| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @lewm With the program I use, you snap a line exactly parallel to the cantilever then another through the long axis of the stylus. It should read 90 degrees. All my current cartridges are 90 degrees within the error of the process. I just starte... | |
| Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch The Weiss 501 @ $10,000 is not a great value. The DEQX Pre 8, an 8 channel unit that will retail for $13,000, does everything the 501 does and a lot more. It has a 4 way crossover, speaker and room control and a phono input. It is also better cons... | |
| Subwoofers: Ported or sealed? Sure. Porting a woofer or subwoofer is a way of pushing the speaker down lower flat. The problem is they roll off quickly below that. Sealed subs and woofers are less efficient, start rolling off earlier, but continue on down lower than ported spe... | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? Classic Audio's T 1.5 Reference by a mile. All the others are wishful thinking. SET ready, high impedance, field coils and all. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @intactaudio If you go to my system page. There is a picture of the front end with a bunch of records. To the left is my desk. On it you can see the microscope and the special light I use with it. Further over out of the picture is my workstation. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @intactaudio By the way JR and I are pen pals. He modified the WallyScope due to a recommendation of mine. The head unit of my scope started out life as a WallyScope. @lewm TAE is bad, so isn't skating. The approach taken by the majority of ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @intactaudio Simple, I have a very powerful USB microscope and a computer program that allows me to snap lines and it automatically determines angles. I detail each and every cartridge I buy. If there is an error I correct for it, but frankly al... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @intactaudio I have a hard time believing that the distortion created by the underhung arm is euphonic. But, whatever. My approach is always to setup my system with a scientific approach. In order to determine what is going on with the Viv arm I... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @drbarney1 Hi Sir. Have you looked at the Schroder LT. Brilliant design! Then there is the Reed 5A and 5T. The only other solution would be a tangential straight line tracker, but that one is difficult to pull off. There is not a satisfactory o... | |
| Vinyl record storage in Harvey's office, Suits TV show @lewm Would you like me to refill your Sildenafil? Why would you ever want to hide those lovely records? Nobody has ever asked me why I did not put doors on my cabinets. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, I do not think anyone has mentioned the Rogers LS3 5A, the little speaker that could. If you have never heard these with properly integrated subwoofers you have no idea what you are missing. We had these set up next to a huge pair of Dunlavys. Peo... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I think Lew is a brave man for trying something as offbeat as the Viv arm. The ideal arm would make no sacrifices. It would have zero TAE and zero skating. It would have frictionless, noiseless bearings and perfectly rigidity. It would have singl... | |
| 16 Channel Mixer… Questions and Concerns about dig mixer in chain @cabkab Get a Lynx Hilo. It is a DAC, ADX and mixer, a very high quality one. It is also a commercial device used in many studios. I have one in my HiFi and am totally pleased with it. It does not have 16 channels, but it does not sound like yo... | |
