| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @rauliruegas I disagree Raul. Hundreds of companies charge ridiculous amounts of money for all sorts of products and it's not because they're worth that. And sure some do it for fun too. | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? 1200G tonearm with stock headshell has an effective mass of 12g. Without the headshell, effective mass is approximately 4.5g. If you install your 15g Ortofon headshell, you'll have a tonearm which will be approaching 20g in effective mass. You sho... | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? @tzh21y But not to worry, tomorrow it will be the best cartridge ever again. | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @bdp24 Except that in this case they will have something far from the very best. I listened to one and fondled it at a show. Meh. I’ll stick to SME. Makers of the real very best tonearm. SME does 100,000 more engineering, machining, finishing, and... | |
| what happened to the post on the sat tonearm? Raul was just saying it like it is. It's a bad tonearm. Its geometry produces higher distortion than any other tonearm. It's absurdly priced. | |
| review iPhono 2 After all these long posts, iFi is still Chinese junk. It will always be Chinese junk. | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? That tonearm is complete and utter nonsense. | |
| TT mats Supermat is acrylic. Says do in their own website: http://www.sotaturntables.com/engineering.htmBottom. | |
| Subwoofer Decision @wolf_garcia Dunkirk sucked. And what does an empty rattling seat have to do with IMAX subwoofers? | |
| TT mats @rauliruegas You honestly think a garage company like SOTA developed or custom ordered some special polymer? It's acrylic. | |
| TT mats If anyone wants to try an acrylic mat, use an old laserdisc with a very thin layer of blu tac, works great :) | |
| TT mats @rauliruegas SOTA Supermat is acrylic. Just like the awesome Goldmund mat. Good stuff, both of them.I also find it hard to believe that metal mats sound good. But I haven't heard many. I played a record directly on top of the brass platter on 1200... | |
| TT mats Isodamp is the best. I wrote that at the beginning of this thread. SME uses SD125, it’s 3mm thick. Michael Percy sells it at a reasonable price. No doubt in my mind SME makes the best turntables in the world. | |
| Subwoofer Decision Best bass driver ever made is the Danley/Eminence designed and built by Eminence LAB12. It's in use by all IMAX and OMNIMAX theaters. Get any subwoofer using a LAB12 and you're set.One example would be the BK Electronics Monolith Plus. Which also ... | |
| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! @raymonda I don’t know if all of those are fake. But for example, the picture showing the Nagra’s internals has been stolen from one of the big online review sites. So that’s a red flag already. I don’t have time to go through everything to verify... |
