| Warning: Linn tonearm anti-skate not accurate Jayboard, your post referred to RB250. I think I can explain the counterintuitive observation was caused by RB250 having too much positive anti-skating (outward), even when set to nothing on the dial, it exhibits outward push.Therefore, settings a... | |
| Analog First Timer. The Well-Tempered is a good recommendation, but I would also suggest the SME-10, which includes the arm as well, and also Tom Evans Groove or Mini Groove Plus. The SME-10 has world class quality, and the long history of SME, even today, will be ab... | |
| Warning: Linn tonearm anti-skate not accurate I read you old post, don't see what was counterintuitive to you? Using a grooveless track is not accurate and should undercompensate due to the reduced friction (hence force).The anti-skate is a force related to the friction, offset by the angle. ... | |
| Rega and VPI tonearm owners - READ THIS For comparison purpose: Linn Ekos - 95%OL hardware, Incognito wire - 90%HW hardware, Incognito wire - 85%OL hardware, OL wire - 82%stock RB250 - 65% | |
| Better Transport than CAL Delta After intrigued by the fable, I got one and it was no comparison to a Proceed PDT-3. | |
| spectral amps what speaker cable The reason MIT is specified because the manufacturer wants to minimize uncertainty dealing with non-competent cable design frying the amplifier.Spectral is a very high-bandwidth and high power design. Therefore, with a non-comforming speaker cable... | |
| Rega and VPI tonearm owners - READ THIS I did exhaustive listening with 3 RB250's. One had a full OL mod, one had Heavyweight + Incognito wire. Then I swapped the mods, so OL+Incognito wire, and HW+OL wire. One is stock.In any event, either mods were step up from stock. Furthermore, the... | |
| Verdier and Amazon Hi,I think what I implied:1) The system synergy is important. Linn+Arkiv+Linto, even with no modification, can sound better than a mis-matched, but more expensive setup. 80% of people could have screwed up in mix-n-match. How many times we bought ... | |
| Which SACD should I buy? Sounds very, very good. Redbook playback, in my limited A/B test in my very system was preferred with more resolution and naturalness. Sony's were rejected due to long TOC read.I have Purcell doing upsampling from Marantz, but I wouldn't think it ... | |
| CD Recorders Also an awesome transport, better than all Stereophile B rated units, if you care about those things... | |
| ATC speakers, anyone heard of them? SCM20S is equivalent to SCM20SL, they were the first SCM20 to incorporate Biwire terminal and SL magnet. After that, all SCM20SL is basically similar. However, the S comes with beautiful Ebony veneer (which can no longer be had), and both side mat... | |
| Verdier and Amazon Well, LP12 is a simple enough product that can drop in a supercharged turbo, drives like a rocket, and corners like no tomorrow.1) Supercharging: What it need is removing the steel chassis and replaced with carbon graphite parts (literally identic... | |
| Help Wanna Buy Amp Tomorrow : ARC VS BAT I think your choice of speaker, Utopia will be better with BAT. All balanced connection and design also adds performance. The ARC, even high-output ones tend to have more 'cardboard' cut-out sound stage, very wide, but short of depth. BAT has beli... | |
| Linn Lingo Putting any 'audiophile' PC will not automatically mean anything to Lingo. Think about it as a power amp outputing a 50Hz, 120V signal. And think about the design of Lingo which is to use a high-precision crystal to generate (divide down) 50Hz sin... | |
| How Much Bearing Oil In LP12 Depends on if you have Cirkus or pre-Cirkus.Cirkus takes much less oil, only about 10 drops will be plenty. Use a flash light, you'll see that the oil will cover the bearing (a ball).On non cirkus, when you use the flash light to look inside, you'... |
