| recommendation for a high end analog system It was after living with the Nottingham that I became interested in first idler-drive turntables and then direct-drive. After purchasing both a Garrard 301 chassis and an NOS Lenco L75, and thinking for a bit, I decided to go with the Lenco, sell... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system To be clear, I am not necessarily pushing for the Triplanar over all the other very good tonearms also mentioned by others. There is not a loser among them. For me, not being able to close the cover (a potential issue with the Triplanar/SOTA com... | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp Russ, That's what I would have guessed ("Quality home audio, they are not."), and that was my point. Thanks. | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp Peter Walker notwithstanding, what is a Crown amplifier these days? | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Googyfoot, Based on all that has gone before in this thread, I am not sure how you arrived at the "understanding" you describe above. What you wrote may fairly be characterized as your opinion. In your 3rd sentence, you use the term "mono cartri... | |
| Silver Head Shell Leads For reasons that are not obvious from the physics, copper does sound different from silver. (Yes, I know silver is a slightly better conductor, but explain to me how that affects SQ, assuming all audio frequencies are conducted with equal efficie... | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp Given the complex and low-ish impedance curve of the M-L speakers, I first of all think you would be best off with solid state amplification, even though I personally use only OTL tube amplifiers to drive ESLs. Among SS amplifier designers, I thin... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system $3200!!! Seems very high to me, but maybe that proves I am a troglodyte. Especially in light of the added $1600 cost to upgrade it further. Mine is about that old. I was actually at Herb Papier's house having mine upgraded to Mk7, or whatever wa... | |
| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges Mijo, You’re “waiting” for a Helix or a Cosmos? | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Never heard of the TTM mat. Is it still in production?Also, Hi Albert! | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system I meant get a 5g weight and use the double-sided tape to affix it to the headshell. You can use any sort of flat disc that weighs 3-7g. You would need an accurate scale to weigh the chosen object. Or ask Tri Mai, the maker of the Triplanar. Ma... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Yes, 11g is the standard quoted effective mass for the 9-inch Triplanar, regardless of the "version" as indicated by Roman numerals. And yes, that is probably not the best choice in terms of effective mass for the Denon 103R, but it is probably a... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system FWIW, Dover is correct; the Triplanar does fit fine. I now recall that I had my Triplanar mounted on my Star Sapphire once upon a time. The only issue is in the vertical direction wrt the max extension of the VTA adjustment and the height of the p... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Surprised that a Reed will fit and not a Triplanar, since the Reed is basically a copy of the TP, in terms of the VTA adjuster which affects the arm geometry as regards mounting. Unless you refer to a 10.5-inch Reed. Don't know whether Tri can s... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Not yet mentioned: the Eclipse motor upgrade from SOTA. Will make a huge improvement even against the limiting background of what you already are using. Go to their website and read about it. Bonus: if you send your unit to SOTA for Eclipse upgrad... |
