| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono Lew,you can do the same thing with interconnects that a mono switch will do. so it's not a limitation not having a mono switch.you simply have to rid yourself of the ground loop. | |
| Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's like Syntax, i have the Acoustic Revive RL-30 MkIII disc demag unit. i also have the Walker Talisman, a RTR tape head demag unit, and also a Tourmaline bead Hair Dryer device with some special tweaks.all these devices have a positive effect on Lp ... | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono obviously Robin is the expert here. i had the same problem with my Miyajima Premium Mono, called Robin, and he gave me the same answer.i've been listening that way for 6+ months and works great.enjoy!stunningly good sounding cartridge. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy D,welcome to the left coast. if you get up here toward Seattle please stop by.i too have preference for DD and idler, and while i have no experience with thread/high inertia i defer to your perspective about it. i think that speed is like noise fl... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy when i compare various turntables to the same recording on my Studer A820 it's easy to hear which turntables get the closest to matching the soliditiy of the music on the Studer.Nojima Plays Listz is a very good recording of Piano on Lp, and is a ... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Hi Mike, My remarks to Doug were merely meant to indicate that there is some question in my mind whether the cartridge vibrations have an unimpeded path into the wood arm tube in the first place. If the mechanical energy put out by the cartridge c... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? the vinyl front end i use is less than the $72k that Ralph mentions for the digital at RMAF. but my point was that all levels (price points) of vinyl playback have improved. a $5k or $10k vinyl front end can sound terrific. just 10 years ago the s... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Do you really think vinyl playback has progressed much if at all over the last 50 years? How about 20?the biggest improvement in digital music reproduction happened over 10 years ago; dsd and SACD. when it came out i jumped in big time. now 10 yea... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar even though i'm likely at the top of Romy's list of morons (and have been proudly on that list for 10 years), i find him mostly entertaining even when i'm the target. i never take his comments personally. just to set the record straight; Mr. Feil'... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Unoear,thanks for the heads up.alas; i now only have 1 turntable with spots for only 2 arms....and both spots are taken. but if i get a chance to investigate a Phantom II Supreme i'll check it out. | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar i hope you all get a chance to hear a Telos.wood arm wand? single bolt holding the cartidge plate to the arm wand?either the Telos is the least distorted piece of audio gear i've yet heard in spite of those handicaps or because, in part, of those ... | |
| Kuzma 4Point Tri-Planar Syntax already has the Graham Phantom II Supreme - I would name it the best uni-pivot so far.i'll echo Doug Deaton about the Triplaner VII, but my experience was with the Durand Talea 1 not the Talea 2...i had only the "1" when i still had the Tri... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? i've not read every post above, so forgive me if this has already been said.to me the issue is which format is most complete. which is different than most accurate. sampling (digital) can be accurate but it's inherently less complete. there are ga... | |
| Why are modern arms so ugly? there are more beautiful and more elegant, higher build quality tonearms, and less beautiful and less elegant, and lower build quality tonearms, but from my perspective they are all beautiful and elegant. i'm trying to think of a tonearm which doe... | |
| What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built? having never heard a Studer C37, or an Ampex 350/351 for that matter, i can't say whether they might sound the best for playback. in fact; those i know that have the most experience say to me that those 50's and 60's machines actually make the bes... |
