| For the first time... Now seriously, which cartridge do you like better. Which one sounds most like your digital? | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewms arguments are correct. What follows is just an opinion. As for what sounds better or as for the Viv arm sounding OK or any other arm sounding OK for that matter has more to do with the sensitivity of our hearing which relative to the best ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @jasonbourne52 1+, The Viv arms extreme tracking angle error will be audible. It's argument that skating is worse is incorrect. Skating can be minimized so that it has no audible effect. If you want to get rid of skating and tracking angle error ... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume Voice coils bottoming out make a "clunk" with a little ring in it. They do not "snap." @stephendunn What are you using for a program source? Does the snap happen at the very same place in the music every time or only when the volume is up? | |
| For the first time... And there folks is the problem. Simao is not an LP collector. In order for LPs to sound better than digital you have to be an LP collector with at least 2000 LPs. Seriously, the only reason to be into records is you already have a pile of them an... | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? @corelli Why did the chicken Cross the street? It was suicidal and hoping to get run over. | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? @noromance The only viable reason I can think of that might cause that would be the spindle oil needs to heat up a little to thin out so the table can reach full speed. In which case I would use thinner spindle oil. Who is to say it is not the car... | |
| Grounding a turntable and a tonearm Justin, where do you live? @noromance may have a point. Dry air allows static to accumulate. Forced hot air systems without humidifiers are static generators. Throw away any paper sleeves as they will gladly donate electrons to PVC. Read about t... | |
| Relative Importance of Analog Components There you go @dogberry, The one thing that can f-ck up a cartridge more than anything else is a bad tonearm. I think there would be less variation between reasonably decent phono stages. However I also believe the most important part of the chain ... | |
| Do Turntables sound better with time? @lewm 1+, There are many reasons the sound of a system can seem to change from barometric pressure and humidity to the mood of the individual at the time. In most cases I do not believe components "Break In." Transducers might but not electronics,... | |
| Relative Importance of Analog Components No argument from me @rauliruegas. There are several turntables of modest cost that can handle any cartridge on the market as long as the tonearm is well designed. Two that come to mind are the Rega RP10 and the Thorens TD 1600. They are not ultim... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @lewm, My guess is zero dB will be too low. The MC diamond with the Setal L requires the high setting and I have 4 choices. The Signature Platinum uses the lowest setting. I think this has more to do with the cartridges impedance than anything. It... | |
| New to vinyl question @pindac , The problem with Amazon is that they have no idea how to package records for transport and I get them with bent covers, warped. They are great on returns but it gets tiring running back and forth. Elusive disc, Acoustic Sounds and Music ... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @neonknight , With the Verismo you'll want to set the gain to high. I doubt you'll feel the need for another cartridge for a long while. The jumpers will not pose much of a problem. | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @neonknight , When I got my Channel D Seta L Plus (a fully balanced unit) I had to change the RCAs to XLRs on my Schroder CB. I did not even have to trim the wires. I just desoldered them from the RCAs and re soldered them to the XLRs. It took may... |
