| Klipsch forte II what league are they in? Used with a low powered tube amp (in my case a Decware SE34I.2+) there are very few speakers that can compete with the Klipsch Heritage line of speakers for under $1000. The end of a long 15 year high-end audio journey for me. I've probably spent ... | |
| Decware - any substance here? Just want to add my experience for the record.I have owned Quicksilver Silver 90 monoblocks,Cary SLI-50, Unison Research Unico and Sr-1, AES Superamp, with VAC classic, Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII, Audible Illusions, Classe, and Bottlehead preamps,... | |
| Well Tempered Ref. Arm I agree with HiFiharv. The platter is concave so the record slopes toward the spindle when clamped. The cartridge therfore should be slightly tilted to maintain the proper azimuth with the record groove. It would be normal then for the paddle to b... | |
| which cartridge is good for Well Tempered ref TT I am using a MusicMaker III (which is a high compliance cart so perfect for the Carbon Fiber WT arm I am using). I have the paddle lowered into the silicone fluid about 1/8". Sound is excellent!!! I tried going deeper with the paddle but didn't li... | |
| Riggle VTAF question Hi Chapin99,I was wondering if you got the Achromat and how it worked out for you?Maprik | |
| Cartridge Man's "Isolator" - Good for older arms? Made a very nice improvement with my Music Maker III used on a Rega RB600 arm! Everything is cleaner and more subtle details emerged from well known reference recordings. Highly recommended. | |
| Rega P25 Setup Question To eliminate the effect of the spring you have to turn the dial up past 3 not down to 0. Crank it up past 3 and use the weight to set the VTF!!! | |
| Riggle VTAF question I forgot to mention that I just tried the Iron Audio (Sheer Audio) acrylic platter from musicdirect and it was horrible compared to glass and Achromat. I'm sending the acrylic platter back tomorrow!!!!! | |
| Riggle VTAF question You may not want to spend more money but I added a 5mm Funk Firm Achromat on top of the glass platter. This is one of the greatest upgrades I have made to my P25. The Achromat really opens up the soundstage and gives more 3 dimensionality to the r... | |
| Rega P25-best upgrade I would like to chime in here for the record. My experience has been similar to others as far as replacing the subplatter but I have to let everyone know that I found the Iron Audio Acrylic Platter apalling. Sure it tamed the highs a little and to... | |
| Best wood for making an isolation platform? Air dried maple is better than kiln dried. Kiln drying ruptures the cells of the wood while air drying preserves the cellular structure (or so I have read). It is the nature of the cellular structure that gives Maple it's harmonic quality. Regular... |
