| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Tshulba, my S/N is 3155-purchased Nov. 2006 | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Hi Dgad, thanks for your input. I have unlimited VTA adjustment on my table so it doesn't matter whether I use a spacer or not, I can have tail up or down regardless. I will play a little more with VTA to see if that helps. I'm getting very nice b... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. I use the spacer with my Koetsu RSP and also used it with the Black. I like it better than without. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. I feel that the lower the damping fluid level is on the squared off portion, the better low and mid frequ... | |
| Graham 2.2 Damping. Have you experimented yourself? | |
| Sound differences between Galibier and Teres Doug Deacon, If you don't mind sharing; What exactly are you using for belt material? IOW, Is it 0.001" or 0.002" thick mylar? Are you using a tensioner?What material is the pulley made from? I've seen numerous posts regarding the degree of import... | |
| room treatment If you're going to build traps use Owens Corning 703 to stuff them with. This appears to be the choice of the notable acoustics companies. Cover floor to ceiling in all corners if possible, the more broadband absorption the better. Avoid using che... | |
| Best 5-10 Rock Recordings? I'll suggest a sleeper that you can probably find at your local thrift store for $2. Warren Zevon-Excitable Boy.This was his best material and the record itself sounds as good as it gets, lots of PRAT(favourite audiophile term)LOL.In fact if you o... | |
| room treatment If you rent you can purchase stands to mount the real traps on so no need to even drill into the walls. I own 14 real traps and about half of them are on stands. You can also move them around to optimize positioning. | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Sirspeedy, speaking of azimuth....how do you verify "spot on" azimuth? BTW, I've been living with the fluid level just above the start of the squared off shank myself and it is much better. Now if azimuth could be set accurately without the use of... | |
| New room problems? You may have success with 2-D type diffusors but I would think about diffusion after treating the room with as many bass traps as you can build.If you want any chance of good frequency response, treat all 4 corners with bass traps (floor to ceilin... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Ducatirider, Do you own a Phantom tonearm? I'm not aware of "magnetic azimuth damping". The magnaglide function has no connection with damping fluid level. Azimuth is adjustable via a moveable slide. Fluid level has nothing to do with VTA either. | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Sirspeedy, thanks for your insight, much appreciated. BTW, maintaining a tropical fish tank is no easier than what you're currently dealing with, believe me, LOL. | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. There is a keyway to align the wand with the main body, however it has too much play, I.M.O. If the tolerance of the keyway fit was tightened up a little, there would be less rotational error. I just purchased a second armwand to use with another ... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. It's definitely a good idea to verify alignment with a good protractor but you mentioned that your armboard was drilled 0.100" out of spec. so how will you fix that?....if that is indeed the case. | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. I always prove alignment with my own protrator (designed on my CAD system) and I am actually very impressed with the outcome of alignment using the Graham jig. As a machinist, I am a stickler for ultimate accuracy, hence all the questions I ask re... |
