| Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor? Thanks Frank, I was going to replace the stock shelf for the Target with a maple shelf. That's what started this thread, after I called the manufacturer who told me to try to use the floor.Your point is taken, and it's probably best to pick a mate... | |
| Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor? Good suggestions and thanks. The wall is the easiest solution for me.This thread was originally started because I was told by a manufacturer of wood platforms not to put it on concrete or a bearing wall because the sound is inferior compared to wo... | |
| CD's you bring for auditioning I agree with Tpsonic, the Mapleshade stuff is very revealing. One of my favorites is Kendra Shank's Afterglow recording.The first two cuts, Almost Blue and Photograph are excellent for testing. Gives you that "I'm in the room with you" presentatio... | |
| AC Power Line Conditioners I've been using an old Power Wedge 116 for many years now. Back then the unit was well received and I have not tried anything else since.I really didn't experience a sonic improvement when I first plugged it in. Over time there was improvement but... | |
| Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor? You know that's funny that you mention this method. Years back, I remember reading an article...I think it was Stereophile...he talked about such a method, saying that the best possible isolation would be suspending the table in space. Did you rea... | |
| Best way to convert adjustable shelves? Good stuff..thanks Blindjim! | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? The human side to it is of real importance, especially if your in it like me for the long haul...and of course experience and knowledge.Peter Ledermann with Soundsmith (Strain Gauge) also fits into this category, and after emailing him a couple of... | |
| Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor? Thanks everyone! Sounds like the wall. | |
| Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor? Thanks Bdgregory. Yes, this has always been my understanding as well, but there is a large community of audiophiles and manufacturers who support the use of wood, such as maple, for its natural dampening properties. This then translates to a bette... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? I took a look and the designs are very similar.I also have to figure out a cartridge and phono stage combination but I have set aside some decent funds for that...if I use my SME 309 for now and hang on to the CJ.After doing some research, checkin... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? You make good points Stiltskin...and now that you've opened it up to the Gavia, what factor(s) swayed you over to the Raven? The reason I'm asking, is that I just found out about Galibier and I happen to live in Boulder, Colorado.If the two tables... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? Thanks for the recommendation Jazdoc. I read the Stereomojo review on the R1 that indicated that the table was direct purchase from Acustic ($5,000)...that's why the great value. Has there been increases now due to distribution? | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? Thank you. My concern with the OL Resolution is the plastic motor shaft...at least that's what it looks like. That's why the VPI was appealing...longevity? Who knows, it seems like they've beaten those models to death...tweeker's heaven though.The... | |
| Best way to convert adjustable shelves? Thanks Blindjim, that's a great and simple solution.That's how the top and bottom of the cabinet are constructed...at least it appears to be dowles but could be screws under dowle caps.My only reservation is that the shelves are slightly undersize... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? I'm looking for greater bass control and authority, as well as better spacial focus on the musicians.Depending on what I wind up spending on my front end will dictate how long before I do the amp upgrade. If this was today, I'd probably go for a t... |
