| Stereo Sound cart rankings Dear JCarr, During my visits to Tokyo, it is always surprising to me that the average Japanese audio salesperson has barely any knowledge of the Koetsu line, especially since they are made right there. (This knowledge was gained by having my son p... | |
| Phono Stage Cuts Out If it goes dead silent in one or both channels with no other signs of trouble, it's likely to be a relay that is malfunctioning. Not likely to be a capacitor problem. This fact is not a lot of help to you, because you will need to have a knowledga... | |
| Walker or VPI motor controller with scoutmaster? The Raven may come with its own outboard MC, as do several of the v expensive tts. But I'll let Elinor tell us. | |
| Used Record Stores & Audio Gear in NYC I am bummed to learn that Stereo Exchange no longer sells used gear. I used to love to visit there when in "the city". As someone else said, the salesman would be on you like flies if you demonstrated any interest in anything, but it was fun to br... | |
| Walker or VPI motor controller with scoutmaster? I own the Walker Motor Controller and would not be without it or some analagous device. A proper motor controller will not only help to maintain a stable speed but also causes the motor to run more smoothly with therefore fewer vibrations and less... | |
| 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... |
