| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm drvinyl, You ought to turn in your doctorate in vinyl. First, the bearing of the Viv floats on a bath of magnetic oil, but it is constrained in its movement in all directions by a raised ridge that defines the perimeter of the circular oil bath co... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm That’s a bunch of promotional baloney. Of course it does have a pivot. This is not to say that the TG isn’t a good product. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers I don't know why I keep posting on this, because it is one of those questions where every one of us is already convinced of the efficacy and rightness of his or her current practice. We are all pretty much old farts and set in our ways. Suffice ... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Like Bill mentioned in his OP, of course there is such a thing as acoustic feedback that could in the worst case affect the cartridge, but the cure for that is to move the TT or the speakers so as to prevent the phenomenon. Furthermore, as I menti... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers To my reading of it, the OP is not asking a question; it makes a statement. To wit: "So the often offered extremes: a) Always play your records with the dust cover down, or b) put the dust cover away in it's box and never use it, should both be ... | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Last I looked, you can buy a 14-inch Viv Float, if that floats your boat. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers I think you’ve made your position clear. “Exposing the record for the least amount of time is paramount “, for which you awarded RB one point, to zero for all other opinions. So what more do you want on this boring subject? | |
| Integrity Hi-Fi tru-glider tonearm Search archives for a long, contentious, and useless thread on this tonearm. No one compares it to the Kuzma. I have become an advocate or at least a defender of underhung tonearms, but the Nasotec headshell on the TG vexes me. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Elliot, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a square-shaped flat screen TV before now. Happy new year. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers So I have a question for those of us who advocate using a dust cover during play, for the primary reason to avoid the accumulation of dust. (The acoustic argument is different, I think.) Let’s assume we all agree there is some sense to using a du... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers The ELP is not immune to dust, IIRC. TJ, if you want to come over and digitize my 3000 LPs, you’re welcome if you bring the necessary gear. | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers .."My deduction was that ambient sound feedback from the listening room and speakers is significant and audible.." But it's fair to say that you don't stomp around and shout out while actually listening to music. Nor do you use a buzz saw, etc. C... | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers There is no correct answer. No corporation or engineer can give you the correct answer. Do what makes you feel good, but I’d advise against scolding others who do not see the issue in the same light as you (meaning any of us). | |
| Some thoughts on dust covers Here comes a bunch of comments and testimonials about dust covers, up or down, good or bad. I only suggest that each individual needs to try it both ways (or each of the 3 possible alternatives, up, down, or off the turntable during play). As I’ve... | |
| What preamp with both line stage and phono? Just about any phonolinestage, other than those Shindo units, ought to have an output impedance far lower than 5000 ohms, which is quite high. In addition, you might consult with the manufacturer(s) of an amplifier with an input Z of less than 50... |
