| SOTA Sapphire aquired You can actually bang the table from the side and it won't skip! SOTA can supply you with a new dust cover but if the old one is not to badly damaged you can wet sand it with silicon carbide paper starting with 220 grit taking it down to 2000 grit... | |
| Turntable mat options Chakster I'll bet you have the strongest trigger finger in townUberwaltz, did I say that? Smart guy. Some mats may be better or worse at collecting static depending on where their material falls in the triboelectric series. A vinyl mat would be he... | |
| Upgrades to Sota Cosmos IV Yes I have the Eclipse package. The improvements in sound are indirect and have to do with speed consistency. Older motors you can adjust the speed with a strobe. If you put the strobe disc on top a record with the speed set you will see the speed... | |
| Billy Cobham Question Yes, I think qdrone is right. My copy has none of that. | |
| Need advice on new TT Of course it would be great audiotroy, because you are selling it. There is nothing special here except a different look and a plinth that is patently silly if you want to avoid resonance problems. All that you mention is marketing BS. Have fun se... | |
| Need advice on new TT Interesting choice of tables. The wave Kinetic is a fabulous table but I am very nervous with used tables. It does not take much to damage a bearing.Of the three you have chosen I think the AMG is the best. I do not like turntables with separated ... | |
| Upgrades to Sota Cosmos IV jazzco1, I have a Cosmos. I would most definitely get the total eclipse package. If your pump is working well leave it alone. I always love new cartridges but the cost of a good cartridge is way more than the eclipse upgrade. What arm and cartridg... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? Exactly, TIM was the same situation. We all heard something wrong then they finally figured out what it was and how to measure it. But this is not what we are talking about here. We are talking about differences people hear when there is nothing w... | |
| SME 20/2 Static Electricity Another joke. Lewm, I'm on your side on this one. Spraying anything on your record is a bad idea and it will not stop the static problem neither will grounded mats. A mat will only discharge one side of the record, the wrong side. There is no magi... | |
| A suggestion for MM/MC cartridge manufacturers Scotch:) | |
| Turntable mat options Unberwaltz, absolutely correct. The best turntable system sounds like NOTHING. The only thing you should be listening to is the cartridge. nothing else. The mat is not so much the issue as the way the record is being held down. I do not think anyo... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. The Da Vinci arm is a very nicely made waste of time unless you want to rig your own anti skating device which for that kind on money is unforgivable. There are many great arms that do not have that problem and for less money. If you already have ... | |
| SME is leaving the OEM and aftermarket/retail tonearm business. snackeyp, it all depends on the cartridge. With most modern moving coil cartridges a Tri Planar arm will sound better unless some mass is added to the SME. If you set the resonance frequency of both arms to be exactly the same with the same cartri... | |
| SME 20/2 Static Electricity snackeyp, I have a 30/12. I live in New England and as soon as he heat starts running the relative humidity drops like a rock and static charges everywhere become worse. Look up triboelectric series and you will notice that vinyl is way down at th... | |
| Anybody tried solid silver wire as a jumper on Maggies? Magnepan LRS or other models? meiatflast, It would not make any difference at all. The length of the jumper is too short. |
