| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Dertonarm, i'm not surprised with your experience with isolation such as the Vibraplane and Minus-K. i will be very interested in your audition of the Halcyonics. 4 years ago i had a Halcyonics in my room for an evening and it was very eye opennin... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables I know its not popular, but go and try once for heaven's sake a plinth which is suspended with low resonance frequency - below 3Hz.It is not the plinth weight, composition or raw material - isolate it from any outside vibration and your eyes will ... | |

| Looking for reasonably priced sound diffusion. i just noticed this thread. recently i did install Auralex T-Fusors on my side walls. two years ago i installed RPG Skylines on my backwall. here are some posts from my system page which might be helpful on this subject;i realize i likely need dif... | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? in 1966, while in High School, i puchased a Wollensack 3M stereo reel to reel tape deck. i've been in the hobby on and off since then. really hard core, full tilt boogie audiophile since 94'. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms?

| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF Norm,i don't presume to be at Steve's level in cartridge set-up proceedure. i had my 120 hour A90 on that same Triplaner arm that Steve used on his 40 hour A90. we had had it set at 2.21 grams in my system on the Garrard. we had tried VTF's down t... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Changster;back in 1999--2001 i owned a Clearaudio Insider Gold. it was an excellent cartridge at the time and replaced my much loved (and only recently sold) Koetsu RSP in my sustem. then i was exposed to the vdH Colibri; which suplanted the Insid... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF Norm,my quest is only what sounds most real....in all seriousness. i don't have any pre-concieved notion on VTF. it either sounds best or it does not. i do think that only over time and open-minded listening and experimentation can the most ideal ... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF both A90's, one on the Rockport with VTF at 2.06 grams with 65 hours on it, and the other one on the Garrard/Reed 2P with VTF at 1.56 grams with 120 hours on it, are still sounding stellar 10 days later.Steve Dobbins took the 3rd A90 (which had be... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Dertonarm,i tried my best to not make my post personal in any way....as all your posts have been made with respect and class. i don't mean to cause you to defend or explain yourself.i just felt that when you posted that comment that it needed to b... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Otherwise you will find very few sonic statements in any of my postsa profound thought for sure....which caused me pause.after i read the above comment i sat for awhile and pondered exactly why it bothered me so much. i have yet to answer that que... | |
