| Springs under turntable Then I did not present it correctly, my fault. If I had an EM I would not let anybody near it either:)Uberwaltz, you REALLY need a Schroder CB on your Avid. Your other turntables will become conversation pieces. It would be very expensive to make ... | |
| Internal Wire Upgrade for SME V Hearsay is dangerous in the audio world. The "service expert" is just as likely to damage the arm as anybody. Accidents happen. The SME V has been around for a long time and there are many on the used market. Just like cars audio hobbiests love to... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration If you were going to put something like an old V15 you might need it. Cartridges that compliant are rare now a days. Perhaps the troughs ring.I would take them off also. I just don't like miscellaneous junk hanging from my tone arm. Frank Schrode... | |
| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) Get two subwoofers, one will drive you nuts. If you are using a larger driver in a properly designed sealed enclosure servo is not necessary. The larger the driver the lower the distortion because the larger driver does not have to move as far sta... | |
| Internal Wire Upgrade for SME V Thank you Chakster! Keegiam, unless a wire is broken leave well enough alone. The SME is a fine tonearm. All tonearms are relatively delicate devices. It is not hard to injure a bearing. If that happens you have a Christmas tree ornament. | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration Right on Chakster. If a cartridge is properly matched to the tonearm damping is not required. It is just a messy proposition. The only time you really need it is with linear trackers that do not have a mechanized carriage Like the Kuzma Air line. ... | |
| Insurance - your experiences Dustcanblue, it all depends on what kind of policy you buy. Replacement cost insurance is more expensive. An agent who is trying to get your business by keeping the cost down might not even tell you about it. Anyone with a big system and collectio... | |
| Springs under turntable Yes Lewm, but they can not see Sh-t if the specimen is not held perfectly still, a mechanical issue. | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration Anti skate should be in the vicinity of 10 % of the VTF. The most accurate way of measuring it is with a Wally Skater. https://www.wallyanalog.com/wallyskater The only problem with the Wally Skater is its price. A test record is much cheaper. I ow... | |
| has anybody else noticed this about singers? Louis started singing because he was having a hard time playing the horn like he did in the old days. You have to go way back to get an idea what this guy did with a trumpet. His singing was unique to say the least. He managed to pull it off. Bein... | |
| Better Cartridge/Turntable advice for old-school Hip Hop music Hoangkhoi1207, Nothing wrong with that turntable. More than likely your old table had a peak in the bass you got use too. You are looking for some bop. I can understand that. You need a second subwoofer and some expert set up help. Once you have a... | |
| Are all Audiophiles masocists? Mitch, We live in New Hampshire. We have cycled in Italy twice. Once in the Dolomite's and once through Tuscany. Going down is a thrill bordering on scary. God bless disc brakes. I hit 55 mph on one straight. The Stelvio has 48 switch backs and ea... | |
| Glue from inner sleeves leeching onto records rich121, I have never seen this happen. Is there some source of heat by the records?You obviously need to replace the liners. Take apart a sleeve and expose the glue. You have to find a solvent that will dissolve the glue. First try isopropyl alco... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Violins have a very wide frequency range which always passes through a cross over to separate midrange and tweeter drivers. My guess is this disrupts the ultra fine detail these instruments have. My daughter is an accomplished violinist. When we b... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings 6119, the two parts of any system that are likely to create this problem, are the cartridge and the loudspeakers. This is where good MC cartridges with fine line styli shine. I love Maggies but they are not the last word in detail. This is where E... |
