| Your "eureka" analog moment When a buddy lent me his Rega P2 and some uncleaned lps and the sound completely bested my 5k digital setup. I remember thinking "aw crap. now I have to build a whole analog system" :) 1000 lps, rcm, tubed phono preamp, vibraplane, Basis 2800, Dyn... | |
| Pass Labs vs ARC Thanks for the opinions and insights. I lean heavily to tubes and haven't had an issue with any setup being too tubey sounding, although have a blend of ss and tube has a certain sensibility to it.Perhaps that's why the Ref 2se is on the cool side... | |
| Pass Labs vs ARC Meant to compare ARC Phono Ref 2se, not the Ref 5se, which is the line stage pre. Thanks. | |
| Pass Labs vs ARC Thank you, I meant to write Ref Phono 2se. | |
| Dynavector DRT XV-1s Had mine done about a year ago, $2600 through Needle Doctor. I bought mine used and now it's basically gutted and rebuilt by Dynavector as new. If you trust the source, it's unplayed and certified rebuilt by Dynavector, I'd say 75% of retail is a ... | |
| Cleaning records. How often really? Not sure if there's any science to support this idea but one of the only reasons I can think of to use a RCM every time is that, in theory, when you spin an lp, micro particles of plastic break off some micro peak and could then, if not removed, w... | |
| Speed Control for Basis 2800 Signature ps. Just wanted to clarify what I perceive as "better" sound using the Phoenix setup.My Basis 2800 is a fantastic table but with the Phoenix I'm hearing more bass that is both louder and less muddy, more of a holographic soundstage, the overall so... | |
| Speed Control for Basis 2800 Signature Hi All,Thanks for your insights and suggestions. I'll start by reiterating that if I had the money to burn I probably would have purchased a Syncrowave. Since that's not the case at the moment I went ahead and purchased the Phoenix Eagle PSU and R... | |
| Speed Control for Basis 2800 Signature Thanks.I've done a lot of surfing around and have come across the Phoenix Eng. Roadrunner tachometer and Eagle PSU (power supply unit). The PSU supplies ample energy to drive the motor and syncs with the tach via cable to read and adjust platter s... | |
| Speed Control for Basis 2800 Signature Hi Dickson. I'll definitely reach out to Bill and see what he thinks and thanks Chayro as well, I've put in a call to AJ but haven't heard back from him yet. As far as rewiring the motor, what's a little shock and electrocution when the end result... | |
| setting up a basis 2001 signature I'd contact AJ at Basis. He'll be the best person to answer your questions. | |
| The future of Hi-Rez is groovy Next step is to weed out the bogus vinyl re-issuers that are using cd's and low-res digital files (ideally no digital, ever) as source material for lps. Unfortunately some of these bozo's have bought out really great catalogs. I'm trying to stick ... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump I bought my Classic 2 used from a highly reputable store and then bought my Classic 3 at the VPI factory where Harry personally put the box in my hands. Both of these tables made the exact same noise when hitting the power switch. I have no person... | |
| Pay Pal Protection? You should be covered but if paypal can't or won't help and you processed the payment with a credit card, the card companies can be really helpful.Also, if you ever need to return an item that you used paypal to pay for, ALWAYS use a credit card a... | |
| Why does the VPI motor thump Bpoletti, with all due respect, I had an SDS on my Classic2 and Classic3 and there was still the same sound so I'm not sure what you're talking about.Secondly, I didn't mean to imply that there are no good qualities to VPI tables but it seems reas... |
