| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? IMHO, I think it was a combination of the wrong electronics and the speakers weren't broken-in yet. These will take several hundred hours to be fully operational and sound good.I've never really been a fan of the Revel stuff, but I know they can s... | |
| how do you set VTA onthe SME 309 tonearm? Those really aren't meant to be "tamper proof" screws. They are just what SME uses and the tool is included with all the arms. It's not rocket science. | |
| What speakers are these? Those are definitely not B&W. They look off brand to me, like Monoprice or Parts Express or some smaller manufacturer.Also, the picture you provided of the front has a hole in the foam surround of the woofer. | |
| how do you set VTA onthe SME 309 tonearm? To add to Tom's comments above, the OP never asked about a tool. He asked how to set the VTA of the arm. I bet he already has the wrench. He justed needed to know how to raise and lower the arm post.Tom even showed him where the screws were in the... | |
| sub question The tape out has no volume control in the signal path, so you wouldn't be able to control the output to the sub. You could do this, but you would have to adjust the sub's volume from the sub itself to match the main speakers. I guess, if you happe... | |
| how do you set VTA onthe SME 309 tonearm? Zd542...SME supplies a special wrench for these screws. These are the correct screws to both move the arm forward and back and up and down.I was a SME dealer for many years and have owned quite a few different SME arms through the years. | |
| Records with words with the letter S are slurred Sibilance is usually caused by turntable/tonearm/cartridge misalignment. Maybe recheck your setup.If with other sources and/or all sources, then speakers, cables, speaker room placement, plus a lot more. | |

| Input sensitivity, Gain and Preamp matching I'm sure Al (Almarg) will see this. He is the master at these type of questions. Whatever he says, listen to his advice. | |
| Tonarm rewire service Michael at Brit Audio is fantastic. I don't know if he does Pioneer arms though. He's one of the best for Rega's and other higher end arms. Contact him and see. | |
| Do you let your vinyl rest after playing? No, not really. | |
| Tidal Streaming Service Tidal launched here in the US back in November. I jumped on board the first day.There are quite a few threads on here about Tidal, (the search function is your friend).Tidal just had a huge press conference at 5PM yesterday in New York to announce... | |
| SOTA I-clamp vs Reflex clamp Mhighley96...I don't think your Thorens has quite enough mass for a reflex clamp. That clamp really needs a massive, heavy table to work properly.I would recommend a weight instead. The Aluminati is fantastic and would work very well with your TD1... | |
| SOTA I-clamp vs Reflex clamp The Reflex clamp is way better than the i-Clamp. With the i-Clamp you just push down on it and turn the little knob on the top to keep it from moving.The Reflex clamp actually grabs onto the spindle and when you lock it down it forces it's way dow... |
