| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Aguadiem, don't do Circus, until you are prepared to have the sound character of the LP12 vitally changed. I second Normansizemore's opinion, that a cheap used LP12 bought from the usual s/h marketplaces is quite OK, but don't touch it, or you get... | |
| Suitable cartridge fore Schroeder reference arm yes I can confirm that the Lyras are excellent matches. Though I made not yet friends with the Skala, but I like the cheap Dorian with the Schroeder. I also liked what the Titan i did, when i heard it side by side with the Skala using Triplanars o... | |
| Suitable cartridge fore Schroeder reference arm > sound ringer oops I meant: sound ringysorry, Hartmut | |
| Suitable cartridge fore Schroeder reference arm I have had a lot of cartridges in my Schroeder tonearms over the years, and haven't yet found a combination which did not work. I have used Lyra, Kiseki, Koetsu, Accuphase, Tubaphon/EMT, Linn so far. What I noticed was that the Schroeder is able t... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Vinyljh, would you please stop your business talk. The emperor has no clothes, regardless what you pretend. | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Hello Jonathan,yes it was that shootout. But the slate plinthed Garrard was the only one having its Schick tonearm on a slate tonearm board, so it should work in favour for the slate plinth, if anything.To me, the Kokomo bearing modification is ni... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 I have tried a lot with Garrards the last 18 years. When I tried the Shindo bearing and platter upgrade for the 301, I have to admit that I heard it in a non-Shindo plinth, so I guess I might have missed the system synergy. It is just that I prefe... | |
| Roger Waters Amused to Death LP what is it worth$ I had a look at ebay half a yr. ago. Prices were 60 EUR to 120 EUR for the LP then. So I decided to get the CD to test the music, bought one for 5EUR from ebay. I realized, that I did not like this record so much, so that saved me a lot of money ;... | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons I had some discussion with Mr Woschnik of TW-Akustik today, and he rightly points out, that Delrin is kind of a composite material, which can be tailored a lot choosing the ingredients. It is very unlikely that he uses exactly the same plastic var... | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons David,when I had a Scheu turntable years ago, I asked Mr. Scheu to make a lot of variations. One of the variations was a Delrin (or POM) platter. This is the black material the TW-Akustik is made from now. Delrin sounds different from acrylic. Whi... | |
| What's the story on Pluto turntables? Hi,you can see a Pluto 10A in my review on the Schroeder tonearm on www.tnt-audio.com. I had it for two or three years, but could not afford to keep it longer. It costs simply too much money, and when I needed cash, I took the chance to sell it. S... | |
| Is anyone familiar with Pluto tonearms? yes, they are beautifully built, and soundwise they are top notch, and if you need a comparison, they eat an SME V at breakfast, a Triplanar at lunch, and most of the others at dinner. The gimbal Pluto tonearms, like 8A, can be regarded as Breuers... | |
| Simon Yorke S9 with a Schroeder arm ??? I owned the Simon Yorke S9 and once mounted a Pertinax wand Schroeder Reference to it. In my opinion, the original tonearm gives a better match, provided you use better cables for the Simon Yorke tonearm. I used a solid core cabling mounted at the... |
