| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 Interesting - I don't profess to know much about AnalogMagik, but a cursory look raises a few issues that I think could be cause for concern - AudioMagik believes the optimal gain level is the one which yields the highest Signal to Noise ratio."... | |
| Anyone Bi-Amping Tannoy Westminster GR’s? No, but I have experimented with Canterbury SE's - Tried the following configurations - Single amps single wired Single amps bi-wired Identical amps passively bi-amped Best by miles was single amp/single wire. Bi-wiring and passive bi-amping ... | |
| Will rebuilt Quad ESL 57s take the place on a great $30K dynamic speaker? My best result with Quad 57's was as follows - Remove steel grils Put them on stands about 18" off the floor Tilt the panels up to more vertical and angle in slightly Amps - tried a few best by miles was Quicksiver 8417's - could go loud with... | |
| How do you organize all this turntable paraphernalia?? @noromance I only own the TT. Cant afford the speakers. | |
| How do you organize all this turntable paraphernalia?? @mijostyn No just an all wheel drive Subaru - its great on wet roads. I use to have the original Audi Quattro Turbo Coupe & S3 - can't go back to 2 wheel drive. Nobody on this forum will ever understand how good my TT is because there was ... | |
| How do you organize all this turntable paraphernalia?? I have mirrors, record clamps, stylus brushes, record anti-static and multiple headshells/cartridges, level, screwdriver, tweezers etc. I also wouldn't mind having a rack to display what is currently playing. You should count yourself lucky - m... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm @pindac I own many classic/vntage arms as well as modern, some modified. The main issue with classic arms such as the FR64S/SME3012R most of the Micro Seiki arms and SAEC arms, and others of that era that are now popular are the non offset bear... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm You don’t like Technics but other than the AT 1100 has the lower friction bearing levels that any non-unipivot tonearm and not even a bat can hear that " rattling " you are talking about . I never said I disliked the Technics. but I would not u... | |
| Micro-Seiki RX-5000 platter question @hifiguys Sounds good. Platter mats are always a subject of debate. I keep on hand Micro 180, Final Audio ( 4.5kg chrome copper ), Goldmund Methacrelate/Clamp, SAEC 300, Seisin and a few others. I keep them all because really the "best" mat ca... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm I already said twice: an unipivot characteristic is its aliveness that in reality is higher distortion, you can’t do nothing about. This is hilarious - the funniest comment I've seen this year. Of course most cartridges have a cantilever that... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm At the end is an unipivot design and all kind of developed distortions pass trhough the pivot trhough one single " point " with no real opportunity to dissipates it and the developed feedback pass trough that single " point " when in a gimball th... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @newtoncr I have a lot of tube gear - tubes themselves are a near perfect antenna. I would be surprised if the magnetic platter caused noise - more likely to distort low level signals - if you could even hear it. You could put a metal plate (no... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @newtoncr I had a Platine Verdier - the magnetic fields are vertical from memory and contained - so as long as the RTR is off to the side ( not above or below ) there should be no issue. Having said that I rebuilt a Garrard 301 which outperfor... | |
| My Sonic Labs cartridges @yeti42 I'm glad you posted this - There is a metallic colouration in their demo room which I thought was the Thrax speakers and it was at its least intrusive with the Dohmann. I’ve since heard Stenheim speakers in the same room with Thrax and... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm @lewm Primary Control also produce a version of the FCL arm with permanent magnets - the Gravity - at a lower price point. With regard to the Phantom - I chose the Naim Aro over it many years ago for several reasons - The Phantom unipivot bear... |
