| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul, It's a bit of a secret, but I am on to a way of modifying the input of the Sound Lab so as to render it quite nice for my OTLs and anyone else's tube amps, as well. This is a collaboration among several Sound Lab users who prefer OTLs and/or... | |
| Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think? Swampwalker, Oh yes. Without a doubt. "Great" = the sound I seek. But give or take a few details, I don't think we are all so different from one another in what we seek. Anyway, one's own absolute sound and the difference between two phono stages ... | |
| Tube Phono Stage vs Solid State What do you think? Dear Stanwal, Wouldn't you think that "great" phono stages should tend to sound the same on a given system. The "great"-er they are, the more they should begin to resemble each other, IMO. I recently had that experience comparing my Atma MP1 phono... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Nandric, If one wishes to drive any of the full-range Sound Lab spkrs with a tube amplifier, particularly with an OTL tube amplifier, there is work to be done with the network that feeds the panel. I and others have made some modifications that he... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I have no opinion on this Neumann issue, only curiosity. Many years ago, Ralph Karsten told me where to install a resistor in the RIAA section of my MP1 preamp so as to introduce the Neumann correction. I purchased a nude Vishay for the ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Dgob, When you say that you found "improved performance" when you mounted your nude SP10 on AT616s, may I correctly assume that you refer for comparison to the same tt when mounted on Symposium products? Or what? Thanks. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nandric, I am working at this point because I still need income, not because I am too young to retire. The speaker maker, FYI, is called "Sound Lab". They are located in Utah. The full name of the product I bought is "Majestic 845PX", a fairl... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer Thanks, Ecir, for that insight about quality control. That plus the lack of a good owners manual goes a long way to explain all the consternated owners who have posted here and on Vinyl Asylum about problems with the Foz. | |
| Is power cord upgrade worthwhile on Lenco L75 Sorry. It is the bearing and platter that are sold as a package for $1000, not platter plus titanium idler wheel and arm, and Mirko suggests not to use the platter with the stock bearing, due to the added mass of his platter. This makes perfect se... | |
| Is power cord upgrade worthwhile on Lenco L75 Found photos of the platter on eBay. It is beautifully machined and weighs many times more than the stock Lenco platter. I just wonder whether it would be wise to use it with the stock idler wheel, because the higher mass will place unusual demand... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Allen Wright claimed in his "Tube Preamp Cookbook" that he or his listeners could hear a difference when his RTP3 preamp was configured so as to roll off at 750kHz, vs no roll-off! Go figure.Raul, I cannot tell from what you wrote; does your own P... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System As time and my birthdays go by, I feel I am headed toward a Linn turntable, a solid-state integrated amp cum phono stage, and a pair of bookshelf speakers. My muscles and joints would love that system. Last night I had to carry just the power supp... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer Just sayin' that when I saw the actual size of the Cartright, I was surprised since some of its announced capabilities normally require a bench full of equipment. But, like you, I have an open mind. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear In_shore, What you say is also well and good. I further still maintain that the tt and armpod ought ideally to be in unison, so use similar strategy to isolate both tt and tonearm, a la the Da Vinci. I would not favor using a Da Vinci or simi... | |
| Is power cord upgrade worthwhile on Lenco L75 Did not know Mirko has made a Lenco L75 replacement platter. Have you got a URL? I would like to see that myself. I do not use his idler wheel or bearing, but he does seem to do quality work. I use the "Jeremy" "super"bearing, made by Jeremy Clark... |
