| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions @hifiron In your OP post you mention interest in the Clearaudio Performance. Beautiful table, but I’ve see it play in a room with bad footfall issues (suspended wood floor), and the magnetic-bearing arm mounted on it (Clarify, I think) was an abso... | |
| YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me! I’ve definitely found a lot of gems via YouTube suggestions, and yep it’s ended up costing me a lot of money towards vinyl!YouTube for listening at work; vinyl almost exclusively at home for immersive/critical listening. | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings If you have any problem, or even exertion sensation, in lifting a 3-4 lbs outer ring, you should hit the gym. 3 lbs is plenty to flatten anything that's going to get there. In the Clearaudio system, the ring plops right on, perfectly fitted and ce... | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings I use it on my Clearaudio Innovation; the matching ring fits perfectly so no fiddling with a centering spider/etc. I’ve made it part of my routine and never go without; it’s worth it, never having to worry about edge warps again. This particular t... | |
| Koestu original Onyx Sig pre-platinum cart vs. later/current platinum Sig comparisons Hi @statman71I own a Koetsu-rebuilt Onyx Signature (original Alnico magnets), Koetsu-rebuilt Onyx Platinum, and Coralstone. All 3 styli are still in early life (but well broken in); good for comparison. I had the Sig - an original Sugano Sr. build... | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms @clearthink please stop infecting this thread with your propaganda when you have nothing on-topic to contribute | |
| please help! which turntable , michell gyro se ,, pro ject rpm 10 carbon ,, avid diva 2 ? Agree with the SOTA Jewel suggestion by @yogiboy SOTA's are hitting their stride in that price range, and it's a good platform for you to build on in the future (swap-able arm boards for reasonable prices, etc). The suspension effectively isolates... | |
| Koetsu -- Do all longbodies have platinum/alnico magnets? @montaldo Interesting, and certainly possible, given that no one else offers Pl magnets. With flagship cartridge prices skyrocketing lately (5-figures is becoming ubiquitous), I wonder if it will become enough to renew interest in the manufacture ... | |
| Koetsu -- Do all longbodies have platinum/alnico magnets? I don’t know much about the long bodies - other than they’re the oldest Koetsus, and I’d guess that few if any would have the Platinum magnets, which were only introduced well after the later short bodies. I have a 1980s short body Onyx Signature ... | |
| Schiit not shipping The sonics/value/quality of their gear is sometimes overhyped, and their CS is terse, but they’ve got their order fulfillment down pat. If they can’t deliver then I do believe it’s because suppliers are putting them through the ringer, despite the... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Lots of LP12 for sale...because there were SO many LP12’s made over the years, because they’ve been good and popular for a long time. They’re still in demand today. They have an extensive upgrade path. And more importantly, because they hold their... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Yes, the size of the market continues to age and ebb away. It’s not gonna get any easier. In fact with the economy rolling right now, this may be as good as it gets by far. Some new blood is coming up from the high-end headphone crowd, but it’s no... | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? NAD makes some super gear; I got my girlfriend an 80 Watts/ch NAD C368 receiver (also class D), and it sounds great - very musical! Schiit on the other hand, I think tends to be overhyped. For you budget I think you’d be way better off finding the... | |
| too bad Audiogon seems to have morphed to fussy, picky buyers Been here since early 2000s and I feel there’s always been this element to the user base, and it’s not really that much worse these days. I think maybe you had a lucky streak for a while and then hit an unlucky streak.I’ve had really good transact... | |
| HELP Stylus Cantilever slightly bent to the left Ideally QA would keep these from leaving the factory, but it does happen. I suspect it's more common for new cartridges that are sent as replacements for cartridges that failed under warranty (which is rare) -- maybe those examples don't go throug... |
