| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? "The main reason CD is still around I suspect and has not been replaced has more to do with it being a very good solution than it does with our digital audio technology cannot cut it even these days."This is totally wrong. The reason for no new fo... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Halcro/Dertonam,Thanks guys, I've been interested in buying the Phantom at some stage and there are none here to look at or audition.Dover | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Halcro, Is the Phantom a true unipivot or a dual pivot. When I read Fremers review of the Phantom he says the magneglide mechanism runs on a bearing but is pulled by the arm via magnets, suggesting the magneglide is not physically connected to the... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Al, I used to argue that digital is a sampling of analogue but there are more fundamental issues. It is relatively easy to fill in the gaps using mathematical modelling.The real issue with digital is the Red Book Standard and the use of sine x/x.I... | |
| Speaker cable vibration? I have found the easiest upgrade to many speakers is simply to pull the crossover out of the box. Even without updating capacitors, this generally yields a significant improvement. I assume the sound inside the box has quite a deleterious impact o... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? I have a question _I thought the way the magneglide system worked was that it was magnetically coupled to the arm, such that as the arm moved it followed. In Fremers review he stated there was no mechanical contact between the magneglide system an... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Apologies for last post double up - my mac is playing up. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? The discussion has been great but the original thread was"I am getting a Raven one but will have a choice of the Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza for just $2000 more! Which should I go for? Well I am not sure if Raven one is a good match to this su... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Halcro, Thanks, I was a bit hasty re-reading the initial thread. In retrospect I think you are right. Does add context though, as the question becomes is the Da Vinci worth the extra $2k. I'd buy the Rhodanized Da Vinci if it were me. I would be w... | |

| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Dertonam,Thanks - you raise a good point in terms of "different ideas". I have had in the past many audio customers from Europe, US, UK, Asia as well as Australia & New Zealand. I have noticed that different cultures have different priorities,... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar My experiences with arms are that damping arm tubes smears the sound. I have removed all the damping from many arms both pivoted and tangential tracking and in every case it released significantly more detail, though in some cases a lightened qual... | |

| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dertonam et al,Another problem I have seen many many times is caused by armboards that are not perfectly level and referenced to the platter resulting in vertical bearings off level and the arm running uphill or downhill. Antiskate has been used t... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Hey Raul, I know heaps, I've forgotten heaps and I'm sure there is always opportunity to learn more. What's wrong with thanking someone for putting time and effort into explaining their experiences.By the way with regard to the RIAA curve, since y... |
