| Teres Verus Rim Drive Motor with Pro-ject RM10 Dave,We tried the Verus when it first came out and I reported our results in various posts, mostly on this thread . That report reads like a pan but it was never intended as such. Before reading it please consider the following...On topics like t... | |
| Teres Verus Rim Drive Motor with Pro-ject RM10 We had no trouble setting the best speed during our Verus trial. It was straightforward and should rarely need readjustment.I've heard the RM10 with the standard motor and Speedbox SE. I expect a Verus would provide a significant upgrade. | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? Chasmal wrote, a couple posts above: "I think you will come to love it as part of the richness of the instrument once the weirdness plays out for you."GREAT POINT!We've consciously trained ourselves to be aware of that sensation of weirdness and o... | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? Great responses by all above, and a useful reminder from Shadorne on the wrongheaded desire for system "warmth", etc. People hear system problems and try to smother them with warm sonic blankies, instead of identifying and removing the problem. I'... | |
| Lyra Titan i and Olympos SL The Titan i is one of the three most neutral and uncolored cartridges I've heard, perhaps the tiniest bit on the cool side - but put the emphasis on "tiny". A hundred other things in a system might conceal or counterbalance that. It's a neutral ca... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Chasmal,How long are you letting the MoFI enzyme solution sit and work in the grooves? Most LP's need at least 4 minutes of soaking, enough fluid to not dry out and occasional brushing to distribute fresh fluid around. Longer than 4 minutes wouldn... | |
| Thoughts on cartridge loading with a SUT. Dave,Welcome to the fray and thanks for a fascinating first post. Anyone who uses SUT's should pay very close attention, since their system performance will certainly depend on optimizing loading. Your explanation of the complexities of getting it... | |
| What is your cartridge and tracking force used ZYX UNIverse on TriPlanar VIIRecommended: 1.70-2.20gUseable range: currently 1.45-1.60g (subject to change, see below)Sweet zone: varies with weather and is always very narrow, just .01g wide or so, we fine tune daily and sometimes per each LP, by... | |
| Preference for separate phono stages? Dan and I have directly A/B'd his four chassis Doshi Alaap (phono power supplies, phono circuits, line power supplies, line circuits) with my two chassis one (power supplies, integrated phono+line circuits). Of course the Alaap's phono and line st... | |
| Zero Stat Gun As Dan_Ed, Dcstep and I have all suggested, your snap, crackle and pop problem is very unlikely to be caused by static.Want to prove it? Just do what Dcstep said: zap them with the Zerostat until the hairs on the back of your arm don't stand up wh... | |
| Zero Stat Gun For a Zero-stat "how to", do what Cerrot said. Use it when you need to and squeeze slowly. If you hear/feel clicking you're squeezing too fast and it won't work.As for your report of hearing "static" during play, you're not. Frequent or constant s... | |
| Teres Composite Platter, etc. Outlier,I believe you mis-heard, probably due to all that annoying music that kept interupting conversations at RMAF.What Teres has stopped making are acrylic, acrylic/lead and wood platters, except (perhaps) for the 4xx series Certus models. The ... | |
| Technics SL1200: Baerwald or 1200 white gauge? Winegasman,The "zenith" angle of a cantilever means the direction the cantilever points when viewed from the zenith, i.e., from directly overhead looking downward.Of course one can't actually adjust zenith this way (though it would be optimal) for... | |
| How do you level your turntable? Piedpiper's right. 1. Level the TT stand2. Level the platter top surface3. Adjust the tonearm mounting so that its bearings are level. This is easier on some arms than others of course.Levelling the headshell is a good place to start, but whether ... | |
| ZYX R 1000 Sigma X - thoughts, comments, reviews Heh. I actually advised Mark NOT to upgrade to an Airy 3, since I thought (and still think) that it's overkill for his table and arm. But he ignored me and he's happy. Cogito, ergo erro!Doug |
