| Annoying Sibilance Problem I think there is no absolute answer to this problem. The only way to get around it is to try different options and see what works well. The reason why i said this is that I have a few jazz/female vocal discs that exhibit this problem, and it took ... | |
| Annoying Sibilance Problem I had that problem before..and in my expereience, there are so many things can contribute to that sibilance problem. Here are the few things you can do:1. Check anti-skating: if the sibilance occurs on the left channel, try to reduce anti-skating ... | |
| How far I can go with tonearms on my Thorens 124? Salavat,I have tried Morch DP-6, Graham 2.2, SME 3009 II (Non improved) on my Thorens, and I highly suggest the Morch DP-6. Despite its slender look, it feels very solid and it perform extremely well.Check out my Thorens 124-Morch DP-6 - Clearaudi... | |
| Garrard 301 & Thorens TD 124 voltage I think the Garrard was designed to run on either 50 or 60 Hz with appropriate pulley (and of course, appropriate voltage). I replaced the 50Hz pulley with a 60Hz one..but it still runs fast. I guess the dimension is not correct. Will try another ... | |

| reel to reel I owned Teac top of the line X-2000R and X-1000R, but the sound of the Akai top of theline GX-747DBX is much better. | |
| Western Electric 300B Tubes Yes, they are still being made today. You can buy them from all over the places. Tubestore or TubeDepot for examples. | |
| Turntable Speed I totally agree with 0thd. I owned a very highly regarded Avid Acutus (Stereophile Class A) before, and despite the fact that I really liked its sound, I decided to sell it (well..traded it in towards my SME 20/2) just because I could not stand th... | |
| cartridges to enjoy without worries Clearaudio Maestro: $1000. I just bought it a few weeks ago from Acoustic Sounds and love it. Great sounding cartridge with focus imaging, tight round bass, big soundstaging, no channel imbalance and phenomenal tracker (even cleaner than my more e... | |
| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape If I want to get a R2R player in the range of 2K-3K , what would you recommend?Thanks | |
| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape I still collect RR tapes to play on my Akai 747DBX..and most of the tapes in 7.5ips..and they sound very very good. Many of them were made in the 60s, 70s and still sound absolutely great with very little tape hiss. By the way, arent most (if not ... | |
| Is your image centred? I had the same problem that Luna had and It drove me nut: Some LPs and CDs OF THE SAME MATERIAL exhibit dissimilarity in center imaging (My digital front end was Ayre C5xe). I re-set up my turntable starting from realign cartridges, played around ... |
