| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions It's hard to beat a wall-hung shelf (especially if mounted on a masonry wall) for reducing the effects of structure-borne feedback? | |
| Graham Phantom1, Kuzma Stogi Ref, Naim ARO On the FR series of tonearms.......I can't add much more to that which Syntax has stated.As he rightly points out.........the REAL 'Test of Time' is the 'price' the 'Market' puts on these 30+ year old tonearms.There is currently only one FR-66s av... | |
| Raven AC3 I have had the Raven AC-3 for 5 years and consider it a fine turntable.I have read reports from various sources suggesting a 'darkish' or ''coloured' character and can only assume that the set-ups in question were subjected to structure-borne feed... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Gee Gary,You and I are not only brothers......we are twins!!?I too have my TT-81 covered in the attic as an emergency spare should the need arise?Gary's idea is not a bad one Banquo.....as the TT-81 can be had quite cheaply and is certainly more p... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? What a shame Banquo,I really feel for you :^(I hope you didn't outlay too much on this tragic episode?I must admit that looking at the photos of the innards of the TT-101 that I posted.......I can't imagine it worthwhile trying to 'track' a proble... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I'm wondering what arm you're intending to run the FR-6SE on as it is rather low compliance for a MM and so sounds best in a heavy, controlled arm?It sounds very much better in my FR-66s than any of my 'lesser' arms.....which should be n... | |
| Setting Azimuth I agree with Lew,Apart from the reasons given.......the room itself can often give 'unbalanced' sound to the channels?My left speaker fires into the room with a lofty angled ceiling over whilst the right-hand speaker has a flat ceiling.The left ch... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear (Mad) Professor,Transplant is complete!The AT155Lc stylus assembly is in place in the AM10s......and you were right!The midrange is now THERE. In fact.....because the stylus is brand new....the midrange is almost 'shouting'? :^)But this Sigmu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover,I think one of the great losses in magazine reviews compared to 20-30 years ago is the comparison between competing components.I couldn't agree more!I think commercial pressures have rendered most reviews (and reviewers) to politically corre... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,If the stylus holder is not original whatthen? I was facing the same problem with one of my Garrott P77 cartridges where I broke the cantilever and foolishly threw away the whole stylus assembly.I sent Axel some photos and he replied ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thank you Professor (Timeltel) for those kind words.I will indeed try the 155Lc stylus in the AM10s. This is one of my favourite assemblies and it never occurred to me that it was compatible?With the graphic descriptions of you in your 'shop'........ | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,As you, when this set up is " right " contribute a lot for the cartridge quality performance level be " right there " where we enjoy it the best.I think you are right about this. I recall with my Rega Planar 3 and Hadcock 228 Unipivot wh... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola,I have dealt with the Bluz Broz and without getting into details......I would not deal with them again.Regards | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Acman,Hopefully Quasimodo did not leave any lingering odours as he passed? :^)After 10 days of Signet 'sound'.......I was inspired by your post to give the Acutex 420STR a spin.You are so right........much more than just a 'touch' of the Acutex... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Not having heard the AT-440ML/OCC myself........are you saying that it shares the sonic signature of the AM10? |
