| Soundsmith's turnaround time? Peter Ledermann is one of the good guys in the industry. He is helpful and generous with his knowledge and his re-tipping service is extremely competitively priced. Remember too that if your cart is unrepairable there is no charge made for his tim... | |
| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners Raul you could not be more wrong. The subject is exactly about how the SG sounds - please refer to the OP at the top of this thread where he wrote: "I would like to hear from owners of Strain Gauge cartridges (particularly Soundsmith owners)as to ... | |
| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners Slowhand, if you haven't seen the Positive Feedback report of Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, you may wish to check it out:Positive Feedback - the exhibitors are listed in alphabetical order, so the entry is about half way down the page.Also, at Audio ... | |
| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners This thread has veered off in a weird direction. Here's my attempt to inject some objectivity and balance.I own a Soundsmith Strain Gauge and have also had the opportunity of playing The Voice cartridge in my system. Further, I've heard others' St... | |
| Review: Soundsmith SG-410 Strain Gauge Cartridge Cartridge Excellent, descriptive review. The Soundsmith Strain Gauge cartridge really does take vinyl replay to a new level. When audiophiles talk about the characteristic warmth of analogue, they are in fact describing the limitations of the magnetic motor... | |
| Teres 260 or Galibier Serac? This question has been discussed previously - try a forum search."Better" depends on your key criteria and how critically you listen to music. Set up as their designers intended, Galibiers are more convincing on rock music.The Serac comes surprisi... | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Cmk - Artisan Audio will have a Galibier Gavia on demonstration at the Heathrow Hi Fi Show next weekend.http://www.artisanaudio.co.uk | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH I've heard a Monaco a couple of times and didn't get it. I applaud Fremer for speaking the truth. As he perceives it. | |
| New analog system disappoints, please help If you can vary the cartridge loading on your phono stage then try progressively higher loadings. You will find that gives you more air and sparkle - that should all be there from vinyl (compared to CD).I would agree with Patrick that you should t... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable My views on Galibier and Teres tables have already been quoted here. Having worked with Thom over the last couple of years I would say that he has a better developed sense of what vinyl replay should sound like than anyone else I have come across.... | |
| Vinyl in London, UK The best shop in London is Selecta Disc, 34/35 Berwick St. They sell new and second hand vinyl.Other worthwhile haunts are charity shops - Oxfam, Cancer Research and British Heart Foundation are all good. Oxfam even clean LPs before sale! These ar... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I believe that you're onto something here Raul, so I picked up an Empire 750 Limited from the guy in France. I fitted it yesterday and first impressions are very positive. Surface noise is way quieter than the EDR.9. I like the tonal balance, whic... | |
| best "entry level" audiophile TT? Paul, yes I have heard better than the SL-150/L75 and bought a Galibier. I worked my way through Nottingham Audio, Origin Live, SME, dps, Teres, Michell, Rega, Kuzma plus more (I previously owned Thorens and Linns) before I hit on the Galibier and... | |
| best "entry level" audiophile TT? One of the reasons alot of people on here recommend Rega's is that they are easily upgradable in many different ways but they also have some drawbacks.Another reason is they realize the table's limitations and are looking to sell, so that they can... | |
| best "entry level" audiophile TT? I spent 2 years auditioning "high end" tables before making my choice. Part of the problem was that nothing I heard bested the 25 year old Technics SL-150 Mk II or Lenco L75 that I picked up to re-learn analog set up.A good table will isolate the ... |
