| Turntable recommendation Try to find the: Simon Yorke's "Zarathustra S4" or the "Denon DP80" and you will never look for an upgrade. Do not overpay for an arm. It is the most fetish material in this hobby and in my case I've routinely substituting for the better till I've... | |
| Who uses high end TT setup for vintage records ? Dear Pani,I thing I almost got what your point is all about.Viridian explains in his last post that is a matching or a flavor missing link.

| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? I've check a resistance of 9.6 Ohm (R) & 9.8 Ohm (L) on my XPP with my Protek 505 digital multimeter.I'm using the input tap of EAR MC4 step-up that is recommended for 12 Ohm Nominal Input Impedance. This tap has a Natural Impedance of 145.1 O... | |
| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? The VDH "The Grail" Phonostage, is also current sensing (and I've heard that VDH take a license from Goldmund).But I'm sure that there is not a problem with the loading, as I've own VDH "The Grail', Einstein "The TT Choise", Goldmund "Mimesis 7 w/... | |
| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? For my own XPP he recommends an optimum load of 200 Ohms.I prefer to let it wide open at 47K for both of my phonostages. I'm using :1). A current mode active pre-pre with Siemens CCa feeding a RIAA with RCA 12SL7 / RCA 12SN7 / Philco XXBThe TT is ... | |
| Avantgarde or Tonian? I have made a (Tappered Quarter Wave) cabinet using Raven R2.0/PHY 12" long before the appearing of Tonian's version. Impressive at both low & high freq but the feeling was missing. It seems like the ribbon cannot intergreated with the 12" pap... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Dear Hiho,Please forgive me if I can't see clearly the video and correctly understand what is going on, but .... IF :1* The rotational axis is determined by the 2 bearings of the armtube's vertical movement.2* These 2 bearings are attached at 90 d... | |
| Colibri Light Weight Gold on RS212D - wow Mazda does not worth the high asking price and I've found the TFK very plethoric, homogenizing the bass. All the NOS square or rectangular getter 12AX7 are first class. I have the RCA 7025, that is excellent but bettered by the SYLVANIA 5751 sqare... | |

| Colibri Light Weight Gold on RS212D - wow Dear Anatoliy,The "X" means "extented" body. The first production of Colibries were 2.5-3.5 gr and their output was 0.15-0.22mVOne day VDH himself decided to alter the meaning of the "X" and explained as the way the coils are fixed to the cantilev... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? I see that he abandoned the provision of alignment by the headshell (the only right way) and adopted the Triplanar's method of align the azimuth by twisting the arm tube (very convenient but wrong). By doing this, he has also fixed firmly the head... | |

| Turntable speed accuracy ΟΚ, but we have to decide about the correlation between motor's torque and platter's inertia, the amount of belt's grip or slippage, the speed, the distance and diameter of the pulley in correlation with the desired circumferance of contact around... |
