| educate me That's IMO a very nice sounding table. Try it out. Decide if you want to upgrade later rather than spend your $1000 and find out that it's not for you. | |
| educate me Just want to share my thoughts on the Clearaudio Emotion....Only buy this when you like fast, transparent, lean and mean sound. Overall, that's the sound you'll get with that table. If you're looking for more meat, look elsewhere. | |
| Record Cleaning Machine I would go for the VPI. There are many advantages to the VPI. It has a platter and washes right side up!You can scrub with the fluid/brush of choice and then rinse with distilled water if required. The NG washes upside down and there is no way scr... | |

| what is this noise caused from possibly No don't to lift the back of the arm. Make sure it's level to begin. Add more weight. What are you tracking at? | |
| what is this noise caused from possibly Distortion where from? What cartridge are you using?left speaker- too much anti skateRight speaker- too little anti skateBoth speakers- you're tracking too light. Increase VTF slowly and listen.If these don't work, maybe problem is somewhere else ... | |
| Koetsu Restoration IMO, once a cartridge has been rebuild/retipped by someone other than the original maker, it will be considered a different cartridge. The fact that if it sounds better or worse.....is up to the owner to decide. Some can sound better, some just di... | |
| cantelever not straight, advise please. The word is not "straight". Yes, I am sure the cantilever on the 17D2 is straight. I cannot be bent. It's made of a single diamond crystal and cannot be bent. It will just snap off. That's why the guy said it was straight under a microscope.The re... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading I believe the Ayre phono has a 60db gain. On the LP, might be barely enough. You would have to crank it up. Lack of gain can cause the system to sound "not interesting". I had my stepup hooked to my Pass XONO and provided total of 66 db gain. It w... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Stringreen, there is no harm trying a stepup like Greg suggested. In most cases, it will outperform an excellent active stage. Gregadd, what step up transformer are you using in your system? | |
| Tube Tuners I second the Mcintosh MR71. I have gone through lots of vintage and modern hi-end tuners and the MR71 is the best sounding of 'em all. They are pretty darn good in terms of selectivity and sensitivity but not the last word. If sonics is your key, ... | |
| HRS M3 users Maple is indeed a good solution but there are lots better. Some might suit your taste better. The good thing about Maple is that it sounds natural but can at the same time sound muddy at times.I have not used the HRS platforms so cannot speak for ... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it Hi, I am deep into vinyl land and it can sometimes be fun and frustrating. Here is something you might want to consider:Vinyl is a commitment that needs your time, effort and patience. Since you have no LP's to start, you can still think it over b... | |
| Shun Mook Ultra Diamond Resonators I use them under my power amp, preamp. Yes you can tune the sound by turning them...believe it or not. Even my wife can tell the difference. Before the UDR's, I have used BDR shelves, pucks and cones. They worked very well until the UDR's came. | |
