| Vandersteen Quatro CT I've had three different Vandersteen pairs in my main rig. Started the hifi journey with a pair of 2ci's in the early 90's, then went to a pair of kit speakers (North Creek), then to a 5A's (which were the only Vandy's I could never get to sound ... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Vandersteen owners unite! | |
| A vote for the little guy suppliers Bruce @ Anvil TurntablesHerbies Audio LabK + KSchiit for sure! | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? I use AccuTrak arc protractors for my arms. I have a TT where I can adjust P2S distance easily. I think this point was made earlier, with Arc protractors you don't need highly accurate P2S measurement, just need accurate enough to get within the... | |
| Tonearm microphonics @handymann A year ago or so, I had the same problem as you, especially with LOMC cartridges. The solution was isolating the turntable. In my case, I used Anvil turntables excellent magnetic footers, but I'm sure there are other good solutions. ... | |
| Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help Anvil turntable footers completely solved my acoustic feedback issues. I agree with trying to move place your table farther from the powered woofers if possible. You never know how much better it might sound. | |
| Koetsu surprise @13blm I totally agree with your sentiment here. A goal for a good hifi in my opinion allows one to cater to their moods. For most that means a high relolution low distortion system, most of the time. I finding that the KRSP is giving me all the... | |
| Koetsu surprise It will be interesting to compare the FR-64S to the damped metal tonearm Jelco 750D. I plan to use my ears. @terry9 I love that feeling when a little adjustment work seems to pay off. How difficult is the trans-fi to adjust? | |
| Koetsu surprise Ha! | |
| Koetsu surprise Thanks Bruce looking forward to listening with you!As far as distortions...Since there is no way of knowing what is actually on the recording, I will go with what I hear as more realistic, more information about the tone and timbre of an instrumen... | |
| Koetsu surprise That's the thing. I'm enjoying the music more with the Koetsu. The A90 is fantastic too, does everything right but the Koetsu is informative. Have you guys listened to Herbie Hancock's Headhunter's Analog Productions release? Those bass lines ki... | |
| Koetsu surprise Terry, I read a lot about the Trans-Fi arm and think it is brilliant. Interesting to know that it does well with low compliance cartridges. For whatever reason I have only used pivoted arms. I have an U/S cleaner, the cheaper one by CleanerVinyl.... | |
| Koetsu surprise On the Ortofon website they mention a special Japanese geometry which does not directly fit the Baerwald alignment. Is this true of the FR-64? I seem to recall a thread about the FR-66/64 that mentioned an alternative mounting distance. It was a... | |
| Koetsu surprise I didn't think I would be the type of listener to appreciate a saturated sound but I hear the differences in instruments so much better. For example, the different sound of Cannonball Adderl's sax compared to Coltrane. More information? More body... | |
| Koetsu surprise Interesting story mulveling. Glad she bought it, I could never bring myself to do it... and I'm the crazy audiophile guy!I am going to try to align using a custom Accutrak arc protractor which I have used for other arms. Like the MINT LP, these a... |
