is in good shape except for a few tics and pops, so I grabbed the sealed set when it showed up. Just staring at that huge box and noting the four s... | |
| Advice/feedback needed on Morch UP4 setup Ditto on the saveonscales.com recommendation. Also ebay. You can get a .01g digital scale for well under $100. This has been recommended many times here.The only hitch is that you have to DIY some kind of platform to drop the stylus on, in order t... | |
| Teres 265 or 320 vs. Sota Cosmos I mean "on" a TriPlanar VII. Sorry for the typo. | |
| Teres 265 or 320 vs. Sota Cosmos Raul,Which ZYX models have you heard a TriPlanar VII? | |
| Samsung DLP - best choice for the Money Hi Larry,I second everything posted by Bruceomega, and for that matter by all the others above. We were an early DLP adopter. Our Samsung HLM437W actually came off the first boatload to reach these shores, before the first ever TVA power buy on av... | |
| Advice/feedback needed on Morch UP4 setup Hi Wdt,The UP-4 is a unipivot, which means the the arm is supported entirely on a single, sharp point resting in a small cup (or possibly the reverse). There is no lateral support of any kind. That would defeat the intention of the design, which i... | |
| Teres 265 or 320 vs. Sota Cosmos Nate,I can't say anything about a SOTA, but we recently upgraded from our Teres 265 to a 320. The performance improvement was far larger than the cost difference. This was one of the most dramatic upgrades we've done. If you decide in favor of Ter... | |
| The Schroeder has arrived ^^^What Raul said. | |
| Mr Clean Eraser for Stylus Cleaning You go first! ;-) | |
| Newbie needs some cart advice for a SME V/Dyn P75 My take on the Koetsu house sound is very similar to Raul's, but perhaps even more critical. Personally I find even the RSP annoying. I haven't heard a Jade or Onyx either, and if my money's involved I'm not likely to! ;-) It's an acquired taste p... | |
| The Schroeder has arrived Frank,A friend with much experience with the Denon 103 family believes the 5cu spec is for vertical compliance only. His measurements indicate a lateral compliance of about 10cu, much closer to the mainstream of cartrdiges. Does that tally with yo... | |
| TriPlanar Tips 10. Try to stabilize (beef up) the arm rest - maybe some damping clay ?? I wonder if this will have any effect ... could be negative for all I know. One way to find out.Frank suggested I cut mine off and mount an armrest directly on the armboard. ... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Good points Thom.Keeping the VTA tower grub screw tight is indeed essential except when actually adjusting arm height. Random variations in spindle-to-pivot dimension would be pretty tough to work with!Also, when aligning a cartridge or measuring ... | |
| Fine tuning: Airy3 on DPS Divo,If you're running into a high gain phono stage (no transformers) then IME 100 ohms is ABOUT right. Every system is unique however. In one (slightly bright) system an Airy 3 wanted something a bit lower than that. I haven't heard one in any sy... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Albert, that must have been Paul.I hang out at J.C. Pen-NAY in a black shirt, and pink running shorts of course. ;~) |
