| Azimuth 2020 And by the way, these days I rarely even try to adjust azimuth electrically. I have come to favor just getting the stylus to sit properly in the groove, which is usually very close to if not exactly at 90 degrees azimuth. I leave it to the manufa... | |
| Azimuth 2020 Actually, because I have a Triplanar tonearm (with easy azimuth adjustment) and that Signet Cartridge Analyzer (which has a built-in db meter) I mentioned up above, I once experimented to find out how much could Azimuth alone alter channel balance... | |
| Azimuth 2020 Yes, but changing azimuth will also alter crosstalk, and azimuth has far less of an effect on channel balance vs crosstalk. So a little change in balance makes a big change in crosstalk relationships. | |
| Azimuth 2020 Robert, You wrote, "I pull out the test record and do a high frequency sweep to make sure channels are matched."Matched for what? Balance or crosstalk? | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? I knew this would degenerate into another pointless battle between digiphiles and vinylistas. Can't we all just get along? | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? By whom should the judgement be made? The Audiophile Board of Governors? Which thankfully does not exist. The question is pointless. | |
| McIntosh C 47 phono stage versus the Herron phono. Or any used, discontinued Allnic, from the 1201 up, that may be less expensive. With all due respect to the guy who said it, I do not believe the older tube Mac preamps compete with the Herron, but my experience is with the stock units. He menti... | |
| Azimuth 2020 I think what can happen, if azimuth is set at any angle different from 90 degrees, is that as you raise or lower the VTA. the contact points of the stylus, depending upon stylus shape, might alter their contact with the groove and certainly the di... | |
| Technics Compact Linear Trackers, SL-__; SL-Q____ Vertical SL-V5. ADVICE PLEASE I apologize for being so dogmatic. If you are patient and follow the listings on a site like Hifido English, eventually you will find what you want. But if you find one elsewhere, that's fine too. I was only trying to channel you in a good dire... | |
| How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup? 30-35 years. | |
| Technics Compact Linear Trackers, SL-__; SL-Q____ Vertical SL-V5. ADVICE PLEASE I still say you should try to find one in Japan or Hong Kong, from a reputable dealer who is experienced in mail order business. That way you are unlikely to be coming back to this forum in a few months asking how you can get your damaged Technics... | |
| Turntable power supply/motor’s role in SQ for belt drive TT In two separate experiences, I have found that a motor controller, with or without a feedback mechanism, dramatically improved the performance of a belt-drive and an idler-drive turntable. First was with a Nottingham Analog Hyperspace for which I... | |
| Technics Compact Linear Trackers, SL-__; SL-Q____ Vertical SL-V5. ADVICE PLEASE And the added bonus is that it is quite likely to be free of Coronavirus, coming as it does from NZ. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Feet are like religion; everyone has his favorite. I'm not a particular fan of the AT616, but is 250GBP similar to the cost of a component for any of us crazies? I would have thought not. | |
| TechDAS lll experience The Grand Prix Monaco has been around for quite a while, maybe a whole decade. It has not made a big splash in the turntable world. What I don't love about it is the rather small plinth and the carbon fiber. I have a bias that CF causes a kind of... |
