| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths If you go to Loricraft's website and read their explanation of the benefits of their motor controller, keeping the 301 motor operating at 50 Hz keeps the motor running at optimum efficiency.The benefit is the motor is running smoother and quieter ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Yes, with the Garrard I built a baltic birch plinth with multiple layers anticipating big performance gains, but the performance was mediocre at best and very disappointing. It was a reasonably substantial plinth, but not until the Porter and Semr... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths I use the CU 180 on my Mk III and my Mk II. They are actually made of Gunmetal and sound slightly more alive than copper. The performance of the Mk II improves substantially with the CU 180 mat. Maybe I have been lucky but to date no sonic issues ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths My experiences with properly designed heavy plinths is all positive. When well executed, I believe the primary function is to add enough mass to improve resonance control without killing dynamics. This is the tough part and art! The net effect esp... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Ddriveman is correct. The key issue here is for Mepearson's test to be valid he should look to revise his testing by either substituting a different higher mass cartridge, Denon 103 for example, or changing the weight of the headshell on the 64s (... | |
| Koetsu compliance compatibility issues I agree with Syntax. The FR tone arms are the best I have heard with themin particular their stonebody cartridges. | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Sorry to chime in so late to this interesting discussion, but I want to share my experience with linear arms vs a Fidelity Research arm.I am currently using a Fidelity Research Fr 66S/Orsonic headshell/Ikeda silver headshell wire with a Koetsu Cor... | |
| Looking to simplify You may also consider the VTL 5.5 with built in phono.thanks. Louis | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? JJ2482,The Lamm with Westerm Electric NOS 417's is splendid offering resolution and a touch of warmth. Paired with the LL2 it soars and together they make a very listenable top tier combination. The lack of adjustment and limited gain in the MC se... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? I would also add to the top teir the Allnic H 3000, with it's transformer coupled design.Since I am not a ss guy, i can not comment on these designs, but have heard and am impressed with the Einstein. I have owned an Aesthetix (IO) Eclipse and Man... | |
| Audio Research Reference 2 vs. Lamm LL i have owned both, while the 5.5 is an exceptional pre-amp for the money with it's versility, especially with the built in phono section, the Lamm is in another league, sonically.If performance is your goal, the Lamm sounds more like music, mates ... | |
| Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's I bought the C-1's for the second time. In the interim after selling the first pair, i took a journey with Merlin, Reference 3a, Dynaudio Special 25's, Harbeth, Magnepan's and Quad ESL.The last 3 were excellent, but lacked that something special t... | |
| Will ARC VT-100 drive Dynaudio C-1's The C-1 is a wonderful speaker, ruthlessly revealing of anything in the food chain, exposing the weakest link.While the ARC is a fine sounding amp and in moderate size room will be more than adequate, to really make the C-1's sing you will need 25... | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 Nanrric,I ignored your negative comment because I didn't want the thread to deteriorate, but if all these people are more than amused with the 301,Some with walkers others with rockports, maybe where there is something to it. | |
| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 I am anxious to hear Veterone's platter for the 301 as he really is in tune with the positive energy of this iconic turntable and how supremely musical it is. I have never compared the plinths directly, with or without whisky, that is why I didn't... |
