| SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here Best for me were the FAL speakers with Artemis electronics and a schroeder tonearm.I also liked the Coltrane and Classic Audio.Jeff | |
| Direct Drive turntables I did not propose that the goal of measurements is accuracy. (Although in the determination of platter stability pertinent to belt drive versus direct drive, accuracy of constant rotational speed probably is the goal). For somebody who likes color... | |
| Direct Drive turntables Teres, thank you for a very articulate explanation.I agree that our ears and our perception are more important than a number on paper. I do believe that with study, we will learn to improve our correlation between measurements and sonic satisfacti... | |
| Direct Drive turntables I don't understand the aversion to measurements. If you don't like measurements, you don't have to do them or pay attention to them.If measurements don't correlate with perceived improvements in sonics, then the measuring tool needs improvement. T... | |
| Direct Drive turntables It never ceases to amaze me how many audio nuts propound theories without data. And when folks ask for data usually the answer is it's too complex to measure or we measure the wrong thing. Or, it's so obvious that no testing is necessary.Are you r... | |
| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. If no conductance exists between the silver tape and the metal bearing, how would grounding the bearing help? | |
| Graham Phantom I vs Dynavector 507 MK2 I agree with Audiofeil. My comparison is not on the same table and setup.Also, I did not know the 507 allows for on the fly VTA adjustment. It is conceivable that my friend did not know how to operate that feature. My recollection is that it invol... | |
| Graham Phantom I vs Dynavector 507 MK2 I have owned the Graham Phantom I (now one the II) and have listened extensively to a friends Dynavector 507. Our systems are different, but I prefer the sonics of the Graham. Something that is directly comparable is the ease of use and for me the... | |
| Direct Drive turntables "Direct drive was a fad."Ridiculous.I have one of Oregon's Lencos and it embarrassed my former expensive belt drive table. | |
| what do you use to remove your tubes? If you have a bunch of oil on your hands when you push and pull on your tube, I could see it overheating for sure. | |
| Ayre K1xe vs First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk II I just upgraded my First Sound Paramount SE MKII to the MKIII edition. Yes, it was a meaningful improvement to an already excellent preamp.I've listened to many preamps and, for me, the distinguishing sonic qualities of my FS are a) very natural t... | |
| DaVinci tonearm and azymuth Has anybody here tried the Feickert software for adjusting azimuth?Jeff | |
| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? Conrad Johnson.For something a little more neutral that I've heard and liked and that is in your budget, you might listen to a VTL IT-85. | |
| Stand out phono stages I just built my second K&K phono stage (the "maxxed" out version) and I really enjoy it. Its neutral, fast and does great timber. Highly recommended. It is one of the best buys in my audio experience. Jeff | |
| Micro Seiki ddx-1500 I have seen a couple of Micro Seiki "ddx-1500 rx" turntables, which confuses me.Is the ddx-1500 a direct drive than can be made into a string drive by adding an outboard pulley/motor? |
