| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge @lewm I've found that the setting of the Anti-Skate is more difficult for MC cartridges. Separation must be nailed exactly for best performance. It is more difficult to find arm/headshell combinations that will produce resonance in the sweet zone.... | |
| ZYX "House" Sound @linnlp12 Thanks for the good words about the DD-40! I measured all the tables I had a few months ago using an app that measures and reports RPM and WOW and Flutter. One can quibble about absolute accuracy, but comparisons among tables does indic... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge I've found a solution to my dislike of screechy highs. And it was right in my cartridge drawer! I installed my very old Grace F9 body with a Soundsmith RS-9E stylus assembly (plugs in). The stylus assembly is constructed of an Alimunum Cantileve... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge Thanks everybody for your comments. I've learned via this thread that there are about as many opinions as there are posts. I must think. | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for your offer. I am in California, long way from you. I do all the adjustments you've mentioned. I am obsessed with getting them set correctly. I use a 31 band EQ (yeah, I know, evil stuff). I can drop the treble and b... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge @baylinor I must be looking for the wrong things, as when I've fooled around with VTA, I wind up at parallel again. It may be that I can't discern the subtleties of this adjustment well enough to set it. Please explain what you look for and what ... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge @drvinyl01 Hi, could you elaborate on your post? In your opinion what exactly is wrong with my system? I very carefully align my cartridge to the arm and table. I perform all the needed adjustments. I use an arc protractor that I created from an ... | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge @ghdprentice You can find the listing of my gear at the bottom of my OP. I forgot to include the arms. I have a Micro Seiki MA-505L on a separate pod aligned with the Technics SL-1200G, the stock arms on the Technics and the Denon and several oth... | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier @piebaldpython, @rodman99999 Glad to know that there is at least one other with the Paragon E. rodman999 has a great idea. Roll tubes on the E to create more of that tube sound. I recently replaced the original Tungsol 12AX7 tubes (6), made i... | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier @rodman99999 Thanks for the great advice. Yes, I have looked at the caps in the PSU and the unit. I normally replace all caps in a vintage audio product. I've done it for all the tuners that have come this way and lately for the two APT model pre... | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier @ghdprentice Thanks. I am certainly considering used amps. I've seen a used Rogue 100 here on Audiogon that seems to fit. So far, I've seen great reviews, especially from 10 Audio. I should add that I'm thinking that this amp will be for my phono... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App @rauliruegas I apologize. | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App @rauliruegas I appreciate your willingness to continue this discussion. However, I have learned much more than I needed from this conversation. I don't regret any of the comments made on this forum. For me however, the need for exchange of ideas ... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App @rauliruegas @mijostyn Dolby is mass entertainment, not traditional music. I may be a :"wonderful" "immersive" experience, but it is not music. This discussion has veered way off topic. Probably time to cap it off. Thanks to everyone for contr... | |
| A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App @mijostyn I agree.Electronically shaped and amplified music at concerts is highly processed. It can sound really good or horrible depending on how it is set up. A home system should be able to beat an electronically amplified live concert easily. ... |
