| Kate Bush Something you may be interested in Actus : getting back to the technical details for a moment I must say that Kate's vinyl productions are among the most lavish, no expense spared examples I've seen. This is one artist who really takes Analogue se... | |
| Kate Bush Actus...you are not alone by any means my friend... :0)Your post puts the case far better than I ever could.Reason I posted was that I listened to the entire album yesterday afternoon and was reminded of your interest. Aerial has been one of my to... | |
| Kate Bush Actus....you owe it to yourself to buy Aerial. I'm convinced this is the best thing she's ever done.At first play I thought the album too "sanitised" compared to her earlier work such as "The Dreaming". A judgement I regretted after the second pla... | |
| Kate Bush Does this new disc show the same problems at exactly the same places, Actus? Is the disc drilled dead centre? MRA is often the root of all evil in situations like this but it looks like you accounted for that with your cleaning regime.To finally n... | |
| Graham Phantom with Benz Lp-s Tracking problems Carl, as a Phantom II user myself, I'm interested. What's different about your combination? Is it unmodified or did you get the heavier counterweight? | |
| Graham Phantom with Benz Lp-s Tracking problems Hi Agucela,Sorry to hear you are still struggling. I think the Forum needs more background on the problem. You didn't say whether you'd investigated AudioQuest4Life's suggestion regarding antiskate?Can you tell us where the bias weight is set at t... | |
| Graham Phantom with Benz Lp-s Tracking problems Hi Agustin,Could be feedback but my guess is cantilever resonance caused by the LPs themselves. About 1 in 4 (at a guess) of typical 120g LPs suffer from very fast warps - more like sharp pulses than warps - and sometimes they can be cascaded. Cer... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Excellent post Tony...I'm thinking of another possibility for variances in behaviour.The same mechanism that VPI often use for antiskate - twisting of the arm cable - may have been unintentionally applied by manufacturers (or indeed by DIY owners)... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Happy New Year Doug....you've clearly given this subject some thought. What, in your opinion, is the reason why turntables Nos 1-5 differ from No.6?Cheers, | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Dear Doug,Thank you for your insights, your conclusions are highly plausible. At the risk of stating the obvious you will no doubt have seen cantilevers bent like a bow due to skating force (not referring to my current rig here, but past experienc... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations Dear Actus....For information, to get the described benefits of zero antiskate are you currently using the recommended downforce of ~1.76g with the Delos?One practice is to maximise the downforce or even go beyond the Manufacturers recommended ran... | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations BTW "Band 1" means Band 6. | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations A degree of anti-skate is essential.Recordings such as soprano with piano accompaniment can be useful. The soprano is usually well centred and will produce sustained notes not dissimilar to a test tone. In this way you adjust against any "edginess... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Call me old fashioned but whenever tightening headshell screws on "fixed head" designs, I would always remove the arm from the T/t first to preserve the bearings. Messing around with a single piece cable loom while doing this would drive me banana... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Dear Dertonarm,You are referring to the number of connectors....I was referring to the number of contact points or possible "signal breaks". 2 connectors does not necessarily = 2 signal breaks, more likely one solitary break?To help clarify this I... |
