DaVinci tonearm and azymuth
Dertonarm,I don't think there is much else to say about the functionality of the software. It's a transfer function that is, as I stated, independent of the difference of channel balance. Anyone with the software, or a spec an, or a true RMS meter...

Joel,I believe it is the later being frequency specific which is to our benefit. In practical application, it allows us to go beyond the loose standard of 1KHz if we choose to.I apologize but my time online is short this morning.Dre 
DaVinci tonearm and azymuth
Dertonarm,I believe I stated that I'm not going to debate setting azimuth. I clearly stated the software does not work the way you described and your subsequent post seems to acknowledge that your previous assumption about the software functionali...

Post created for clarification only. I have no interest in debating how to set azimuth:As for the Freickert-software... it implies for correct function in azimuth-adjustment mode, that both coils of a given cartridge do have 100% identical output.... 
Does the Placette ALS have bypass for an AVR
Yes, it can be done setup for AV by-pass. Contact Placette Audio for details. You will need to send the unit in to have this feature added.Dre 
Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright.

For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work?
A bit of clarification: The basis motor is two-phase. Not three-phase. It uses a phase splitting cap as most all two-phase AC synchronous motors do if powered directly off single phase AC from the wall or something like a Walker or SDS.One of the ... 
For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work?
Yes, The VPI SDS works with the Basis motor. So does the Walker speed controller.Of those two choices, I give preference to the Walker unit.If you can swing the Synchro-Wave, It's better than both as is eliminates the phase splitting cap used insi... 
RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet
Lew,That that is correct. The Artemis Labs web site lists the table at $7800 USD. I believe three years ago was the introduction of the table designed by Frank. This maybe part of the reason for the higher price. I'm not sure when the table was re...

Lew,I've listened to the SA-1 table for the past three years at RMAF. It's good. The MSRP is $7,800 USD. The arm and cartridge were new this year. The cartridge is only available with the package do to the agreement with Soundsmith. I think the pr...

RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet
Ok, RMAF 2009 is over and I’ve yet to comment on my observations. There were a few things that were of interest to me prior to the show that I was looking forward to observing: The Durand Talea tonearm, The Soundsmith Sussurro Cartridge, The TW Ac...
