| TT mats I guess I'm a zombie, in that case. To each, his own. The BA mats have lots of fans, not too many detractors. What turntable, tonearm, cartridge? I use the BA Mat2 on my SP10 Mk3 with Reed tonearm and ZYX UNIverse cartridge. I also use a Mat2 ... | |
| TT mats Noromance, What you experience as "energy suck" is what some others might experience as proper dissipation of spurious energy that would otherwise generate resonant frequencies audible in playback. I am not saying that you are "wrong" and the othe... | |
| Record’s physical design properties Not only what tketcham wrote, but also keep in mind that moving the CW also changes tonearm effective mass, which can have an effect on bass response if the resonant frequency is near to being too high in the first place. (The position of the CW ... | |
| Galibier Stelvio II, Durand Kairos with Lyra Kleos (HEAVEN) When I buy any expensive audio product, I consider first, and maybe foremost, the person from whom I am buying, both the character and the skill of the guy who runs the company. That's what you're paying for in the end. In this case, you made a ... | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable From all that I can gather, Fremer is intellectually honest. He is telling you the truth as he sees it or hears it. He may pull his punches for products where he is emotionally or contractually involved, but he will typically reveal that sort of... | |
| Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records Dear Parrot, I have never had the pleasure of listening to an ELP, but from my reading, the laser "reads" not only the signal encoded in an LP but also the dirt in the grooves. The laser cannot differentiate between the two. Therefore, unless the... | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable Dear Chakster, I guess I was responding to your bald statement that "nothing" can beat the SP10 Mk2, presumably in its price range and in the category of vintage direct-drive types. My remark was just meant in fun. However, I agree that "below ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun, No, I do agree with you from a purist point of view, but I also believe that it is possible to implement an SMPS that doesn't pollute the signal (e.g., Berning products) and that in a turntable, an SMPS is not much in the signal path. ... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Your ultrasonic cleaner arrived TODAY? And you're already convinced? Or maybe I'm a "winer". | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable Denon DP80 can "beat" SP10 Mk2 by a small margin. Can be found for $600 to $900. (I owned them both, both in custom slate plinths, ran them side by side in my system. End of editorial.) What you may have heard from your un-named DD turntable may... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! To add to soundermn's apt questions, do we know the hours of use on the cartridge that you described, Jcarr? Thanks for chiming into this thread to enlighten us Philistines, by the way. Your input is appreciated.I have had the experience of usin... | |
| What is the correct way to use the Zerostat? Audphile, I haven't read every single post that followed on to your first one, but if you use the (old style) Audioquest brush AFTER you use the Zerostat, you are likely putting static charge back on the LP after you neutralized it with the Zerost... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! Moon, I guess I am suggesting that I don't know and don't much care about non-virgin vinyl. I would not characterize the question as a "concern" that is "widespread and longstanding". I would, however, be interested to know if anyone has a solid... | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! I grind my coffee beans every morning using a grinder that is probably not as tough as the one used to recycle vinyl LPs. Probably I should treat the grind with my friend's Furutech before brewing. | |
