Fyne Speakers now in the USA
Luxmancl35, the presence control is a notch filter centered on about 3 kHz turning it down will damped sibilance. Just a stones throw. I've never been in that store. I frequent Fidelis in Nashua on occasion. I have an idea. You buy the Fyne F1-12s... 
SOTA Cosmos and other models - lean sounding?
Absolutely no argument montaldo. Nobody can know what accurate is because they were not there at the time of the recording as you suggest. It is chasing an illusion. "Sounds real" and "accurate" are in reality isolated from each other. There are a... 
Aesthetix + AtmaSphere
You better watch out now Ralph. I got castrated in an earlier post for saying that cartridges were intrinsically balanced. I just got excoriated for saying that a stylus encounters friction in the groove and generates static electricity.  
static Issues...anybody know why?
And, because I know how stubborn you are geoffkait, if you don't believe Shure maybe The Last Factory will do. https://thelastfactory.com/last-record-preservative/how-do-i-get-rid-of-static-on-vinyl-records-i-e-static-cling/  
static Issues...anybody know why?
Geoffkait, you have to be kidding. I must be that gullible. Why does a tonearm skate? Oh I suppose you are one of those that does not believe in anti skating. What does geometry have to do with it? VTF maybe. Does a turntable belt rub against the ... 
Turntable/Tonearm choices
1+ rsf507 Frank Kuzma is an incredible engineer with a very creative mind. The 4 point is an ingenious design and probably has the best review history of any tonearm ever made. The Stabi R may be the most flexible turntable ever made. It has a top... 
Fyne Speakers now in the USA
Their web site does not list any American dealers yet. The F1-12 is a very intriguing loudspeaker and looks very nicely made. It should image beautifully. They are also no joke costing something like $30,000/pr.For high efficiency point source peo... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
The Cornwall (can be used in a CORNer or against a WALL) is essentially a big Heresy and a great sounding loudspeaker. I desperately wanted a pair when I was 17 but could only afford the Heresys. It has less of a phase problem than the K horn and ... 
Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other
You bet montaldo. You would replace the ones you have and you will see that Sowter makes several versions aimed at different cartridge impedance's. The one I suggested is the right one for your Koetsu. It is a simple installation. I have no doubt ... 
SOTA Cosmos and other models - lean sounding?
1+ mulveling. People who use idler wheel turntables either don't like bass or don't have subwoofers. They all rumble like express trains. They are why rumble filters were invented in the first place!montaldo, we all get that urge for a change. It ... 
static Issues...anybody know why?
Wow guys, anybody here know how a Van de Graaff generator works?What do you do when you want to shock your little sister....hows about rub your feet on the carpet. I'll leave it to you science nerds to look up why FRICTION causes static. Now I won... 
What is the Best Tool to Measure Cartridge Azimuth?
The most accurate way is an oscilloscope. Using a Fozgometer is second. My problem with it is the price. Both methods align the coils with the record not the stylus. If there is one manufacturing inconsistency that worries me most is the stylus no... 
static Issues...anybody know why?
norman, yes that will work but is a bit messy. Geoffkait with two fs you have that backwards. The record transfers the charge to the sleeve. Sleepwalker has it right. The most effective way to control static is to discharge it as soon as it is for...
