| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers hi great choice in the 4367. i have used my 4367 speakers with Gryphon Diablo and then my Audio Note SET amp (211). the only reason i bought the 2nd hand diablo was because i had always wanted to own one and i wanted to know if my preferred amp... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine oh yes: - figure 8. that way i guess u get the double but don’t have to make 2 exactly the same length silk belts which i think i would fail. also only one knot! i am using sewing thread made from silk. i have ordered surgical silk thread whi... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine also dover had the same thoughts although he identified "surgical" silk and said if loose it could be "chalked" (presumably to give grip). i have the motor partially under the turntable now and a double loop of silk thread and it is driving! | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 this is good. If we hear the same things then I think that is very reassuring. Because frankly with so many variables on the la platine, and it being quite sensitive to these variables, one could easily trick oneself. It’s perhaps tedi... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine well surprisingly it was very easy to hear differences between the threads. - have been running silk or linen thread. as i suspected silk is much quieter than linen thread. in fact after returning to linen thread for perceived dynamics, i got r... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine you could be right re: the Delos but i am quite broke right now and it sounds brilliant. I don't think I have ever had my stereo running like this. when i adjusted the azimuth i corrected a 2 dB channel imbalance. so now the channels match, int... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 wow! this really made a difference. the Delos i have was v cheap because the cantilever is askew. it needed an azimuth adjustment more than most carts would perhaps. the difference is profound. when you said "The one parameter tha... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine aha! thank you very much for your insight here. i think i knew this once but it was before i was ready to cope with another variable and i had well and truly forgotten. just y'day i saw the arrow on the safir and wondered as to what the heck it... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238 i have gone overboard it is true. a big positive is i have learnt a bit and become comfortable working with a cart, tonearm and table. i am yet to crack azimuth if i am honest. i struggle getting vision on it even with a microscope ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i have a silver 1:10. i think it is the pro version. i wanted the largest silver cans i could get my hands on. it wasn't cheap unfortunately. what i like is to listen to other gear so i can get a sense of how good the good gear is. i feel i... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine delos with silvercore is a home run. early days but sounds great. i have a Audio Note M6 as my RIAA. it plugs into my integrated amp. things almost perfect with my turntable setup. only thought left now is toward an isolating base. would rad... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine yes i was inspired by Herb to be sure. it is really him that's gotten me into a vinyl switch it up mindset rather than "ultimate system" type thinking. i am using a cheap SUT with the Delos that i picked up for 375 USD. total expenditure someth... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine it is in extremely poor taste for me to be making a series of posts however: 1. platine users aren't thick on the trees 2. i just tried a new cart last night and i just have to say how thrilling it was with the la platine/safir combo. a ... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine ok rec'd thread today. this is linen thread with light waxing so a good match for Verdier's recommendation i believe. instantly the speed was perfect for both 33 and 45. as in i could dial in the speed and be around half way in range. that fel... |
