| Tracking error distortion audibility I read the thread about Mint protractor and noticed that some Graham alignment gauge users find differences in alignment. In my experience there are differences from one to another, some have some "play" in the foldable plastic device , other not.... | |
| Graham armwands--how to determine model? Ask Bob Graham @ grahamengeneering he is very kind person and helpful. | |
| Tracking error distortion audibility May I jump in here to give an honour mention to the excellent and easy to use Graham cartridge alignment device that always is spot on with any cartridge I mounted, doubled checked carefuly with two points protractors. This clever device is a plea... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction It is a nicer challenge to build a wonderful sounding system with a minimal budjet than buying the most expensive items. I learned alot with the Lenco threads, the MM/ MC thread , Quad 57 thread to apreciate the "downgrading" pathway , maybe I fin... | |
| Tables That Feature Bearing Friction Have you seen/heard the new Platine Verdier Magnum with 135 pounds 50 cm diamater massive platter levitated by hydraulic oil suspension inverted bearing ?A work of art to say the least ! | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Again, contrary to common belief, those Quads 57 have plenty of bass, very well controlled but needs right room placement. What extra subwoofer ads is absolutely not "more" bass, but a 3D projected sound image of the whole spectrum, when switching... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul, that Soundstage article is the exact description of my own experience on integrating subwoofers with ESL pannels, thank you, relieves another myth from the global audiophile conciousness...something is hard to fight against even if your own ... | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? The most rewarding experience is listening to a direct FM transmitted from the concert hall live , even with my bottom of the line Magnum Dynalab MD 90 T it is the closest approach to beeing in first row at the concert.Of course the reason for thi... | |
| VPI Aries 3 versus McIntosc MT10 turnta McIntosh is a great amplifier company.VPI is a great turntable company. | |

| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Thomas: thanks for your input. Most valuable as you have the 3 decks.I agree Lenco L75 is the quietest of the 3 due to the very smart idler design, Thorens is effectively a complex design and needs very careful and expert tuning to give it's best ... | |
| Sandbox-style isolation Dear Cerrot: the Ultra platform is directly on a VPI thick wood platform that has large leveling stainless steel cones , so I level the TT with them. Direct coupling the VPI makes it unsuspended and in this case it is a big improvement sonicaly ov... | |
| Sandbox-style isolation Dear Cerrot : the Symposium Ultra takes the TNT to another level, associate with a set of 3 rollerblocks Jr. as reviewed by Roy Gregory HiFi + it takes the TNT in the stellar department. Certainly the best upgrade I have done to my TNT.Second is r... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Jonathan: now that you have listened to the 3 idler wheel classics with your slate plinth, for you wich one you like better of them: Garrard 301, Thorens TD 124 or Lenco L 75, with same arm, cartridge and system ? | |
