| Isolation and Harsh Highs? I have most of my audio equipment supported by EquaRack footers and the sound is much cleaner and articulate. The lower notes are tight and well defined and the highs are simply pristine. I would definitely try any other material other than glass ... | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners Dear Elinor,Congratulations on your new turntable. It's an excellent choice and everybody seems to be more than happy with it.I would suggest to look into Minus-K, SRA and HRS. I know that High Water Sound has used SRA and Minus-K at audio shows w... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? Dear Dgad, you're right. Playing a resonance test record should yield a more accurate result. I just thought that it would be important to first check with the resonance graph, or something similar, before purchasing a cartridge-tonearm. I persona... | |
| an amp without "electronic" sound Dear Chris,I highly recommend the Spectron Musician III SE. This amp is absolutely grain-free and has a fast and organic sound. It is extremely transparent as well. I started with one amp and added a second one in mono-block balanced configuration... | |
| Vpi ScoutMaster vs Acoustic Signature Final Tool Dear Jaspert,I think both are good choices. I own the AS Mambo and have been very, very happy with it. The Final Tool is very close to the Mambo and its performance should almost be at the same level. The AS turntables come with the Alpha power su... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? This is a link to a graph you can use to calculate tonearm-cartridge resonance.http://www.simplyblack.net/Images/pdf/Arm-cartridge_Resonance,_July29,_2007,_B8c.pdf | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? Dgad,I tried the Hi-Fi News test record about a year ago and I don't recall any anomalies from the test. I eventually didn't expect any weird results from this test since both items are from the same maker.Lawm, ++++"I am not sure about iSanchez' ... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? Dear Lewm, Sorry I wasn't more specific about your compliance question. I somehow missed it. The headshell as you point out is on the heavy side. I brought up the different interchangeable weights to show that the effective mass can be increased o... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? Sirspeedy, thanks for your kind comments. I did find those reviews very instructive when I first read them. I really believe that this tonearm can pretty much handle anything. It is a pleasure to set up and a bigger pleasure to listen to it knowin... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? On of the features that I was looking for in a tonearm is that it must be compatible with most cartridges in the market today. I just didn't want to get caught up with a tonearm that couldn't handle a light-weight or a heavy-weight cartridge, shou... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? Lewm,The 507 MK II has adjustment for azimuth via the headshell. VTA adjustment can be done in two ways: one way is by adjusting the mounting hight of the arm, and the other way is via the 'hight adjustment level', located at the base of the tonea... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? If I may add to Flg2001's question about the 507. The issue with this tonearm is mostly related to mass distribution once the arm is mounted on the turntable. The arm itself is 3 lbs, which is something to factor in when considering matching it wi... | |
| Getting ready for the future? 1350, what cable are you using out the Apple TV? I'm also contemplating simplifying my digital playback. I've done a test over the weekend running a cheap toslink optical cable out the Apple TV feeding the Benchmark DAC, but I didn't like the resu... | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? According to Chris Sommovigo of Stereovox you can have longer interconnects, but short speaker cables.This is a link to an interview conducted by Positive Feedback Online:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue30/stereovox.htmiSanchez | |
| Analysis Plus big silver speaker cable versus Stereovox I'm currently auditioning in my system the Stereovox Reference BAL-600 interconnect. I'm so impressed with this cable that I've decided to update all cables in my system to the Stereovox Reference series. I've been listening to the BAL-600 for two... |
