| Set-up with two subs and an integrated amp Unfortunately there is no good solution if there are no line level outputs. You are left only with subs that have speaker level inputs which leaves you without a high pass filter a situation totally unacceptable. I would wait on subs until you hav... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm I'm surprised people don't talk more about Clearaudio cartridges. They really are quite excellent. | |
| Cartridge azimuth adjustment using a voltmeter and a test lp Thank you cleeds. Well said and right on the nose. Another problem for the meter people is that the output of the channels is not exactly the same leading to stylus miss alignment. I'm all for the lowest levels of cross talk but not at the sake of... | |
| Who's done it besides me ? Chakster to each his own. Only MM cartridges have removable styli. I know of no MM cartridge including the Ortofon 2M Black that can approach the performance of a modern MC cartridge, or a wood bodied Grado. I have owned all of them, Shure, Picker... | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm Sorry about my typing. Both wrists are in splints. Don't ask. | |
| Cartridges: Kuzma CAR or Lyra on a 4-Point (11") arm The 4 Point is too heavy for the Lyra. The Ortofon Anna and any of the stone bodied Koetsu's. The Dynavector XV 1s would also be a great match. I have to hear one of those one day. People do love them. I you want to run a Lyra the 4 Point 9 is the... | |
| Who's done it besides me ? The Stanton has an aluminum baseball bat for a cantilever. Bend it enough and it will tear. Boron is very strong but brittle. Go far enough and they just snap. They stick the cantilever out there so that there are no reflections off the body. Lyra... | |
| Is room treatment a science? Bout time I spoke up.Yes, it is science. No, there is no perfect room. Yes there is a method to the madness. Finally, there is always a trial and error period based on what the individual likes to hear. Everything is based on reflected sound. Earl... | |
| Catridge for sme 30/2 Boy, that is a big jump! You're gonna love this. It has a V arm on it right?That is a light arm which is OK, you can always add weight. I love ortofon cartridges particularly the Windfeld Ti. But, in this case I would prefer the Clearaudio Concert... | |
| Relaxing Records for Better Sound - Using the AFI FLAT I do not have any warped records. If I get one that is warped I send it back. Records that are stored upright under moderate pressure out of any direct light or heat source do not warp.I would like someone to explain to me how heating up a record ... | |
| Another Request for Information/Knowledge Chakster hit it on the head. Increase the VTF until the distortion goes away. You do not want that stylus rattling around in the groove as that will damage your records. If it is a linear contact stylus it will safely operate at higher VTF. I have... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? Johnss, My records are never touched by any cleaning device or fluid. Just a conductive sweep arm and the stylus. Excuse me. Some of my very old albums were treated with Last. I stopped when I figured out that it was not doing a darn thing. Maybe ... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? MC, I have two 911s and neither one squeals. One is ceramic and it is supposed o have a reputation for that. The other one will grind just starting out if the brakes got wet but no squeal. It has Girodisc rotors on it and Centric pads. | |
| Do we ask too much of our audio systems? dtapo, no, we are not asking too much but under the best circumstancesit takes spending at least $100K to get there from a sonic perspective but there is a visual aspect here also. When people listen to my system sound only they are generally amaz... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? Johnss, I have looked at many new records under a binocular microscope and have seen no such residue. The occasional finger print, some dust but no calcium carbonate. You see these round crystals in horse urine. I look for calcium pyruvate crystal... |
