| Out of production reference turntables Naimfan,Interesting observations.The Rockport seperated instruments better in space. That implies superior reproduction of the time domain. Perhaps due to better speed stability?The Goldmund seperated instruments better in timbre or tonality. That... | |
| VPI Scout or Michell Technodec? Crazy4blues, I suspect that 60db before your line stage will be plenty for a 501, unless you have a VERY low gain line stage.I have a Shelter 901, similar output to a 501 (.1mv more). The 67db of gain I have before my line stage is much more than ... | |
| Out of production reference turntables Silly me. All these long years I thought the tunes were provided by the musicians. They actually come from the turntable! So do I need a different table for each key? Which one should I use if I'm playing Schoenberg or Webern? ;-)I actually apprec... | |
| Has anyone used electronic pocket scales for VTF? Wow, very resourceful. I'm not sure I understand the bearing concept of the new arm. Is it suspended? Resting on the lead(?) button beneath the arm tube? Or...? | |
| Has anyone used electronic pocket scales for VTF? 14" DIY carbon fiber tonearm? Sounds very cool. Have you posted any pics? | |
| Has anyone used electronic pocket scales for VTF? Glad to hear yours isn't magnetic. Mine is so I thought I'd mention it."The tonearm pivoting should not effect the VFT (sic) at various heights." Umm, you'd better check your physics. :) | |
| Has anyone used electronic pocket scales for VTF? I got my MyWeigh MX-50 from saveonscales also. FWIW, it resolves to .01g and thus does detect VTF changes at different heights. It reveals VTF changes from arm height adjustments.Does this matter for listening to music? Not a bit. Except for arm/c... | |
| Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh Alvin? ALVIN!!I appreciate the kind gesture but ebay's an open market. Please bid on whatever you want. Besides, I can always barge into your office and listen to it there.Rather naively perhaps, my ebay handle is, well, the same as my A'gon and V... | |
| Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh Hope you can make it Joe. Say! Let's mount a paper clip on Cello's new Vector when he's not watching! Think he'll notice? It'd serve him right for sniping me on ebay yesterday. Grrr... :-) | |
| RRL Showed up at my door yesterday.... Joe,Your new rack seems similar to the Salamander Archetype or the DIY one on TNT, right? Do you have any ideas for making it more rigid? I've heard the Salmander tends to sway in the breeze, maybe better for a Linn than a Teres.Two arm 340 in red... | |
| Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh Cardiackid,Thanks for the concise review of CB's shootout, I think. Now you've got me lusting after a two-arm 320 to replace my 265. I don't really have space for a 340, but I expect to be seeing/hearing Cello's later this month. I suppose that wi... | |
| RRL Showed up at my door yesterday.... Well, I certainly don't want to become the NEW brush Nazi! ;-) If you've tried both and prefer the Last, fine. I only know that, having tried both the Last brushes and the DD ones, the DD's work substantially better for me.I do still use the Last ... | |
| Anyone tried Herbie's mat on a Rega planar ? There have been several posts about Herbie's mat on Vinyl Asylum in just the last day or two, including a full review by one inmate. Worth checking out if you havn't already seen them. | |
| RRL Showed up at my door yesterday.... Focusedfx,Glad you finally cleaned up your act! Enjoy.You might try carbon fiber brushes while waiting for your DD's. They work nearly as well as the DD's with RRL fluids, and either one is miles ahead of the Last brushes or anything else I've tri... | |
| What type of turntable should I use? Dogcanskate,I don't think Nrchy was contemplating defeating the suspension on his Sota. I agree with you that this would be a brave and, if irreversible, potentially foolish thing to do.I think he was/is contemplating changing to a non-suspended d... |
