| Lyra Titan i on Basis Vector 4 experience? Dre,Not the answer you are seeking, but I did have the opportunity to hear the Titan's big brother, the Olympos, with a Schroeder arm on my turntable. If what I heard was any indicator of the sound of the Titan at all, it is surely a cartridge you... | |
| What Arm choices for the Garrard 301 Hi,Thomas Schick's tonearm would be a good choice, but bear in mind that it is heavy, so those cartridges which like a heavy tonearm should be used with it. Thomas is one of the good guys, so I am a bit biased toward his. However, Joseph Esmilla h... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Hi,Consider that the platform where you sit the turntable along with the motor/flywheel assembly becomes part of the overall turntable the very second you do it. That means that the overall presentation of the turntable is necessarily affected, an... | |
| Who does not like the Lyra Dorian? .Yep, I believe you will like it in time. Unfortunately for me, I got only a taste of the wonderful, but unobtanium, Olympos. Remember, unforgiving can easily be associated with accurate, and sometimes those can be downright scary terms. I have le... | |
| Who does not like the Lyra Dorian? .Hi,Recently, I had the opportunity to hear the Lyra Olympos on my turntable. It was so resolving right out of the box that anything downstream was left naked with all its flaws apparent. If the Dorian is anything at all like the Olympos in its na... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II .Jean,I have sworn off the thread, but please don't take too much credit for anything I have done, or am doing. You did not start me on my journey of turntable building. I have explored many avenues, including string drives, etc., and yes, the Len... | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge Chris,Yes, I did, and I believe that anyone would be happy with it...seriously. | |
| choosing btwn vintage Dual 1019 vs 1209 turntable Hi,I have a 1019 in my collection, and it is a great old turntable. Personally, I think it is the best of the Duals, and I have owned several of them.Regards,Win. | |
| Soundsmith Straingauge Bigamp,I attended a private affair last weekend where I was fortunate enough to hear the cartridge setup at length in a proper environment with very good associated equipment. It is a world-class combination without doubt. Show environments are ge... | |
| Turntable speed measurements for speed accuracy? Mark,Thanks for the clarity. It is possible to achieve speed stability, as you most certainly know. Still, it is a game of fine tuning that I suppose will always continue to progress. The best we can hope for is a result that doesn't hamper music,... | |
| Turntable speed measurements for speed accuracy? Doug,I agree completely. My answer was simplistic, so that's why I said "halfway there" in my post. There are so many relationships to consider that it is mind boggling. I suppose the real test comes when the stylus hits the record in the presence... | |
| Turntable speed measurements for speed accuracy? Hello,The problem with speed accuracy in many turntables, as I see it, is that far too many of them depend upon mains current as their sole power source. If a turntable has a precision power supply, then speed control is addressed by default. In m... | |
| Footers What components Need Them Hi,Yours is a controversial topic, but my opinion is that you need footers when you can actually hear a difference. In my system, they aren't much use, but I heard equipment over the last few days that was so revealing that any flaw whatsoever was... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Willbewill,I agree with you. There are lots of ways to accomplish what we are trying to do. Let's say you have found a perfectly neutral material, assuming you can define neutral. If neutral means that the material imparts no sound of its own, the... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Harv,If you use the Dutch aftermarket plinth, why couldn't you just glue it down with a thin layer of J-B Weld or other good epoxy? It is flat, and I believe that the interface would be adequate to maintain all the sonic qualities without detrimen... |
