| What capacitor values? I've had the speakers for 30 years and their sound is extraordinary (due in no small measure to the lack of complex crossovers and the full-range woofer).The existing capacitor values are impossible to see as they are glue-gunned to the cabinet be... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico "There are good reasons why airplane wings are made of Aluminum and not MDF."And none of them relates to sound! | |
| What time do you wear? Rolex watches, being self-winding mechanisms, must be adjusted to the user's regular movement patterns.This is done from within the watch (by the Rolex Service guy) after the user has kept a week-long diary of daily time loss/gain.I've had my Subm... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Mark Doehmann, the genius designer and founder of Continuum Audio Labs visited yesterday to check my Copperhead set-up.The arm of the anti-skate lever had not been drilled correctly so that there was no way to attach the arm thread to connect prop... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Sirspeedy I agree with all you have said and I think the poster you are speaking of is Thomasheid?I have checked the parameters of set-up with the Davinci and whilst the geometry is spot-on, I'm experimenting with VTA and VTF hoping for that 'surp... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? We do hear what you're saying Dgad, but when the actual Davinci arm manufacturer (Peter Brem), tells you that the Universe is a fine match with the Grandezza and is used by many owners of the arm that he knows......and when Thomasheid posts that h... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? It was great to meet Phaser and Downunder and much listening was done.I must agree with their opinions on the 2 arm/cartridge combinations but like you Dgad, I can't attribute the bloated sound to the ZYX Universe.I've lived with the Universe for ... | |

| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? An entertaining and insightful read Sirspeedy (not to mention Pat Cash).The problem with the Copperhead anti-skate mechanism that I'm struggling with......is that the NEW one is different to the OLD one (which is the one still explained in the oth... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Sirspeedy,You and I are in total agreement.......at last! | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Phaser,Once again I am in total agreement.I am not against tweeks and power cord and cable experimentation.This is where you have all misunderstood me.I am against changing the basic principle of a component which you have already accepted and bou... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Raul,If only life were as easy as Hi-Fi?You (and many others), believe that you can improve all the individually designed components of a high-end analogue system.And you in fact may have the electronic and technical understanding and ability to i... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? I never meant to denigrate vacuum hold-down.I merely stated that the Raven doesn't employ it and for me, I like it that way.All the other turntable manufacturers who DO employ it make it an integral element of their system and it obviously works.J... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Phaser,I agree entirely. |
