| VTF Question for dummies Crubio....if you set the A/S before VTF, you'll be lucky if the arm remains on the table long enough to measure it ;^) | |
| Graham Phantom , simple tweak for improved sound I spotted this during another search and decided to give it a shot. I found the experience useful. Although the sound was excellent when "loosely set", I found that barely "nipping" the screw up by 1 degree was slightly better - not a massive impr... | |
| New Magnepan 3.7 i ? BTW...the Krell wasn't actually requested as it was the default setup that had been arranged for other customers. I was mightily impressed by its abilities nevertheless!I believe they're now releasing an s550 integrated so that might be an interes... | |
| New Magnepan 3.7 i ? My pleasure m8. No, believe it or not we were using a budget Krell for the 3.7i audition, whereas the 3.7 benefitted from a more substantial amplifier (I-700)that was over twice the price. Just to complicate matters the 3,7i audition was in a diff... | |
| New Magnepan 3.7 i ? Brownsfan, your worries are over....I auditioned the 1.7s and 3.7s at the time of their release. The 3.7 was particularly of interest. I took my wife along to the dealership for a second opinion. Using my own Curved Air CD I felt Sonya's voice was... | |
| Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all? A while back I seem to remember someone mentioning that Bob favoured the Stevenson. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the Graham jig. For example there is a popular belief that the graticule window weight corresponds to average downfor... | |
| Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all? Hi Mulveling,Just to check my own sanity I had another look and it depends on where I take the reference point on the weight?If the centre of the weight was ref it would be roughly 2/3. If the nearest face to the pivot was ref then it would be sli... | |
| Graham Phantom Anti-Skate. Is it effective at all? Dear Mulveling & Benjie,My experience with a MkII Phantom (9") echoes Mulvelings.I found that slightly more bias force was required than I expected. So, for a 1.76g VTF I would have expected it to be <2/3 x MAX along the shaft but it was mo... | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? Thanks Bob...sounds interesting. :) | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? Dear Dave & Harold,Many thanks for the feedback. Looks like I may have been premature and unfair in my summation and perhaps should have tuned the Resomat a little? ;)It may be that subconsciously I was thinking of the effects of offset centre... | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? Hi Geoff,Good point. Full sized cork mats are widely renowned as having desirable sonic properties and some manufacturers just install cork mats on the platter as default even to the extent of bonding them on permanently.Of course, that just takes... | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? Hi Harold,There are qualities about the Resomat that I like. Sibilance is not what I'd describe as excessive, just a whisker more than I'm accustomed to. On the face of it both mats are unconventional being mostly suspended in air. It's obviously ... | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? Sorry to report that the outcome of the Resomat comparison was disappointing. ďTheoretically my thick, heavy composite, non-resonant platter was a match made in heaven and the ideal platform for the Resomat to show off its wares so there was a gre... | |
| turntable mats: should I use one? Harold...I just ordered the Resomat to add to my collection. I'd never heard of it before but cheers for the heads up m8 :)I'll be comparing it to my existing (undamped) mat.If I like it, it could become permanent. :)The idea of parking the LP on ... | |
| TW Acustic Turntable Mat You're most welcome Suteetat :)Downunder...if I had a BN platter I probably wouldn't soil it with a mat either :) ;)Milimetr...Experimenters place a lot of reliance on the mechanical impedance of vinyl/acryl mats being ideal but that doesn't mean ... |
