| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum Someone will have to prove to me that a cutter head can cut a more complicated groove into vinyl than a modern cartridge can read, given they are normally cut at the same speed they are played. Have there been any definitive tests on that issue?Th... | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited Why in October 2013 after so many many years of analog audio are we discussing... Where is this we? Who's discussing? The latest 25 posts are but vain soliloquoy. This thread might cautiously ask of itself, "To be, or not to be?"Lest some player ... | |
| Artemis/Schroder SA-1? It's mechanical dude. From the motor herself.So noisy motors are female? Hope nobody tells Elizabeth. | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited Raul, you made 15 of the last 20 posts. Are things a little slow down there? ;-) | |
| What Sets Price on Turntables? Czarivey, 355 days later? Really?? Speedy comeback dude!!! | |
| 2013 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Win,Thanks for chiming in. "Someday I'll wish upon a star..." | |
| no looking back Bifwynne,Can you clean a dirty floor just by dry sweeping? ;-)The fluid collected by my Loricraft invariably comes out scuzzy and with lots of sediment, even when cleaning brrand new/never played records.My own cleaning/listening parameters are ov... | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited Heh... I was writing my post while Jonathan was posting his. We're saying the same things, though as usual he says it better and with more authority. | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited If the stylus does not track groove modulations accurately, the resulting signal cannot be an accurate reproduction of the original. No argument there.That said, it's conceivable that the ability to track the Telarc 1812's extreme amplitudes, velo... | |
| no looking back ...is my laziness comprising playback quality and perhaps stylus life if I just dry brush my LPs?1. Whether playing inadequately cleaned records compromises playback quality depends on the resolution of the system and the sensitivity of the listen... | |
| 2013 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet Paul and I heard the original Saskia at RMAF several years ago. It was, hands down, the best turntable we'd ever heard.Glad to see that Win's still going strong and apparently has found ways to improve an already stunning performer.At one time he ... | |
| I need help diagnosing a sibilant problem on vinyl Doug, There's not too many adjustements you can make with Rega arm. Proper alignement, VTA and nothing more to adjust there. Regas aren't the most adjustable arms, but in addition to alignment one can certainly tweak VTF and anti-bias. IME, these ... | |
| I need help diagnosing a sibilant problem on vinyl Btselect,Thanks for asking. For clarity, I didn't mention records that are hard to track. I mentioned records whose HF's (particularly sibilants) are difficult to reproduce cleanly. These are not the same thing, since systems may distort HFs even ... | |
| I need help diagnosing a sibilant problem on vinyl There many possible causes, including but not limited to:- inadequate VTF- sub-optimal anti-bias adjustment- sub-optimal zenith alignment- sub-optimal SRA (VTA) adjustment- overload or shearing distortions in the phono stage- dirty or damaged reco... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Csontos and Peterayers hear exactly what I hear. ***Lewm, sorry we haven't explained this in a way that helps you understand this as a timing issue. Thanks for hanging in there. Of course you're right that the spinning platter controls the timing ... |
