| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue jsman, I well recall the very first time I heard a Triplanar, which must have been back in the early 90s. That was the first time I appreciated that a tonearm could have a dramatic effect on the "sound" of a system, particularly the effect of cor... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Ralph, I knew you would want to use the TP on the 10R, but I did not want to "assume".Seems I could plop the 10R down into my Mk3 plinth with the 10.5-inch Reed, but not for the moment will I consider it. Later, maybe. I am going to ask Tri abou... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Yes, I kind of wish they had dropped that square escutcheon that characterized the Mk2 and Mk3. Because of it, you are pretty much limited to a 12-inch tonearm, if you want to add a second tonearm to a Mk2 or 3. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Chakster and Totem, Based on Ralph's description of the plinth for the SL1200G, which is very favorable, I would imagine that the plinth for the 10R is state of the art or even represents a new state of the art. If an exact replica of the EPA100 ... | |
| Alternatives ot Dynavector DV-1t ZYX UNIverse ought to be considered at this level. I do know that I prefer it to the Benz LPS. But all these cartridges are very good. I'm very curious about the AT1000, too. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Chakster, The shape of the whole SP1000R package should remind you of the analogous predecessor packages from Technics, the Mk2 and Mk3 in OEM plinths with a ringer for the EPA100 tonearm (SL1000, etc). Why on earth would you bring up a "Lead Co... | |
| Where are Moerch arms sold? Perhaps I should not butt in, because I have never owned a Moerch tonearm, although I admire them from afar, but is it not the case that Sorasound are dealers for Moerch? Since Mehran (owner of Sorasound) has an excellent reputation for follow-up... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for your response, Chakster. I know the AT-ML180 is beloved, but I am unfamiliar with its specifications. Is it high compliance? And is your carbon fiber headshell also lightweight? I acquired the UA7045 in the context of purchasing a QL-10... | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile QED | |
| Is elliptical the best stylus profile Dear tzh21y, I think most of us would agree that cartridges bearing elliptical styli are less fussy to set up and enjoy, but that is not what the hobby is about, for most of us. Most audiophiles want "better". If X is good, then what is better? ... | |
| Tri-Planar & Customer Service Excellence Somebody asked me about a cable cooker. I happen to have one only because I think someone gave it to me. But there are simple schematics for building such a device on line, and I use my home-made one most often, which is to say not very often. | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? I worked directly with a quarry in Pennsylvania, Structural Slate in Bala Cynwyd, PA, I think. They cut a slab to my specifications: 23x19X3, and honed both sides, as I recall. I then contracted with a water jet company in York, PA, to cut the s... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? Yogiboy and Geoffkait, I think you may be inadvertently confusing the OP. There is a difference between issues related to "system phase" (for want of a better word), which I use to refer to the phase in both channels simultaneously, and the issue... | |
| Tri-Planar & Customer Service Excellence Just saw this. I bought my Triplanar from the inventor, Herb Papier, about 15-20 years ago. I actually met Tri when he visited Herb in order to learn how to build the tonearm, after Herb sold him the company. (Herb hand built every single tonea... | |
| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? Just to complete the list of suggestions, so that every possible nook and cranny of LP playing has been covered, try playing with VTA/SRA by raising or lowering the tonearm pivot a tiny bit. But like I wrote up above, I really think you are heari... |
