| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors melm, I give up. Re-read my last 3 posts. Or don't. Invictus, Lofgren A = Baerwald. So, what is your opinion now? | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors melm, You seem determined to find something to disagree with, no matter what I write. Yes, I did know that the UNI and Smartie are based on the Dennesen. Was it necessary for me to say that in the context of the point I was trying to make? I di... | |
| NAME SOME RARE AUDIO ITEMS THAT DID NOT TAKE OFF BUT SHOULD HAVE & WHY.HERE'S MY LIST trelja, In the early 1970s, I was beginning my quest for sonic Nirvana as a penniless medical student living in NYC. On weekend days, I often wandered down to Lyric Hi-Fi on Lexington Ave, to hear what they had to show off, including the IMF Moni... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors Melm, You and cleeds certainly are a judgmental pair. But also, your reading comprehension is not up to snuff. Where did I say that a SMARTractor cannot be as good as an arc protractor? The answer is: nowhere did I say or write that. What I did sa... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors I'm all for saving money. As regards protractors, my ship has left the dock. I already own and have paid for the UNItractor, the Feickert, an original all metal Dennesen (I keep it for its historical value), and a Turntable Basics (which I no lo... | |
| JVC tt-101 repair Chakster, I don't know how you can put a number on the repair cost without knowing what is the problem, but I do agree that the cost is likely to be in the vicinity of $1000, if anything other than simple calibration is needed. And here goes my u... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? I will be happy to sell my Kendood to Nandric. But not the Kenwood. I had a copper platter made for the Kenwood on the premise that it would be a better EMI shield than the OEM stainless steel platter sheet or mat supplied by Kenwood. Maybe for th... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors In my experience, the Turntable Basic protractor is fatally flawed in that it does not permit the user to precisely locate and align the spindle with the pivot point of the tonearm. You've got to aim it by eye at the pivot, which is usually sever... | |
| Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound? It’s too late to edit my post above, but, for example...Chakster, The OP is not saying that the ZYX cartridges are dark sounding. He is asking WHY they sound dark to him, via his digital copies of LPs played through his headphones. He seems to rec... | |
| Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound? The OP and all the responders, including me, are talking past each other. Typical of civil discourse in the age of the cell phone.i feel sorry for all of us. | |
| JVC tt-101 repair You need JP Jones at Fidelis Analog.QL10 isn't a DJ TT. | |
| Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound? Try a 47K ohm load. It's really impossible for a third party to make your diagnosis, because we don't know how your system ensemble sounds or what you really mean when you say "dark". This is not your fault, necessarily. It's just that none of ... | |
| High End Reproduction is back I am most interested to learn more about the new MM cartridge. Is it mentioned on the Acoustic Systems website? Thanks, anyone. | |
| NAME SOME RARE AUDIO ITEMS THAT DID NOT TAKE OFF BUT SHOULD HAVE & WHY.HERE'S MY LIST roberjerman, The direct-drive Beveridge speaker to which you refer in your first few sentences is the 2SW. About 5-6 years ago, I bought a pair, including the DD amplifiers that are built into the base of the speaker, on a lark and because I had ... | |
| Happy with digital, but thinking about vinyl--looking for system specific recommendations Since your phono stage apparently has gain enough for an MM or MI cartridge, but not a LOMC (Low Output Moving Coil) type, I would recommend a top notch MM or MI cartridge. Sound Smith make a line of MI cartridges that have a good reputation, but ... |
