| Dedicated listening room design IMHO, HT demands a room with lower reverb time as a lot of ambient info is accounted for in the surround tracts. Lower reverb time allows for improved speech clarity for HT dialog. Many acousticians shoot for an RT60 of 0.3sec in mod sized room. I... | |
| Has anyone tried the new Lyra Kleos? Jonathan,Would the new lyra cartridges continue to have a hole drilled in the body, allowing for fast mounting on the Centroid arm?ThanksGordon | |
| Has anyone tried the new Lyra Kleos? I am a lyra fan and love the titan i for its intensity and lightening transient: not only for the attack but also for how fast it can release the notes. Before optimizing the Kleos, I initially thought the designer went for a warmer, slower sound ... | |
| Isolation transformer Many thanks for the informative posts.What are the things to pay attention to when setting one up? Which brand of ITs should I go for ? I was going to try equi=tech but learnt that they no longer source transformers from Plitron. I am thinking of ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Just received it, very easy to use and fuss free. Another step forward for me. I would like an arc for confirmation on overhang though. | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Most of the suggestions will work. I have mounted titan i, xv1t, airtight PC1 and the supreme, my sonic lab ultraeminent on the Davinci. The 12inch Davinci can illustrate the differences amoung the above carts but it will not maximize their differ... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Dear Jonathan,Would you educate us on how various forces contribute to antiskate? How should one go about setting the correct antiskate?Many thanksGordon | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? I suspect our differences may rest on location of the groove and the terminology. Are you refering to the general schemes of different alignment? Stevenson have increased average tracking error across the record but less skate force at the innermo... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Lew: How about the Stevenson alignment used by dv507 (pivoted arm) which supposely put the null point at the innermost track? The advantage of this approach is to minimize tracking error and hence reduce skating.Where can I read more about skating... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Dan-ed: As long as a good effort has been made on re- adjusting VTF, SRA, azimuth to go along with the new increased antiskate setting, you heard what you like. One should always setup according to one's preference. Who can argue with that? I meas... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Lewm: VTF may increase skating force but probably less than 1:1 ratio. Antiskate force is multifactoral and some portion of it is probably not modified by VTF.I am saying that increase VTF reduces the nastiness generating by skating force. This is... | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? I used to be in the minimal antiskate camp. I setup everything else first and then dial in anti-skate by ear and test record. By using torture tracks on the test record, it resulted in a much higher antiskate setting than I would use by ear. I fel... | |
| Dvorak Symphony No. 2 Classic records excellent I bought one because of the this thread. THe quality is very good and well worth the money. | |
| Inexpensive Phono Cables Recommendations Cardas bulk tonarm cables are excellent. | |
