| Heavy table on Target vw1 'pro'? Kenny - Not an option for me unfortunately, I am terrible at handywork and I hate doing it! | |
| Sibilance issues with vinyl rig Joseph - I've been through this exact same scenario, same table, same problem.Your problem is not setup related. No matter how much fussing you do with VTA, VTF, alignment, anti-skate, etc. you are not going to fix the mistracking and the sibilanc... | |
| Heavy table on Target vw1 'pro'? Wilson - That makes much more sense, thanks. I was thinking the lag screw would head would need to go inside the metal frame, as with the small screws that the shelf comes with. I'll give it a try as you described.I'm also considering adding a Map... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Ask for a raise. An engineer with some experience in NYC should be making at least 100k a year, right? I would think you'd be able to scrape up a few K for a stereo... How much is your rent, like 4k? If so - maybe move to the suburbs? | |
| Heavy table on Target vw1 'pro'? I just got the Target 2 shelf version for my Orbe. It was recommended to me to use lag bolts into a stud to secure the shelf, but I'm the opposite of handy and I'm confused!Lag bolts have a hex end, so would require a socket drill, right? Well, I ... | |
| Will Piega C3 ltd's work with a Rogue Cronus? Give those C3LTD a clean 200WPC and you'll be in good shape | |
| B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ?? "Can anyone speak to the room size limitations of the C1? My room is 14x18 with an average ceiling height of 11'"If anything, that's a bit on the small side for the C1s. They like a lot of room to breathe | |
| I think I am going to attempt to make turntatbles "It only make sense if you enjoy the process of designing and building by itself"I'm assuming this is the case, right? | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's Not even close. Go with the 1.6 or 1.7 instead | |
| Kleos Sibilance HW,With all due respect (I like the design of your tables), I purchased a Scoutmaster from my dealer with a Shelter 901. I had bad sibilance distortion, and went on a quest remove all of the distortion. I tried three cartridges, an Ortofon Jubilee... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Tzh21y - I agree with Rob on the RB300. It's an excellent arm for the price, but I don't think that you'll find it up to the task of completely eliminating sibilance distortion.If you want to try Rega, I would suggest giving the RB1000 as it suppo... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Not to go too far off topic - but my understanding is that several mm of difference in tonearm base height only changes SRA by fractions of a degree. I know that others have had different experiences, but I have not heard these minute changes in S... | |
| Kleos Sibilance I don't believe the RB1000 has adjustable VTA. If I decided to move forward with that arm, I would probably go with the shim-based approach. Once I get VTA roughed in for an arm/cartridge I don't usually mess with it too much, and I can buy R. Gan... | |
| Kleos Sibilance I'm interested to hear how things work out with the SME 309. I'm considering moving to that arm myself w/ my Michell Orbe. Either that or a Rega RB1000. | |
| Kleos Sibilance Hi Robob,I unfortunately don't have the solution to your problem, but I've struggled with sibilance distortion quite a bit as well, and I have a long thread about it. Maybe some food for thought in it somewhere?http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr... |
