| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe I really do appreciate these thoughtful responses. I did a bit of internet searching before starting this discussion. The results of that search included nothing of a very compelling nature as regards which machine to choose. With the VPI, I boug... | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe The fact for me is that record washing is so low on my mental totem pole that I always felt the HW17 must be "good enough", and I never worried whether some other machine would do a better job. I did wash one of my most often played LPs on the Lo... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul, Is it your thesis therefore that you and we ought to be listening to digital sound reproduction? But the digital process, both A to D and D to A, brings with it its own set of distortions, ones that apparently are far more noticeable and ir... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? I agree with the substance of Raul's advice. In certain circumstances, one can get away with a first-order hi-pass crossover, which can therefore consist of nothing but a small value capacitor in series with the input of the amplifier that drives... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Harold, Have you had a listen to that rig yet? Seems like a great combination. | |
| Tonearm recommendation WRM, I've heard the Talea2 with a ZYX Universe cartridge at the home of my neighbor who was then using downstream equipment much like mine. (His system has since undergone a sea change, except for retaining his Galibier turntable and two Durand to... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Dear Steve, If your subwoofers have built-in amplification designed to receive signal from a line-level source, you will have a big problem driving those amplifiers from the output of your main amplifier; it won't work. The signal voltage is much... | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable This was 2 years ago; the OP probably bought and sold the TX1000 in that length of time. But $6-7K range is where I have seen them for sale. I agree that $3K would be very low. On the other hand, the first guy, who said that they are hard to rep... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Wrm, I own a 10.5" Reed 2A with the optional azimuth adjustment. It's one of my favorite tonearms. I don't quite understand why you say that you don't "need" the azimuth adjustment feature because of owning the Feickert Adjust stuff. The Feicker... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table Dear Hal, I think these last few guys have put you on a sensible track. Since your last reference point for what vinyl sounds like is your LP12, it makes most sense to spend a few hundred bucks just to bring your LP12 back to life, with no upgrad... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Isn't this stuff best posted on the "other" thread, sometimes known as "the thread" on MM cartridges? Just sayin'... | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner Recordgenius, Thank you for correcting me, above. I apologize for using the term "BS"; I only meant that there was good information and perhaps less relevant information and some other information with a commercial tint. However, I apologize also... | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner There's some truth and some BS in this thread. For a treatise that is worth reading, go here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/finding-pure-water-for-record-cleaning-very-long?highlight=water | |
| Tonearm recommendation Fleib, I've got one of Dertonearm's UNItractors. With it, I got him to make me a template for aligning my FR64S. I am aware also that he recommends 231.5mm for P2S. What I don't readily understand is why the difference between 230mm and 231.5mm ... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Dear Raul,I am deliberately trying to stay out of the "debate". (Perhaps you prefer that word to "argument".) I take no sides. I am just trying to figure out how one could shed some light on the discussion by actual experimentation. Therefore,... |
