| Turntable Placement Between Speakers with Short Interconnect? Mijostyn is correct, in my opinion. In these situations you want the shortest ICs between the cartridge and phono, and the longest ICs between the linestage and the amplifier. The amplifier should be situated as close as possible to the speakers, ... | |
| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? Not to say that the SL1200mk7 Anniversary Edition is not a worthy turntable, but I think it is meant to be viewed as a decided step down from the G series, not only in price and build quality but also in features. For example, I believe it uses t... | |
| VPI forum Dear Secret-vinyl, Since your question has nothing to do with this thread, it behooves you to start your own thread. And that will benefit you as well, because more people will see your question. If you do so, you might consider providing much m... | |
| Please Help T3F problems Good point on the already heavy weight of a stone body Koetsu. I neglected to take that into account. | |
| Frank Kuzma is releasing a new arm! Here is what I found about the stiffness of Sapphire, albeit on a website for a company that sells things made of sapphire for industrial use: "Sapphire is one of the hardest materials on earth. Mechanical hardness is typically measured using the... | |
| Frank Kuzma is releasing a new arm! Frank Kuzma is no dummy, I totally agree. I greatly admire his turntables, and based on the kudos accorded to them, I also admire his tonearms, until now, possibly. But sometimes even smart guys over reach. We shall see. You wrote, "no, you can... | |
| Frank Kuzma is releasing a new arm! Let’s spare ourselves the obvious jokes about its cost. The elephant in the room is that this tonearm is an elephant. At 60g effective mass, not many if any cartridges will qualify, if you base tonearm matching upon the equation for resonant frequ... | |
| Please Help T3F problems I can tell you that Raul does not have Apogee speakers. You are correct in noting that there is a huge difference between your two cartridges. You could, in the interim until you can get the T3F fixed, move the Koetsu to the LP12, but you need a... | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? I own a DV 501 tonearm also, but I have never used it. Years ago it was given to me by a close friend who has since passed away, and I believe he never used it either. So in effect mine is brand new. Those who have used both the DV 505 and the 50... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! Although I don't have all ~5 of the Miles Davis Quintet LPs, I do own at least 3 of them on Prestige. Not sure I would spend the bucks again for yet more re-issues of them. Not all 5 of the Classic re-issue are terrible, just one or two in parti... | |
| 180g … It’s All Hype ! adrobitko, The LP in your photos looks to be covered with white specks of something, which could have happened as a result of static electric charge on the LP surface, created in the process of removing it from the sleeve. (That's all it takes.) ... | |
| Please Help T3F problems I saw the Reference ensemble at a high end dealer's showroom, once, but do not recall having heard it. It was really a milestone product in the sense that it blew away previous conceptions of what even "expensive" turntables should cost. I would... | |
| Please Help T3F problems Which you like, I guess. Yes? If I recall correctly the T3F made its first appearance on the Reference as part of an ensemble that also included the dedicated stand. | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Dan, I think you are inferring that you like the LPM320 slightly above the ART9. There's no shame in that, in my opinion. Timeltel, I finally auditioned the B&O MMC20CL in its B&O Saturn V-like adapter. The assembly is so light I could... | |
| Leben RS-30EQ Phono Preamp Info Not a good idea to store the Herron or any other electronics in a garage, unless it’s temperature controlled and dry. Maybe you meant it metaphorically. |
