| Capacitors in Cary PH302 phono amp Tobes, I wouldn't lose too much sleep. My Marantz 7 still uses the original MIT caps I put in 10 years ago and it has seen off my ARC and Jadis preamps quite handily. The 3 caps you mention are all well regarded, what I know from experience is tha... | |
| Forsell Air Reference II Protractor Hi I owned an ET for many years. You can make one yourself easily because all you need is a straight line from the centre of the spindle parallel to the "bearing tube". Apart from the set up jig for the ET which gave you the distance to mount the ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dev - that's what forums are for, my turntable inclusion in the post was to provide context to my ( subjective ) opinion. I have no interest in plugging it, my turntable is not for sale. I have no interest in SME other than I believe it is the bes... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Dev, I owned an Oracle, own a 301, and heard the SME. Actually I was being kind - I KNOW the SME is in a different league to the Oracle. It is not a plug for my turntable - I dont own an SME if you read my post properly. | |
| Capacitors in Cary PH302 phono amp Tobes, My experience with the original MIT caps you have are they are better than the older Hovland & Auricaps which are vague and murky - so I wouldn't go back to original. The RTX are very good, but word of warning, used in speaker crossover... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Mauidj - Despite a late rally for the Oracle by some, I've owned an Oracle with Zeta/Koetsu/custom power supply - loved it, but as soon as you put a piano piece on the wow became unlistenable. I think the SME 20/3 is in a different league. Buy the... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? Initially I liked the more positive attitude of the new judges, but ultimately I think they did the more talented singers a disservice because they were too easy on poor performances and in some cases more critical of the more talented singers tha... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Mauidj - I would go for the 20/3 as it will give you a wider choice of arms/cartridges. Check out the improvements to the 20/3 as they may not be in the 20/12 yet. I think the extra money spent on arm/cartridge for the 20/3 will give you a better ... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Have a look at the Tom Evans Vibe - from what I recall this is a very organic sounding solid state preamp. Reviewed in Absolute Sounds Mag a few years ago. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 SME IV bearings- not sure when they changed to the same as the V but read it in a recent review ( possibly a review of the 20/3). I suspect it is relatively recent, but check with SME directly. Their aftermarket service support is excellent. If I ... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Agree with Syntax, SME will be around forever to service this ( their main business is military equipment ), and with the new power supply/thicker chassis etc this is the bargain of the SME line. In many ways the SME IV is a better arm now that it... | |
| Flip flopped orchestra? To compound the issue some conductors in the old days moved the instruments around based on hall acoustics. eg Stokowski was well known to swap orchestra sections such as brass from one side to the other in some concert halls. | |
| Motor Controller ugrade for Raven One Turntable Hi all,Just a reminder that if the Raven 1 retails for US$6000, then it must be costing around US$1200 maximum to manufacture. Freight plus distributor margin and retail margin. Half the US1200 is probably overheads and labour. What can you person... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Ct0507With a centre weight you get rid of the lifting record edges by optimising the thickness of the washer under the record. When you get the right thickness of the washer you can get the records flat around the perimeter. | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak On your direct drive you might want to consider the impact of added weights and peripheral clamps as it may be negatively impacting the servos which have been designed for the original mass of the original platter.On my Final Audio Parthenon it us... |
