| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long "Just a simple use of basic materials, properly applied."Twl comes out of hiding, and then tries to hide behind himself with a masterpiece of understatement. Nice try Tom but I'm not buying it!In addition to a HIFI-modded OL Silver, I've heard my ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi guys, and sorry to Twl for the OT. I bought my RSR fully assembled from SoundFountain. I believe Rudolph's taking pre-orders for another batch. My only niggle is that the edge was a bit rough. This doesn't affect functionality, it just doesn't ... | |
| Is the Teres a David,I hope you're right (about PRaT in the context of a TT review). But I see the term bandied about so often by fans of colored TT's, arms and cartridges that it always makes me wary. Clearly one man's PRaT is another man's PRiSoN! | |
| Is the Teres a Thom,That would be one wild shootout. Say, how about a SW Audio Fest? Maybe in Tombstone? I hear they have a corral that's supposed to be okay, even if things get as messy as NGeorge hopes!You make an excellent point about the futility of trying t... | |
| Is the Teres a Hi NGeorge,I'll suspend the Teres love fest (temporarily of course!) and address a couple of your followup questions/points:---"What I'm saying is that it would be great for the everyday guy (who's part audiophile, part insecure audio geek and par... | |
| Is the Teres a 1. Teres has a 4-6 month backlog with no letdown in sight. 2. AFAIK, CB has expressed no interest in altering his vision for Teres. He prefers an activity level he can manage as an enthusiast. Running Teres is not his job, it's his hobby.Unless on... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi Tom,A few months back someone on VA tried to compare a 103R and a Shure V15xMR on a HIFI-modded RB250. Not surprisingly, the Shure came a poor second. I told him he'd have to remove the Mod or remove the Shure. ;-)He apparently was under the im... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Hi Kurt,We must have posted almost simultaneously. Yours wasn't there when I was writing.Great minds thinking alike perhaps? Naw, we even missed the entrance exam!Doug | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Would it also make sense to clean some records with Paul's formulas first, listen to them, then re-clean with RRL and listen again? You might learn if the benefits change or if they're due to double cleaning vs. particular solutions.Just some sugg... | |
| Classic Record RCA 45 rpm reissues - Which? Rushton,I completely concur with your assessments of those 33rpm issues, both good and bad. Thank you for the good news about the 45's, even if it means my budget is in for bad news. Once again I'm inspired to say, "I hate this place"! | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Sorta like Mhubbard,On good weather days: 2004 Mazda RX-8, Zoom-Zoom!On bad weather days and for trips to Home Depot:1993 Jeep Cherokee, Putt-Putt! | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Jjmali,As you can see, Mr. Frumkin himself is open to suggestions and ideas from others, and has just explained some of his safety testing in response to Sean. If the thread starter is willing to respond constructively then by definition the post ... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Sean,Thanks for a well reasoned addition to a thread that has gotten a bit heated, unfortunately.The protocol you advise seems like a prudent one. It offers the possibility of sample-testing the safety as well as the efficacy of Paul's solutions o... | |
| RB300 VTA adjustment on Nottingham Horizon I've seen the Teres VTA adjuster on Cello's table with a Basis Vector. It's well made and operates very smoothly. CB should know whether it could be used on a Horizon.The only niggle is that the knob you turn to adjust arm height is beneath the ar... | |
| VPI Motor Upgrade Kit Toddwj,The Teres motor controller circuit is unique (AFAIK) because it maintains the speed of the platter (NOT the motor) at exactly 33 or 45rpm. To do that, of course, the controller needs to know how fast the platter is spinning. A strobe disc o... |
