| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @antinn I reviewed that article. It is unfortunately defective on a number of fronts. They are choosing the data that substantiate their claim instead of the other way around. A good example of this is Fig 23. They show three different situations.... | |
| Professional Turntable Set Up in Kentucky? Guys, There are some people that are all thumbs and they know better than to start doing this stuff themselves. Some even have a tremor that prevents then from even trying. You spend $5K on a cartridge that can be broken is a heartbeat. Risking it... | |
| New AT cartridge thoughts/question ~@bkeske, I think he is looking for a mechanism to placate the population. He is in business to sell cartridges. He can not just come out and attack people's sensibilities. Another thing. This is not rocket science. Phonograph cartridges are very ... | |
| New AT cartridge thoughts/question @bkeske, If break in does not exist which, is essentially what he is saying for his cartridges at least then what causes it? Without saying it he has implied that it is psychological. As for his other possible mechanisms they are laughable. Styli ... | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension That could definitely rip your stylus off. (the Onzow)Daveyf, the ultimate was 3+3's. I could not afford them back when they were available and they did not make very many of them, but you could stack 3's. When you make the speaker 8 feet tall it ... | |
| Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system? @mglik a "huge" difference, no. Noticeable? Probably, but for sure the Tri Planar is a very cool arm and well designed. Nothing like pride in ownership. Next you need a pair of Ralph's MA 2 amplifiers:) | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension @teo_audio, do you have specs on the cartridge? How much are you asking. Pictures? | |
| Tensegrity principles applied to turntable support? Interesting. Looks to me like it could be made to work. | |
| Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now Amazon usually packs records in an oversized bow with balloons. The record slides around in there damaging the corners of the cover.Elusive disc uses special cardboard record mailers. I have never gotten a damaged disc from them. I only order reco... | |
| New AT cartridge thoughts/question bkeske, How would a stylus "adjust itself." I could understand the suspension adjusting itself. Thing is why would this always make a cartridge sound better? Why not worse? Ledermann thinks "break in" is purely psychological. He avoids saying it d... | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? For small rooms and tight budgets mini's on stands are they way to go. Just add subwoofers down the line and things get very serious.Roger's LS3 5A's are the classic. I like the Harbeth's. Have not heard the LS 50's. I'm not sure what "near field"... | |
| Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system? @hilda45, I think we have a misunderstanding? I just think that "good enough" has to be interpreted on an individual basis. My version of "good enough" does not care about price. So my version seeks the best possible design which I probably can no... | |
| Oracle Audio Technologies Yes, it is a sharp looking turntable. I had one when it first came out, but the original had some problems so I did not keep it long. I'm sure it is a lot better now. The only remaining issue is that, like Sota you are limited to short arms only. ... | |
| Stylus stuck in groove 1+ Justmetoo You learn something everyday. Plain Tightbond (not Tightbond 3!) will not stick to vinyl. It will peel right off taking everything with it. I'm going to try it on an old record, but I only have Tightbond 3 in the shop which polymerize... | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension Just for yuks I took USB microscope pictures of the cantilever and posted them on on my systems page. I think I know how it failed. There was no glue between the end of the cantilever and the diamond, just the surrounding glue which was very thin ... |
