| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, Sometimes I go for humor ahead of substance. Just kidding. We all know where I stand on the issue of plinths. I have done the work to reach my conclusions, so I feel ok as regards my own preferences and my own system. However, I am beginning... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Raul, You tend to use the term "distortion" to describe any factor that results in a deviation from perfect reproduction (whatever that is, and sadly it is often subjective) of what you perceive to be in the grooves. In that sense, I agree that el... | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations Nandric, I went out to buy canned sauer kraut in water and decided, right there in the supermarket, that the Mandarin orange slices would be better, because there was more water in the cans and they are heavier. Turns out, the canned sauer kraut i... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I think we can all agree that it is possible for a turntable to be "Timeline speed accurate" and sound bad, for other reasons. It is also possible for a turntable to be slightly inaccurate for speed under load and still sound great.Dear Raul, Your... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Guess what. I don't hate digital, and I too just purchased a new device, an Oppo BDP105. I bought it to replace my highly tweaked Sony SCD777ES, which I have owned for a decade. But, alas, the Sony developed a fault that no one can fix. The Oppo w... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Thanks for your insight, Raul. I have not heard either the Orpheus or the Phoenix, but I know the general feeling is that the Phoenix is very good, too. I acquired my interest from having heard the Temper many years ago, an excellent and very neut... | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations Willie, I don't think you want your turntable to "rock sideways slightly". That's a problem with noncompliant balls, like marbles. I mean this in a conversational way, not as a mandate. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, Just as the peritoneum was once seen as a necessity to keep the stomach, spleen, liver, intestines in their proper place. I am keeping mine.Henry, Good one, re "Tom Henrys". | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations See if you have the balls to try it without the feet also touching the shelf. You'll need cups. I used to be a lacrosse goalie, so I know. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System "Hank" is an apparently American nickname for someone whose given name is "Henry". Thus, the famous baseball player, Henry Aaron, is better known as "Hank Aaron". Now you mention your unfamiliarity with "Hank", I am not sure that they use it as a ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? As for me, I have to admit candidly that I was never willing to spend more than $2500 or thereabouts for ANY cartridge. Thus I have never personally owned most of the top echelon contenders, based on price. I have owned a Koetsu Urushi for many ye... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, I am surprised no one else brought it up, but the Acutex 320 series also have titanium cantilevers, IIRC.Nandric mentioned AKG. We all know that the unavailable P100LE is nectar of the gods, but what of the P8ES and its derivatives (vdH, etc)... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Voraratc, I suggest you purchase Panasonic capacitors that are available from Digikey, on-line. If they won't ship to Thailand, then perhaps you can do a search in your area for a source of Panaonics. Nichicon and Silmic are superb choices, as wel... | |
| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Actus, The short answer is, it shouldn't, and it doesn't reflect the actual cost to the manufacturer of that repair. That's why SoundSmith and many others can do the same repair for much fewer dollars. The manufacturer is counting on audiophilia n... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus If anyone wants to sell his or her Orpheus L, in order to purchase Proteus, I am interested. |
