| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hi Artar1,From your cartridge lists I've only heard the Shelter 901, which I own, so I'll spare you any guesses. I will offer this however: add a ZYX cartridge to your second list. An R100 Fuji ($2k list) will thoroughly outclass a Shelter 901, pa... | |
| Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh I'd wait for the 400-3. | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide "You should have a few records on which to test these products right now!"Do I ever! Damn things will probably take me weeks and a whole roll of thread for the RCM. I'm thinking Brillo pads. ;-)"Depends on the definition of dirty. I suppose you re... | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide David,Fair question.The known safety and purity of RRL will keep it our primary solution, for now and possibly forever. If RRL cleans a record thoroughly then that record never sees anything else. I'd guess that's about 80% of the records we clean... | |
| RRL Cleaner, Vinyl Zyme, and Groove Glide I'm with Dan_Ed. I'm going to try AIVS of course, but I'll probably always use RRL as the final step. I *know* it won't leave anything on my records.Joe, when you get the Wally (should be today/tomorrow they said), feel free to put some RRL in the... | |
| Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh Hi Cousinbillyl,You say you already have an Airy, so you're familiar with its sound? If you can say what direction you'd like to move it would help in choosing a second cartridge. It would also help to know what your second arm will be.I second La... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm sirspeedy,It might be viable to shortlist a few cables based on others' feedback and demo them on your 2.2 to find the one you prefer. The Graham's armtube wire will certainly have some effect, but you should still be able to hear the differences ... | |
| More classical strings.... awesome stuff Thanks for the tips. Try to find Beethoven's Quartets by the Amadeus Quartet on DGG. Tulips if you can, magnificent tone and presence.They're usually seen in three boxed sets, one for the Op. 18's, one for the middle quartets, one for the late qua... | |
| Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount? Great thread folks, but Larry's out of luck. Strange as it seems, I have his syringe of blue juice here in CT. It makes me feel so good I'm keeping it! Bwahahahaha...BTW, there's about 1.9cc left in the syringe. Maybe 4yanx or sirspeedy can guess ... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm Gosh! I guess He's calling Himself Raul these days.Kyrie eleison,Raul eleison! | |
| motor replacement dilema The Teres motor controller will only work if you can:- affix the strobe disk to the underside of your platter- place the strobe sensor directly beneath the disc, with 1-2mm clearance, and run the sensor wire out to the motor unitThis typically req... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm Cmk,Shroeder: superbly musical and relaxedTriPlanar: musical and superbly detailedSeems like a good summary of what I heard.Thomasheisig,It's certainly possible the Schroeder may roll off HF's more than the Graham. Not quite like a Koetsu's smooth... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm I've heard the Schroeder Reference, Graham 2.2 and Basis Vector:- all on the same TT (Teres 340-2)- same cartridges (Koetsu RSP, Koetsu Urushi, Shelter 901)- same system, same weekend, same beer or wine, etc.The Schroeder was simply in another lea... | |
| Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh You are in for a treat. Enjoy! | |
