| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? @rooze, I am very familiar with the Debut Signature. The ET2 will cause the suspension to wobble as it's mass is in the wrong location. Both the ET 2 and the Graham 2.2 are poor tonearms for different reasons. Aside from current Basis arms the Kuz... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I have no trouble understanding @rauliruegas and in general I tend to agree with him but other than, " I do not believe that the members of this thread realize what they are talking about," I have no idea what @nandric is trying to say. Is this j... | |
| Turntables Deviations from conventional thinking are usually not a good ideas. There are exceptions and the P10 is not one of them. It is however an excellent turntable for the money with a very decent tonearm. To achieve the best performance from it it woul... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? @gyneguy225 , cartridges are balanced devices! All you have to do to use a balanced phono stage is solder XLRs to your tonearm wires. It would take me about 15 minutes. The only arms you can't do this to in my knowledge are the Rega arms. The Ku... | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room The paradigms are too small for a room that size. Something like the Klipsch Cornwalls will work nicely and are in about the same price range. They also require a lot less power. They will make the amp you have sound more powerful. I would still a... | |
| What is the best tonearm for a SOTA Nova turntable? @gyneguy225 , First off, good digital is always going to sound better than even the finest analog. My mistake. I should have said," is always going to be more accurate." Personally, I am into records because I have thousands of them collected over... | |
| Early SOTA vs New Something: Conundrum @rwbadley , Then you are stuck just like me. You have a great turntable that deserves a much better arm and cartridge that it has. If you do what it deserves you will be spending a lot more than a new Technics 1200G. If you get a Kuzma 4 Point 9 t... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas , I average about two records a week or 8-9 monthly. My guess is 75% new and 25% reissue. What happens in the future is no concern of mine but I agree the era of vinyl records will end eventually, certainly by the end of this century.... | |
| Direct Drive @lewm, Correct, the belt is a first order filter so the attenuation would be 6 dB/oct. But, by the time you get up to the vibration generated by the motor nothing gets through to the platter. The motor platform or bracket is attached to what Sot... | |
| Direct Drive @sokogear , I am a proponent of Schroder arms. I have one but, the CB is $1000 more than the 4 Point 9 and I was trying to showcase the Sapphire in the least expensive combination I would find expectable. Making sense is an assumption. Assumptio... | |
| Direct Drive @sokogear , Why? A Sota Sapphire with a Kuzma 4 Point 9 is $8000. The Thorens is 1/2 the price. | |
| Why don't we tire of music? @quincy , it is instinctive. We are programmed to listen to music for a number of reasons. We do get tired of the same music over and over again. Stimulus variation applies. | |
| Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle @painter24 , you bet. I feel I might save some souls. What would be my other motive? I don't sell anything. Some people think I'm just another a-s h-le so, it certainly does not do my reputation any favor. It is a lot of fun sending some people ov... | |
| Direct Drive @sokogear , Yes, that is what I said. @lewm , accepted. I know exactly what speed my platter is running at to 1/1000th of an RPM. The turntable tells me in bright green LEDs. The motor is not mounted to the sub chassis. It is mounted on a separat... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @r_f_sayles "our ears and tastes are too varied." That is a lame excuse. More accurate is always better. If I play a hi fidelity recording of an oncoming train on a table radio you will not jump out of the way. You will know instantly that it is ... |
