| Lyra Etna Versus Kleos I'm curious why no one has mentioned the Transfiguration Proteus when recommending the Aetna cartridge. I think they are priced similarly and present a somewhat different but equally excellent sound. Unless of course the 2.0mv output is in questio... | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Socfan12,The Kronos is a great table. No question. But I don't think it's a game changer in the same sense as the Dohmann TT with vacuum hold on platter. The demo I heard at RMAF was the most transparent fastest response I can recall from an analo... | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Socfn,I got my Raven in 2008. Running latest version of Triplanar arm and Transfiguration Proteus cart. Over the years I have purchased the BN controller and motor. Also TW Mat.Mark Dohmann was Continuum. Now he is Dohmann TTs . I was never in lov... | |
| Kronos Sparta and TW Acoustic TT Hi folks,I own a TW Raven with BN Motor and Controller. Wonderful TT. Love the Kronos Flagship. Sorry, don't know the model. Yes, looks a bit more complex but I think it is solid and trouble free. Great sounding too. I know some owners. If you hav... | |
| Help me decide Revel or Focal The revels are very good. Very easy room placement. I have lived with mine in two entirely different rooms with no placement issues. If you want a more dynamic speaker, try the Magico S3. A bit more expensive but a portless design and quite good t... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? I haven't waded through all the replies to your hum problem but do you have the grounding wire from your tonearm to your preamp in use? | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Moonglum,Don't you put the weight on before you drop the needle? | |
| record weight .... correct weight? I have responded recently to a more general question about record weights and what they do in general. Yes, your question is spot on. Weights on most tables reduce left/right sound stage and increase depth of stage. This can be a positive or a neg... | |
| Amari ultrasonic automatic RCM If you are willing to spend about $1500.00 and you want the results of ultrasonic cleaning I would recommend the V8. It cleans 8 records at a time and is as simple to use as anything out there. Made in America too. I don't own it but I know people... | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight Hi Dinster,I have spent a lot of time with various record weights. My finding is the same as yours having nothing to do with materials used or brand. I have found that weights in general shift the frequency band down a bit. So weights tend to dull... | |
| looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar I have the newer version Tri P and I can't speak to sound differences over earlier models but adjustment screws and the ability to hold adjustment seem tighter than previous models I've seen. | |
| Most suitable and effective isolation platform Iaxelrod,I'm sure you know that SRA is the preferred platform for TW? Jeff Catalano of High Water Sound is a dealer for SRA and TW. You should contact him. I'm sure HRS would work well too. I have a Raven AC and use a symposium Acoustic Quantum. I... | |
| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer A friend and I heard the next potential generation of these at Newport in a Beta Test presented by Ted. Yes, they make an audible difference and you will prefer one over the other in your system. However, the one thing I was unable to determine du... | |
| Shunyata Venom vs Alpha` Valinar,Just purchased my first Zitron Alpha in 7 years. Previously used Helix series. Astounding increase in resolution. Not bright or edgy in any way. I am also using the new Venom on my headphone amp and no edge there. | |
| Revel Ultima Studio 2?? Hi Scott,I have owned the first generation Revel Studios since 1999. I agree with the previous comments made by fellow Goners. The Revels are very resolving and will not reveal their full glory without good wires and electronics. You needn't spend... |
