| 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... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine i agree, alot of Safir plus La Platine action. i asked one user what cart he recommended with the Safir and he said the Aidas Mammoth. unfortunately that cart costs more than i paid for the la platine! i have defeated suspension again. it s... | |

| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine when fremer reviewed the safir i recall he used a variety of carts that wouldn't traditionally work with something of such high eff. mass. i can't say i see any issues in use. i agree it seems likely that another cart might do even better. i ha... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine well i finally have the safir playing on the la platine and of course i am now: - floating in mid air with no ball bearing contact - lubed up with Rocol X5 - transrotor skinny belt - copper "mat" I have an ART9 mounted and am using a very aff... |
