| The VPI Rim Drive Whoops! I was thinking of the Verus motor made by Teres. There's been less commentary on the VPI version. Sorry. | |
| The VPI Rim Drive There's been lots of comment on this board. You might find it by searching the archives. Most like it; a few don't (commpared to their previous belt drives). | |
| best MM cartridge... Dear Raul, Having read your post above on the "best" MM cartridges, I did a search for the Nagaoka line and found one company selling the MP-100 thru MP-500 models. (Each higher model number on the way between MP-100 and -500 costs more than the p... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed To further support the remarks of Dave and Doug, I owned a Notts Hyperspace and heard for myself in my system the large progressive improvements associated with going from elastic belt to thread and from no motor controller to a Walker PMC. Sounds... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Thanks wbw, Perhaps Jean can comment as to the source of his ceramic bearing. It may not have come from "Joel". | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II So, Jean, where do you get the ceramic bearing, and how can Lenco lovers get one too?And what's this about an acrylic layer on your giant super splendiferous plinth? | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed Sorry about use of the phrase "pig-headed". Perhaps "close-minded" would have sufficed and would have seemed less harsh. No offense intended to anyone.Guys, do you really think that a light platter with a friction bearing is a perfect analogue of ... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed I for one do not care a bit whether or not you like your cdp better than your turntable. And I do think it's possible for digital to "outperform" analog, regardless of cost, if for no other reason than the fact that the judgment between the two me... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed I'll take a shot at it. From the one photo, it appears that the tt sits on a Target wall shelf which is in turn bolted to the back wall of that tall cabinet, in which also sits your TV and other gear. Thus, vibrations emanating from the tt are cou... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed I agree with DGarretson and Dopogue (both friends of mine), move the tt out of that cabinet and onto a solid non-resonant support that does not enclose the tt, AND get yourself a motor controller, SDS or Walker. After that, if you're not happy, th... | |
| Well Tempered Reference Vs Nottingham My $.02. I too think that the WTT is a great and novel design. And I agree with others that a Walker or other high quality motor controller will provide an amazing improvement that you won't believe until you hear it. However, I personally have ne... | |
| What is the best Dynavector MC cartridge - why? Chris, You've heard the Te Kaitura Rua? If so, can you comment on it's performance compared to your XV1s and to your PC1, albeit that your XV1S is apparently a mono version? Sorry to stray a bit from the topic, but in a way it's relevant. | |
| Stereo Sound cart rankings Cmk, I'd be very interested to know which among some of those esoteric brands of cartridge are worth further consideration, e.g., what about Phase Tech and MySonic? From my several visits to Tokyo in 2007, I came to believe that the Japanese (at l... | |
| Stereo Sound cart rankings Who is Stereo Sound and why does their editorial opinion matter any more than does that of S'phile and TAS or any other mag? It seems highly unlikely that any one person on the staff of SS could have carefully evaluated this many cartridges, not t... | |
| Koetsu Urushi + MC step up transformer Can you be a little more descriptive? In what way does it "suck"? Do you lack gain even with the SUT? Is it bass heavy or exaggerated in the treble? Is it grossly distorted? Are both channels behaving in identical fashion? Etc...Since I believe K&... |
