| cartridge allignment/test record Gboren, Have you tried adjusting azimuth? It sounds like your cartridge may be similar to mine: built at an angle that makes attaining minimal crosstalk imposible. I can't get crosstalk down without setting the cartridge at such an angle that the ... | |
| How do you clean your type of stylus? Wow, maybe I cornered the market! $75 apiece + S/H!!! | |
| Help with a complete vinyl setup about $2,500 Cool. If you order the HIFI Mod weights from Twl you'll also be able to add my VTF-on-the-fly mod. It's way better than futzing with the counterweight and best of all... it's free!http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1074206586&re... | |
| Rhea and tube noise....???? I read somewhere (probably here) that early Rhea's had some kind of problem that caused tube rush to be louder than later Rhea's. I think it's something they can fix. I'd contact Jim White. | |
| Denon, Shelter arm choices Joe,I'll third the descriptions and kudo's for the 901. If neutrality, transparency, detail, harmonic integrity, speed, physical presence and endless extension at both ends interest you, this cartridge has all of it. It's alive yet non-fatiguing a... | |
| Help with a complete vinyl setup about $2,500 Damien,If you were going to blow the budget why didn't you say so? We could have recommended a wood base Teres from the get-go! ;-)You're in for a treat, that looks like a fine setup to me. There was a post just last week from a new Teres 160 owne... | |
| How do you clean your type of stylus? Joe,I could mail you one if you want. I have a couple spares. Let me know if you want me to.Doug | |
| How do you clean your type of stylus? Correction to previous post. Here's a link to the thread I referenced.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1079733653&openusid&zzDougdeacon&4&5#Dougdeacon | |
| How do you clean your type of stylus? IME LP#9 works much better than the jelly domes. You have to be sure a liquid cleaner is safe for your cartridge however. A few manufacturers like ZYX recommend against them, fearing liquid may wick up their hollow cantilevers and harm the suspens... | |
| Origin/Rega VTA adjuster? I don't use the toothed washer myself. As long as the nut holds okay you're fine without it.Don't overtighten the nut BTW. Hand tight or a pinch more is plenty. I agree it's pretty unwieldy. | |
| NOn Audiophile Review of the Teres 160 Amandarae,I heard he actually ordered a 150 and then pulled a little nighttime platter swap. ;) I'd count those lead shot pellets every day if I were you! | |
| NOn Audiophile Review of the Teres 160 Patrick, Not to worry, tape hiss is quite properly audible on a Teres (mine anyway). I agree it would be a pretty poor rig that masked that.I expect Docjr8156 is right. Many of my records have a few unmodulated grooves between tracks. I can easily... | |
| NOn Audiophile Review of the Teres 160 John,I saw your post on VA first and responded there. Like Joe says, welcome and enjoy! | |
| Which High Output Moving Coil Cartridge Speaking in general terms, no high output MC (meaning 2mv or above) is going to compare with an MC in the .5mv or below range. Going to a HOMC would be a sonic downgrade. You'd be better off doing what Jmcgrogan2 suggested, and/or adding a stepup ... | |
| Wow...what a record Raytheprinter,If you want to go Heifetz-crazy, buy the Classic Records Heifetz box. Nine 200gm LP's, all Heifetz, all the time! |
