| Help deciding which TT Jeff, even with loudspeakers that have an early bass rolloff (bookshelves, electrostats etc), Users generally feel the use of an external sub-woofer is unhelpful when it comes to music.Sensibly applied it is, however, possible.My Martin Logan Vant... | |
| Help deciding which TT Maybe this is the answer. It doesn't have a shelf at all...http://www.rega.co.uk/turntable-wall-bracket.htmlCheers, | |
| Help deciding which TT Some questions that may help the troubleshooters :- Is your shelf between the speakers or in a corner?(Placing it halfway along a load-bearing solid wall will minimise the effect)- How far away is the T/T (& cartridge) from the nearest speaker... | |
| Is this a good leveling tool? If you have a suspended table think twice about using an 8" level. It'll imbalance the suspension and give a mis-read.Try these instead, in mirrored positions on the platter.They are so light they won't affect the platter.http://www.russandrews.co... | |
| Graham Engineering Phantom III 9 That's a bit like saying, "Who would ever bend the cantilever on their cartridge?" ;^)In 40 years of this hobby I've never done such a thing but it doesn't mean it couldn't happen. The fragility of ceramic is well known... | |
| Graham Engineering Phantom III 9 Just so that people don't misunderstand the question the 9" titanium armwand became standard from the mkII onwards (although some of the early ones may have escaped and were still ceramic).Some felt the ceramic ones sounded better than titanium ve... | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Hi Elinor,For those who "allow" their wives to handle their gear (turntables!), I was suggesting it could be tricky for her if she's just greased herself up :)No, actually I'm one of the "undamped Brigade" who allows the record to vibrate freely a... | |
| record weight .... correct weight? You do realise you've just panicked half of the weight-wielding Audiophiles out there :)You've got them sweating over the ongoing health of their Goldfingers and A95s...especially if the Wife has just used moisturising lotion.. ;^) :) | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Could be a matter of convenience(?) but if their gear was sonically disadvantaged by not using clamps & weights you'd think they'd want it to be fully "tricked up" to impress the punters...? | |
| funk acromat turntable mat Hi Joey,Did the Classic come with a bonded platter mat or did you choose the Achromat for a particular reason?Kind regards, | |
| funk acromat turntable mat Joey,If you're using a VPI(for example) then the Achromat will be doing you no favours at all, you're better off with a bare platter.The only thing I can say in the Achromat's favour is that it has a slightly lower noise floor than all other mats ... | |
| Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun? Sorry FM....I should have put the £ sign in front of that number. (Even then the dealers would probably charge us £4K these days...) :( | |
| Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun? Can't argue with that, Slaw ;^)Although they say the KL machine has all the advantages of the AD but is developing a greater reputation for reliability. The only problem I can see with the KL is the 3K asking price :ODon't think I haven't thought ... | |
| Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun? Whart is clearly the most sensible guy here :D :D...although I'd be even more concerned about the phono stage input when there are high voltages floating around.Having said this, cantilevers must be soaking up static discharges from LPs that have ... | |
| Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun? Indeed Margot, I would think the ion "stream" would find the platter spindle to be the most attractive target.By way of illustration, if you examined an open-reel tape deck rewinding a tape, in complete darkness, you would see very fine miniature ... |
