| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. " Because it is not necessarily the case that a tube-based power supply will make for a better sound compared to a solid state one. I for one have my doubts. Very often these days model changes are merely a device for raising prices."The only thin... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Quote analogluvr , " I’ve tried power cords from Shunyata and XLO and have not heard any difference. Shunyata one was there flag ship that was selling used for almost 2K. Nada." The only place where I, personally, find inarguable, obvious differe... | |
| Boron Cantilever and Ruby Cantilever, Why Ruby? It's an availability thing and the pricing for boron rods forced change. Manufacturers moved to as ex. sapphire and other gemstones for cost primarily but availability is also a major issue. This is a quote right on Ortofon's site acknowledging t... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner @goofyfoot I get what your saying about just the roadrunner that some may feel its unnecessary to "them" personally. It all depends how one utilizes it . I don't and cant see running it when the table is playing and I'm listening to music . As I s... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner @fsonicsmith To put it diplomatically, you are naive. As with all other components in the chain, no amount of engineering can do away with the flaws inherent in recording and playing back vinyl. Perhaps you suffer from Mike Fremeritis. It’s a con... | |
| Pheonix Engineering Road Runner @goofyfoot I had an SME 3009 11 improved with the removable head shell on the Thorens TD145 I had back in the seventies. That was the only arm I used on it while I owned it and it played well with the 145. If your hearing wow and flutter in the mu... | |

| Just an observation here, but???????? It’s all about trade offs. No matter what drive method, design based on suspension or unsuspended mass, or a balance in between, or multi plinthed.They ALL have trade offs in their inherent strengths and weakness’s of design. The more you pay init... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? QuoteRegarding has2be's statement that screwing the two pieces of birch ply together will defeat the isolation provided by the constrained layer damping placed between them, that layer of damping material is put there not to provide isolation for ... | |
| Home grown turntable platform/base? If your making a platform with layers, use a proper glue for the specific materials. Don't use screws, they defeat the purpose and allow the vibrations to freely travel through the platform circumventing the layer effect to reduce transmission of ... | |
