| How can anyone afford this ? I would suggest that you try to meet with some designers and modifiers of equipment. You can also join an audio club(BAAS in SF) and get to hear a lot of the new equipment without having to buy it. Some people on Audiogon will let you listen to th... | |
| Maple platform under turntable, How thick? On an Ariston tt, I have used 2-inch maple from Mapleshade with their rubber/cork/rubber footers to good effect on wood racks. On amplifiers I believe maple from Mapleshade(air dried) sounds better than butcher block maple. I have 4-inch maple fro... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Robob, I haven't read all the replies, but I have been suprised to find the same sibilance on the cd-meaning that it was in the recording(overloaded mikes?). | |
| suggestions on MM to MC upgrade I too went to the Linto(I)from the Lehmann Black Cube SE. It was a definite upgrade(although I didn't test the two properly). I would suggest that you try the Linn forum or Pink Fish media(?) for suggestions, because you want a cartridge that matc... | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Aguadiem, I hope I caught you in time(before upgrades). I believe that the radikal(or something) should be bought before the keel or ekos SE. You should look into it further. BTW, I believe the general perception in the UK is much different than t... | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Daveyf, you are correct, and you can listen to the differences without seeing a dealer. I believe it's on the Linn forum(you might have to search elsewhere on the Internet.). The main reason(if you can believe it) I got the Linn was to eliminate t... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Johnmcalpin, I use a sistrum stand on top of 4-inch Mapleshade amp stands. My room is carpet over concrete. Unfortunately, I also use a cheap 1 1/2 foot wood speaker stand on top of the sistrum, so I can only hint at what you might want as an answ... | |
| noob TT setup question Anti-skate comes to mind, but I agree it should not be used to "fix" this problem. | |
| Review: Mapleshade Heavyfeat/Heavyhats Tweak I have had good results with their 4-inch maple and brass amp stands under amps(Nuforce) and speakers(various-none acceptable here at Audiogon). I also eliminated the desire to upgrade my Lingo 1 to Lingo 2(not because I had compared the two-just ... | |
| Review: EdenSound Bearpaws Senior Tweak Edensound allows you to try products that you would not normally buy-due to their high cost. It's a good way to try out brass footers. Dan is very easy to talk to. They also had some equipment stands that were very enticing(price-wise). | |
| Dual 721 - Harman Kardon T-60 - which TT to keep? I would take a guess that the T-60 might be more "collectible". I believe there are some (former?) users of the T-60 on this forum that can tell you about its sound. | |
| When does analog compete with digital? My first reaction to this thread was to look at what the turntable was sitting on. So, I guess I agree with Samhar and T_bone. While this might not solve the specific problem, until this is looked at, you will always have a problem. | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along I would suggest you read more on audiogon about anti-skate. I agree that uni-pivots are a different case, and it seems that people who own these arms have to look into it differently. Has someone done anti-skate by ear for uni-pivots? Why would an... | |
| What are your fav “Off Hollywood” films "Northfork", "Birdy", "Crossing Guard", "The Outsiders", and "Rumblefish" might be interesting. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Oneobgyn's system(a few years ago); Magnepan speakers with the old Rega Planar 3; Vandersteen speakers with the original Oracle turntable; some old Infinity speakers with a tweeter that looks like the old Ohm Walsh(this one grew on me); Linn Linto... |
