| Best tonearm for London Reference Cartridge I have set up around 20 Decca's over the years, mostly Garrott modified Decca's.Best arm I've heard was with the Zeta, but can confirm the Decca works well in the Dynavector arms. I heard a Dynavector 501/Decca with Futterman OTL's & Stax elec... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Audiofun,I do agree with you on the need to take care on modifications to collectible equipment.When Technics SP10 owners are contemplating the krebsupgrade they should be aware that there are legal exclusions of liability for any breakages incurr... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Lewm,Any movement in the arm pillar is not a glitch and is certainly more than an annoyance. The sideways movement, whether he means rotational or horizontal, it means that the arm pillar is not secure will result in smearing and loss of informati... | |
| How good is the Oppo 105 as a DAC? I have compared the Oppo 105 to the Cambridge 840 in a system comprising Air Tight ATC2/ATM3 mono's/Tannoy Canterbury HE, all wired with Oracle/Ref MIT.The Oppo is very smooth and pleasant to listen to but the Cambridge 840 is far more resolving a... | |
| SME 20/2 w SME V arm- Cartridge recommendations Trialled on SME 20/V - Dynavector Nova 13D, Koetsu Rosewood, Lyra HeliconIn my view you are best to choose from Lyra, Sumiko, Air tight or Dynavector.

| What benefits to expect from tonearm upgrade in my experience a change of cartridge to a better one, brings greater rewards than a change of arms.This is not correct. I owned a high end store before digital and have owned, sold, set up a huge array of TT's and arms including Sota, Linn, Pink... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Richardkrebs, Thank you for your suggestion. I have been well acquainted with the Verdier for over 20 years from the original Granito to the current model.

| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Harold - The Verdier I tested is the same as Ct0517 except Ct0517 has the granito base. The motor is quite weedy - deliberately so, but many owners mod the motors and/or use aftermarket motors. It appears to be more reliant on inertia. I would ran... | |

In most transformers, the wires are wound around an iron-containing structure called the core. One coil, called the primary, is connected to a source of alternating c... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Lewm,I dont have any preference as to direct drive, thread drive or rim drive. I prefer to make my decisions based on listening. I have owned all 3 drive types at various stages. Turntables owned and/or used in my own system include - Garrard 301/... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Peterayer, Halcros comments are contradictory. On the one hand he believes that DD TT's are inherently superior in timing to Belt Drives. Then he states that no one can hear any difference between his belt drive Raven and the DD Victor. This would... | |
