| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Alectiong, Has your system ever previously given you those qualities which you now say are missing with the Raven AC? If so, was it an analog or digital source that gave you greater satisfaction? I will say that what you are seeking (or what ... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Ain't that the truth. Funny how so many end users find the net result to be simpatico. I am an agnostic, haven't heard it. But I do love my own Lenco L75 with PTP in slate plinth. I am sure you have made an uninformed negative judgement of that as... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Alectiong, I agree with your present course of trying to perfect or improve upon what you already own. Along those lines you might want to consider the heretical idea of going backward to only one motor driving the Raven AC. If you go that route, ... | |
| sme 30/2 or TW Acustic Raven AC3 Dear Cjfrbw, I take your remarks to heart. You make some excellent points. You aroused my curiosity about your own system, so I went to your site. How on earth do you get all those tube amps, particularly flea-power SETs, to drive your 4-ohm ribbo... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Stiltskin, Be prepared for a lecture.Mosin, I was thinking along the same lines. In fact, Alectiong may have already made his choice while we've been carping. I am very curious to know what he bought, or maybe he wants to sell his Raven/Grandeeza ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Axel, In addition to the Xono, you might consider the Ayre P5Xe. It's a true balanced design (the Xono is not) and sounds great in my system playing my MM and MI cartridges set at its lowest gain setting. But if you change a few settings internall... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? DT, you wrote,"Now - if you jump from firm solid rock ground it will be different as if you'd jump from a suspended wooden floor and the landing will be different too - right? Do I need to say more ?" You might say more about the relevance of this... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ray, I was very frugal all my audio life about buying equipment but especially vinyl-related stuff. I bought my Triplanar about 20 years ago, used. I was a friend of Herb Papier, the designer and builder of the TP until shortly before he died. Her... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ray, My system is posted here. Sound Lab M1 spkrs, Atma-sphere MP1 preamp, Atma-sphere MA240 OTL amplifiers. The pre-amp and amps were highly tweaked by me over many years of ownership. I use any one of 3 turntables right now, but the MM/MI cartri... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Sorry, here is complete URL:http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/Classes/MATH198/townsend/math.html | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? Dear Dertonearm, I hate to harp on this issue, but I have a "thing" about bad science, such as your contention that the mass of the slate is a major determinant of the distance that a billiard ball will travel (and your bogus reason for saying so)... | |
| Minimum Cart Output for 30db Gain Phonostage Why not use a linestage after the phono stage and plug your headphones into the linestage, assuming it will add enough additional gain to drive them? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Ross. Your comparing it to a Koetsu has meaning for me, since my former reference was an Urushi, which I still own and like. I guess it is unlikely that someone who already owns an original P77 would feel the need to buy the P77i just to m... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Does anyone know whether the new Garrott P77 is a real attempt to recreate the original at a high level of quality, or is it merely an attempt to capitalize on the good name of the P77, i.e., a marketing gambit? I guess only end users among us can... | |
| XLR waste of time ? Jimjoyce, Your dream of comparing single-ended to balanced under any sort of controlled situation is just a dream. What you could take from this thread are the tips about when you would want to use an XLR connector (in or out) and when it is a was... |
