| Basic anti vibration? Cones vs pods? Is there "good enough solution"? Burner, The best way to deal with this problem is to suspend your equipment rack from the ceiling with springs tuned to 2 Hz. Dampen the motion with motorcycle shocks. You can dress up the entire affair by making linen sock covers. This is not my ... | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery Sokogear check out the Eagle GT, the most beautiful car ever made on steroids. Eric, check out the Singer 911, the greatest sports car ever made. The 911 is an endearing car for several reasons. People love the fat ass, women love the cabs, they a... | |
| Turntable and amp combination marr, get a Rega, MoFi or Pro Ject turntable and an integrated amp with a phono section. I would check out Parasound. They have excellent gear for the money. | |
| Azimuth 2020 You think roberttdid, just how accurate do you think you are. I have an excellent eye but I'd bet my resolution is not better than 1 degree, maybe worse. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive No argument theophile. But no where in audio history except Edison was such a big step taken by one guy. Not only did he invent the suspended belt drive turntable but the woofer design used in at least 1/2 the subwoofers and speakers made, The AR ... | |
| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? Ramon, rock pressings were more questionable. Some were great some were terrible but 3000 records is a lot of vinyl and history. Certainly worth getting equipment for. | |
| Azimuth 2020 After having reviewed the entire thread it would seem to me cleeds that you might own certain people and apology. I don't condone hot headed behavior and some people do have an unnecessarily short fuse. But, it does seem to me that you have a hard... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive chakster, no joke at all. You should review your audio history. The AR XA was a ground breaking turntable. Not only was it less expensive than everything else. It was also better performing and not by a little. It's only over site was the lack of ... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Glupson is the type who will order the Burmester system when he gets his Porsche. The Bose system is not good enough for him not to mention BOSE all over the door panels would be a huge embarrassment. Personally, until Tesla makes an interior I ca... | |
| Azimuth 2020 What, is the big deal?🤔 You put za needle in za groove upright. Not sideways, upright. No problem boss. | |
| Output test on amp I would get a digital test album like this one https://www.hdtracks.com/#/album/5ddb5ef3848da9f501f6db95Then you will need a broad bandwidth multimeter. This will check everything but your turntable. For that get the Hi Fi News Test Record. | |
| Output test on amp Many amps actually go right down to DC. The upper limit is peculiar to that am and it's design but I no of no amp that does not pass by 20 kHz gracefully. What is it exactly that you are worried about and why? | |
| Two Turntables? Why Why not? Lets see. The expense. Lack of two phono inputs. Lack of space and as always the spouse. Otherwise it makes absolute sense. Frank Zappa use to record two records at the same time just to see what comes out of it. He wound up taking guitar... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Sokohgear, I said that not glupson. I also said that audiophiles like to manage their own gear. I did not say that they but new gear every five minutes. Only Mike L seems to do that. We clean and set up our own turntables, change tubes, make our o... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? Nothing wrong with old equipment fleschler. My speakers were made in 1981. I still have them because nothing better has come along that I like better. My original amps finally blew so they have been changed. Preamp and phono amp are 25 years old a... |
