| Kronos vs TW Acoustic Were I to be at all interested in any belt-drive turntable, the Kronos would be my choice. This is in no way meant to denigrate the TW Acoustics product. | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers It seems somewhat counter to logic to purchase a subwoofer that now requires a rumble filter. If you can "hear" the subwoofer operating during normal playback, that typically indicates the level is set too high; turn it down a bit and see if that... | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? Nandric, How can you, the consummate logician, pose such a question, since likely no one of us has heard both pieces? | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Reference Turntable Review on Positive Feedback Thanks for your responses, JTinn. I always wondered what it was about the platter/bearing assembly that dictated the fact that the two cannot be separated by the end-user (apparently) or for shipping purposes, at least. This is just owing to my ... | |
| Tube for a Noob ??? Like Noromance said, "tube" CDPs use tube in the audio section; as you might expect, decoding has to be done with chips in the digital domain. There are a few companies who make or made very excellent sounding CDPs with tube-based output stages. ... | |
| Does anyone know where I can get a turntable platter machined to my specs I second Viridian's recommendation of Colby aka "InDaGroove". He's THE guy for this. | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Reference Turntable Review on Positive Feedback No doubt that the combination of these 3 devices must be magnificent to the ear, as it is to the eye. What was eventually done about the problem of shipping the NVS, what with the fact that the platter still seems to be inseparable from the chass... | |
| LCR phono stages we know about The revival of this (my) thread enables me to ask a question: I was reading an old review of the Manley Steelhead, in maybe 6 Moons, maybe from 2004 or 2005. In that review, Evanna Manley herself describes the Steelhead circuit from input to out... | |
| worst sounding great lps Anything on Roulette, and sadly they had some great artists in their stable at various times, including Mel Torme', Sarah Vaughn, etc. | |
| Coincident phono stage - cartridge compatibility (EMT)? I just read a review of the Coincident and something about the specs. This seems to be a dedicated MC phono stage, despite any pretext about using an MM cartridge with it. There does not seem to be any way to bypass the built-in SUTs, in other w... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? The Kong, Before having done any modifications or tube rolling with the Steelhead, I would rank those 3 as follows: MP1>Steelhead>Janus. This is my Janus with upgraded coupling capacitors (using V Caps and polystyrene film and foil output c... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Thanks to Nkonor for reviving this thread. I bought a Steelhead just a few months ago, and so far I quite like it. My gripes would be as follows:(1) Input resistance choices for MM. The MM input offers 47K ohms and then a series of very much low... | |
| Turntable Platter Demagnetizing "Steel" platters are probably stainless steel. Stainless steel has a very low iron content and is generally regarded as non-magnetic. Furthermore, ebm, copper is non-magnetic too, unless you wrap wire around it and run a current through the wire... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Chakster,I once looked into how those phono stages work that are said to automatically adjust the cartridge load impedance, but I have now forgotten how it is done. However, the question now is whether the WLM, given the design of its input ... | |
| Miyajima Zero hum? This is an interesting question, because the Miyajima Zero is one of the best mono cartridges out there, and, so far as I know, it was designed from the ground up to be a mono cartridge. Thus, unlike many "mono" cartridges on the market, which ar... |
