| Focal 1027 Electra Be and power amp Which Electras? Another member told me with a tube amp, the 1027 Be was a bit too bright. He was happy with Rowland Concerto SS amp.ARC VS115 looks good but it looks to be too much power for my room. Maybe the VS60... | |
| Correcting drifting with Sutherland Timeline Because of stylus drag, the beginning of a LP plays at a different speed than towards the end.Can you see this on the Sutherland Timeline? | |
| Correcting drifting with Sutherland Timeline Sounds like a great tool. However, I can tell you as a musician and someone with absolute pitch that almost 100% of LPs are not in tune. Somewhere along the recording chain, a slight pitch error occurs. Some are really bad. Like the original Miles... | |
| 3A Andante speakers I believe now that Reference 3A is the current incarnation of 3A Audio Design that was based in Antibes, France.These speakers sound really good for the price point. | |
| How to hook up subwoofer I think I got it. So I can connect a subwoofer to the 2nd set of speaker posts on the Arcam 8R.As an example, if it is a Rel T-1, then I only have to connect one wire for the ground on the amp side and use the Speakon connector on the sub side.My ... | |
| 3A Andante speakers I found the company for these speakers:3A Audio Design based in Antibes, France. The series was called Audiophile Serie. I can't find any info on the web.The lines went Andante, Allegretto, Allegro, and the flagship Adagio. They had the woofer on ... | |

| Advice on mistracking or some problem Well, at least you know it is not the cartridge. You're right, if the distortion remained on the same channel even after changing L/R, then it is post table. | |
| Advice on mistracking or some problem Strange that this happens at the beginning of an LP. If it really is skating, then it would more likely happen in the inner grooves and louder passages.What VTF are you using? How is the VTA? And do you have another cartridge to test with? | |
| Cassette deck enthusiasts...... I have a 680zx and is a great deck. If you carefully calibrate and bias the deck for half speed, the quality of the sound in half speed is quite stunning. | |
| Which cartridge for my System? I am a jazz musician and recording engineer. I just got the Grado Statement 1 and am blown away how great it sounds.This cartridge is my last. I don't need to look anymore. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul,Compared to the Sonata, the Statement have much much more detail and the high end is the best I heard. The mids are much more realistic and the bass is there but tight and an upright bass sounds just like how it sounded in the studio. It i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I just picked up a Grado Statement 1 and is a huge upgrade over the Sonata. I know it is not MM but I find this to be the best MI I've heard. | |
| Stand out phono stages Sutherland PhD sounds great to me. | |
| Grado Master, Benz Wood body, or Maestro Just picked up the Statement 1. I'll check it out tomorrow. |
