| Need help with Ortofon stylus force gauge Well guys, I've been living with this table for two weeks and just this Wednesday I inserted a Supratek Syrah tube preamp into the mix. Wow! It's all very nice. The sad part is the preamp will be here only through this Sunday. So, the next three d... | |
| Best Joni Mitchel Album Miles of Aisles. No question. This is a stellar recording. | |
| Teres related question Do it. You can always upgrade the arm later if you think you need to. | |
| Poco "Legend" half-speed MFSL vinyl I agree with 4yanx. Some of the Nautilus pressings are better from an engineering standpoint. Neil Young's "Harvest" is a great example. The bass is spot on with what one would expect at a live performance. Heart "Dreamboat Annie" is another fine ... | |
| UPS is in bed with the devil, Yeah, and they are raising their ground rates 1.9% the first of the year. | |
| Low-Fi Experience Like Albert, but on a much smaller scale, my priority is 2 channel. I'd definitely get a system in a box should I ever desire HT. Also, modest systems can sound pretty darn good when set up with care. | |
| Ekos tonearm users anyone?.......Need help Kaput,I have an Ittok and just looked at the Ekos online. They look very similar. You set the verticle tracking force dial to zero and then balance the arm with the couterweight so that it floats over the record being level. You then dial in your ... | |
| Are internet sales taking business or not? High end audio sales was a closed society at one time. This dates back to the day when the enthusiast started his own business. They did everything for the buyer, even holding you hand as you wrote the check if that's what you wanted. In return, t... | |
| Need help with Ortofon stylus force gauge Doug,Thanks. I had already raised the cueing device to its maximum height. For the short term fix I cut a piece of cork gasket material cut to match the arch and adhered it with double sided tape. Few would recogize that this isn't stock. It looks... | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... Ears,Harvest is not a turd recording. Ever hear the Nautilus vinyl?? If it comes across as such on DVD-A then it's either the format, an engineering mistake or a copy of the original recording several generations removed. It took quite a while for... | |
| Need help with Ortofon stylus force gauge Yahoo! We have a turntable. My Linn preamp does pretty darn good with a cartridge with as low an output as the 901. I only listened to one cut and just had to come in here and post to this thread. My guess is that what I'm hearing most is the cart... | |
| Need help with Ortofon stylus force gauge I should have acknowledged the help I received from Twl before I even began the set up. Thanks Tom! Also, the Teres will be going into a new, Rives designed dedicated listening room. Associated equipment along with the turntable are Merlins with b... | |
| SACD my thoughts at this time..................... Very thoughtful post Ben. As one that is strictly analog based I probably shouldn't contribute to this thread. My reason for doing so is that as one without a lot of disposable income for other formats I fear any decision I make would become obsol... | |
| Need help with Ortofon stylus force gauge Thanks for all the support. 4yanx, all of this stuff is new so my friend really doesn't know what to think of the Illustrious and neither do I. It came without the correct amount of fluid in the lift and cueing by hand isn't something I really wan... | |
| Need help with Ortofon stylus force gauge Thanks guys. I experimented with it on my Linn and it matched so it's close enough for now. I simply can't wait to listen to this table. I'm going to get spoiled fast. |
