| Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5 Often these threads inspire references to the Mint Tractor.I would expect a protractor to give good tracing of the stylus tip across the ideal arc when aligned but does the Mint detect whether your cantilever & generator are misaligned with th... | |
| Tron Seven Phono David12...if you don't mind my asking, what was the problem with your Raven One? | |
| Headshell Washers : Nylon or Stainless Steel? Hi Sksos1,I can understand why using lighter materials may help in this regard. Interestingly, in the distant past the trend was in the opposite direction i.e. people were changing from alum to stainless steel because of the tighter more rigid con... | |
| Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5 Another thing to consider is the captive arm cable, Pierre...Electrically a benefit perhaps(?) but not helpful when trying to change the cartridge or merely tighten/adjust the cartridge screws (assuming that we do it the advisable way and remove t... | |
| Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5 Hi Pierre,As mentioned earlier...http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1263686265&&&/TW-Acustic-Arm | |
| Headshell Washers : Nylon or Stainless Steel? ....pass the smelling salts... :D :DStrangely enough, Doug, I lived with an LP12 for 25 yrs and it was amazingly convenient. The Ittok as you know is fixed azimuth so we just had to hope the carts were true. Apart from making summer-winter one-off... | |
| Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5 Pierre...if it's of help, there is a huge thread on the merits/demerits of the TW arm. It's clearly a well manufactured and thought out design but there are plenty of others.The Phantom, as you say, has a known synergy with the Raven (I use one my... | |
| Headshell Washers : Nylon or Stainless Steel? John_G....I'd be lying if I didn't admit your response has got me worried. This is a blatant encouragement to the OCD side of my personality... :o)All the best.... | |
| Headshell Washers : Nylon or Stainless Steel? Excellent feedback. Stanwal, your view echoes my own gut feelings on the matter. For years I've been trying to wean myself off the habit of making everything "Linn-tight" i.e. tighten it until it breaks then slacken off :DÂ….So now I just "nip" the... | |
| Linn lp12 The motor in my old LP12 ran for over 20 yrs without any sign of trouble (still running now several years after I sold it). After switch on I would leave it running continuously for 5 or 6 hours, usually giving it a small assist on startup (but no... | |
| Is there a problem with my Lyra Delos cartridge? Hi Montgomery...sorry to hear that this problem is still giving you headaches. There is a clue in the manual for checking SRA on the Delos : If you look at the cart from the side during play, the stylus should appear to be, under ideal VTF conditi... | |
| Is there a problem with my Lyra Delos cartridge? Just a thought - does this happen with only 180g or other weights too? Do you adjust VTA for thicker discs?You mentioned that you're on the upper limit of VTF for the Delos. Sometimes we can exceed that if VTA is unfavourable? I've certainly excee... | |
| Is there a problem with my Lyra Delos cartridge? 360 hrs on my Delos and no problems. Looks & sounds fine. | |
| Kate Bush Dear Actus...I strongly agree regarding the D/Cut. I was delighted with it and felt at the very least it provides an alternative viewpoint.When I googled the R4 interview (which I'd not previously heard) I was actually looking for a more recent on... | |
| Kate Bush Dear Raul...many thanks for your confidence in our critiques.That you already know Kate from the past is a sure guarantee of success, but I really hope you like it.Prior to Aerial, Kate disappeared "off the radar" for 12 yrs. When Aerial's release... |
