| Can't set rake angle right even lowest VTA (digital microscope checked) Indeed it's a user's lack of knowledge....the easiest and cheapest fix is to come too those who can help clarify things so thank you. | |
| Can't set rake angle right even lowest VTA (digital microscope checked) Oh thank you! That is why! I have to set up using the side of the facet as reference. Much appreciated guys! I learned something new. | |
| Can't set rake angle right even lowest VTA (digital microscope checked) Thank you guys. I have put the pic from microscope to virtual system as suggested. Doesn't look like the type of stylus that @hdm mentioned. I ended up adding a shim behind it and raise the tail of the arm so it clears the record. ended up same 96... | |
| Can't set rake angle right even lowest VTA (digital microscope checked) I have a picture, just can’t upload here. Stylus leans too much forward to the front of the arm by 4 degrees. I can try to add 0.1 gm of tracking force and see if the angle is better. | |
| Adding Alexa voice control to almost any amplifier and other equipment That is very cool! I wish I was good at coding stuff to do this. | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 It's like I want to spend a weekend ex-gf from years ago that got some augmentation before moving on to the young hot one...lol | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 I appreciate both of your comments as previous owners who underwent the upgrade path. I do love the sound that is neutral and details but I enjoy the sparkles and organic sound of tube. Line 3 is really for my fond memory of SFL-2/Krell KSA 150 co... | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 I only wonder how do updated Line 3's sound quality compared to modern tube preamp since I have not listened to new tube preamp in years. | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Well, Chris Johnson from Partsconnexion has Line 3 coming in and he offers for $2,500 with full inspection, testing and cleaning with replacement of all age related/sensitive materials and umbilical cord if worn out. With warranty to 1 year at thi... | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Well, I agree that CAT has a clean look that goes along with its clean transparent sound. You can’t go wrong with one and I’d imagine that since they are still in business, it would not be difficult to replace the aging parts like capacitors of ne... | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 CAT appears to be in business still. I had extensively listened to both (sfl2 and CAT SL1 reference) although long time ago. Both lacked the characteristic of slow, fat, overly warm tube sound but maintained the glorious mid and upper octave with ... | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Perfect time for my dilemma: with the same amount of money, will I get a better sound quality and/or reliability from say less than 10 year-old tube preamp (putting memorabilia aside for a minute)? Although price is not very cheap for 20 year-old ... | |
| Always long for (upgraded) first love: Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Oh yeah that's right I forgot about this shop. Many thanks. | |
| Seller suspended from Audiogon... oh wow... so very sad to see this..let alone being in audiophile community. | |
| In search for 805 tubes other than Chinese made Now I remember why I didn't look further for TJ, my SET amp requires the 805 with electrode on top of the tube. TJ doesn't make them. |
