| Philosophy: Bearing vs. Unipivot Dougdeacon has articulated a far better answer than I could, and I very much concur with his final phrase about the devil being in the detail. I think that arms such as the two Caliburn ones (Cobra and Copperhead) are both 9 inch uni-pivots which ... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? 'I can't find words to describe this girl without being disresctful!!!!!!!!!!! the way her booty moving i can't take no more' Hilarious | |
| Advice - What turntable should I buy ??? Townshend Elite Rock. Buy yourself a new drive belt, and a two phase power supply - it will get you so close to the very best out there | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I find that a fair point about the Sp10 mk3 having a torquier motor due to the heavy platter. It's engineered for purpose so to speak. the ratio of power to weight comes in mind and with it the EMT analogy that a needle/stylus is like driving a ca... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi One man and his dog is all good and well, but he has some difficulty serving the masses or relating what he makes to the buying public - hence he remains one man and his dog. Hi fi is in decline, yet music sales have increased year on year. The gr... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I am not sure if anyone has touched upon it, but in absolute terms, virtually every review I've read on Direct Drives say that stage width has a tendency to being narrower. Is this due to the fact that the motor is directly beneath the platter, an... | |
| Graphene, Rohacell, Permali - the future of audio Hi ViridianWhilst you are entirely right - I guess it is more the case of application that is new(ish) such as Rohacell in driver cones by Magico.My point to some extent is that audio ought to utilise newer technologies/materials or use that which... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? This is an interesting thread. Robert Green on his website Regon audio tested MC vs MM's Vs Original Mastertape. HHe was of the view that the MM's were closer to the mastertape, whereas MC's - especially as they got more 'exotic' had a tendency to... | |
| Did Krell ever produce an out standing CD player?? Krell made a spectacular top loader in the 90's. If you see one for sale snap it up | |
| Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet I am speaking from memory but the Lavardin balanced very well against the slightly cool and etched presentation of the Coltranes. No issues with bass power or slam | |
| Stand out phono stages Have you bought your ultimate phono stage, or are you still looking? I only ask this because there comes a time when you simply have to commit and buy. I heard the top of the range all KSL system where the speakers were wired with either KSL or Au... | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? I have read this thread with interest. I bought an elite rock for which I did a mini review. It is a better engineered table than the Rock 7 in some regards - better bearing in particular - far closer to the Cranfield concept. I have heard a notti... | |
| Speakers with good timing it's to do with the problem of bass reflex port designs that use the port to create bass and a sound of their own. This often lags behind the sound generated by the main driver, and causes what I identify as 'timing' issues | |
| Good speaker match for the Devialet, Magico ? Don't know if you have bought yet, but try out some vivid audio speakers - I heard some at the Audio Lounge the other day and was very very impressed. Super imaging, great depth of field, real weight as well. Timed very well too | |
| Datzeel vs Asr Emitter exclusive vs Devialet I love the fact that Jonathon Tinn says that:Dartzeel is amongst the very best regardless of price. I guess Rolls Royce Silver Shadows are amongst the most luxurious cars regardless of price as well then...likewise:'Also, please tell us how the De... |
