| Debuzzing a Wheaton TriPlanar problem Based on your responses to Dave and Ralph, I am now thinking that I got it wrong. Am I now correct in thinking that the tonearm per se is not necessarily vibrating but that the hum you hear (over the speakers, I presume) is ameliorated when you gr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I apologize if I offended you with my remark about your posts citing items for sale in eBay. It was something that I have noticed for a long time, and I knew it might offend you to mention it, so I held back until this last bit about th... | |
| Try a different turntable? Lenco, Garrard, direct drive (best of the Denon, Sony, Pioneer, Yamaha, Kenwood, Technics, etc). Try something REALLY different, and you won't go back to belt-drive. Life is short. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, Your posts here about good stuff on eBay have the unintended consequence of both raising the price and causing the item to be gone before I can even find the auction. (I don't know whether anyone else has had this experience.) I know yo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, I am maybe a week away from getting my system up and running. I solved a mysterious problem with one of my amplifier monoblocks and then decided to revise the entire output stage. It will take another week to burn in the new tubes before... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Pryso, I understand now that you were not disputing the rationale behind the use of multiple subwoofers but merely the notion that the idea originated with Duke. Gotcha. All credit to Earl Geddes, I guess. Duke is a great guy and would be the... | |
| Debuzzing a Wheaton TriPlanar problem Can you tell whether the cartridge body itself is vibrating so as to feed back into the tonearm wand? That is the only mechanism I can think of for this strange phenomenon. If you ignore the problem and play an LP, what happens? Is there added hum... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sorry to beat an OT horse, but here is a quote from Duke's website:"The main obstacles to natural-sounding bass reproduction are the inevitable room interactions - which impose large peaks and dips on the bass response. By using multiple subs spre... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Sorry for my factual errors, Pryso et al. Could have sworn Duke uses 5, not 4. Did you really mean to write that Duke did NOT develop the multi-sub concept for smooth response?I concede also that the REL in typical set-up does not provide a low-pa... | |
| An evening with the Whest PS.30RDT Special Edition Dear DCarol, Keep your shirt on. I was just thinking out loud, as one does during a face to face conversation. I did concede that I had not heard either the Whest products or Raul's phonolinepreamp; I was only comparing the known features of the t... | |
| vintage turntables? I'm not so sure. Harry Pearson went ape over either the original SP10 or the SP10 Mk 2 (I think it was the original version), and that gave the product a whole lot of cache in the US. You might say that it was the first Japanese product to be so l... | |
| vintage turntables? Musicgioni, I agree with Atmasphere. You compare the Cosmos to some middle of the road vintage direct-drive turntables and then make a sweeping generalization about all vintage turntables. Likewise, you compare vintage receivers to your very high ... | |
| An evening with the Whest PS.30RDT Special Edition Dear Raul, I take your point. If they really have done all the things they claim, I can see how the price is justified (but perhaps not the US retail prices for the same items). In contrast, however, I would think that your own phono stage, with a... | |
| Cryo'ed LP's I can only think of bad things that can happen, like the process will permanently deform the grooves, etc. And I cannot imagine the rationale for it. By all means, try it and tell us what happens. But keep your 6-eyes and your original Blue Notes ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder, Based on comments from others, I would suggest the REL, if you cannot get a Velodyne HGS (that's if you want a Velodyne HGS). The JL subwoofers and I think the Martin Logan subwoofers (the best ones, not the lower end stuff) are also sa... |
