| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful Apologies for weighing in so late. I would have suggested zeroing-out anti-skate as an experiment to see how it affected the cart. The reason is that there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that excessive anti-skate can trigger induced resonance in... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE No problem Audiofun :) | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Audiofun,You have no sense of humour ;^)Sorry about the misquote.I re-read my post and can see why you might think that but did insert some "winks" as this is the standard way of showing that the post is light-hearted.Ok, you felt earlier that the... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Audiofun, for the record, let me get this straight. You are asserting that your 1200GAE “is FAR BEYOND anything VPI have ever produced” except the one you haven’t heard? Isn’t that a tad disrespectful? Furthermore, you claim that whilst creatin... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Sorry just realised I misspelled Black (K)night.Sacrilege! :) | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Hi Norb.There are a few Black Night users on the forum who will be able to describe the intricacies of that table in detail. Earlier in the thread there was a lot of comment regarding MF's Continuum comparison and being honest some were getting sl... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Norbert,That's quite a leap going from the standard spec 1200gae to TW Black Night or the AF3 with Phantom. If your search radius has expanded to that extent I can guarantee the 1200 in basic form will not satisfy you. (Although I admit I've not h... | |
| VPI Prime 3D arm making noise Just a thought : are you sure it is not the wiring that's creaking? | |
| VPI Prime 3D arm making noise I recall being "corrected" by HW regarding the 3D. He pointed out that the arm uses copper rods as stiffeners at critical points in the tonearm's construction (not malleable copper but the *other* high tensile variety - same stuff as used in plumb... | |
| The all conquering Zerostat Seriously? I'm on my 4th! (Although I've been using them 10 years longer ;^)Admittedly one of them snapped internally just a few hours into service and ended up being replaced. The first one I recall cost me a mere £6-99 but if you upscale by infl... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Lewm you've suggested that the sugar cube is interposed between the cartridge and phono stage but that's not how I read it. They've left cartridge optimisation and equalisation to the phono stage and are expecting to either receive a line level si... | |
| coupling or decoupling of vinyl to/ from platter Interesting. If you look at forum topics regarding the use of 180g for new audiophile releases the general view seems to be exactly the opposite of what Merrill proposes?Folk seem to prefer 120g to heavier vinyl.They also seem to think it is littl... | |
| What kind of lamp to use with a stroboscopic disc? Actually, simple filament bulbs are reactive enough to be adequate for this purpose. However, tolerance on Mains frequency is too coarse for setting up a T/T. What you need is a quartz-locked, hand-held, battery powered LED flasher to get an accur... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Mapman,In Germany a chap called Matthias has been customising Ohm speakers for some years now and he does an active version of the "5000" series (with John’s approval). In Germany, this is a good idea because their Omnidirectional market is much s... | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? That is the purest definition of OCD, my friend.Marketing and Forums have a lot to answer for.... ;^)Substitute the words "melting and reforming" for "digging" and it doesn't seem quite so bad, even if only a half-truth... ;^) |
