| Lyra Titan i and Olympos SL I agree. The Olympos is without doubt the finest cartridge that I have ever heard. It is amazing, actually. | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Hi,I have owned literally dozens. Most were of a fairly pedestrian nature, though. I have maybe a couple of dozen in the stable now. They range from a Linn to a lowly Sony idler. I'm probably the only one around here who has cut apart a plastic AK... | |
| Soundsmith "The Voice"? Hi again,We played the cartridge in out room at RMAF, and I thought it was a stellar performer, especially at the price point. It was a medium compliance version, and it had the speed of a fine moving coil with a tonal balance that was very natura... | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? In my view, a turntable is a straightforward machine, be it a Lenco or any other, that has the simple task of spinning at the selected speed without imparting any detrimental effects to the resulting sound. If that turntable doesn't play well with... | |
| How do you level your turntable? I used several long levels (two 4' and one 2') to check the accuracy of three 12" ones. (One of those was actually out a little.) The accurate ones are used to level the platter. Once that is done, I permanently mount a pair of custom made glass v... | |

| Required Tools for TT Setup & Maintenance A turntable should always be level, so make sure you have a level of some sort. | |
| Tonearm compatibility and advice Stanwal,"I have two of the ADC bases left over from my days as an audio dealer. I have no idea what they are worth."They sell for more than you might think. The last one I saw went for around $75. | |
| Tonearm compatibility and advice Yours is a standard Rega hole. A Schroeder Model 2 will fit, as will a unipivot Magnepan and a bunch of other tonearms, if you decide against the Hadcock. You may be able to squeeze by with the Hadcock, depending on the headshell slots and the par... | |
| Large listening room "My room is 22'x 25'....I use fullrange dipoles. IMO, dipoles and large rooms, are about as good as it gets in sound reproduction.Horns would be great too!Dave"I have a similar sized room, and use Maggies. Horns are definitely on the short list, t... | |
| Movies that featured High End equipment I believe it was "The Graduate" where Dustin Hoffman had a turntable built into a coffee table...a Thorens TD124, maybe? Then, Richard Geer trashed an SAE setup in "American Gigolo." Not a movie, but Jim and Tammy Baker used a Nakamichi Dragon cas... | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? Lew,I am probably in the minority here when it comes to the issues surrounding tonearm coupling. I do believe that mounting the tonearm to the plinth in a secure way is indeed the only way to go, but I stop short of your comment regarding an inter... | |
| Lenco plinth? How big is too big? Hi Ralph,My turntable is 23.5 X 17 X 8. It's about as large as I can handle! Anyway, I submit that the size isn't quite as important as all the other components. How they work in unison is key to the final outcome. I believe you are best served by... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Sonofjim," ...Maybe it will lead to similar products at prices more within reach of the majority. Let's hope so."I hope so, too. Saskia is a different beast, though. Still, maybe someday it will lead to alternatives that are within reach of more p... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Hi,The arm model error was an easy oversight, so it is entirely acceptable in my mind. What is important to me is that a conversation has been spurred on regarding the merits of the frontend of any system. It will always be a "different strokes fo... |
