| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? You've got to be kidding me - who let this guy out of his cave to prey on unsuspecting audio enthusiasts AGAIN? | |
| Dynavector DV20X2H or DV20X2L No you don't need a megabuck phono stage for a low MC. I started out with a Dynavector P75 (not even a later Mk version) with 60dB gain and a Benz Micro Glider L2. It was a great starting setup that made me very happy! Your CA Basic+ looks good to... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) OP,No experience with the Origin arm, but if SOTA's bundling it then I'd trust that they justifiably consider it a good match and value with their tables. I called up SOTA years ago asking about an armboard for a VPI 10.5 arm (dealer wanted trade ... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) @effischer Yes that’s definitely an important consideration you've pointed out. I’ve had tables on very suboptimal stands/floors before, and the 4-point SOTA suspension works wonders to prevent all kinds of problems you’d otherwise suffer. In my h... | |
| SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?) I just upgraded my old SOTA Star III to a Nova V and love it to death. GREAT sound. But then my buddy has a VPI Scoutmaster that he loves; great value too. And a Planar 3 is a pretty decent deck itself!One thing I can't live without anymore is a h... | |
| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Noise issue driving me nuts! My dealer has one of these on permanent display/use in his shop. I once remember firmly gripping the arm’s finger lift, with the platter spinning, and actually feeling a very faint vibration that would probably cause hum noise once the stylus gets... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? Well to be honest I’m over the Schiit hype machine. If it follows the trend of their other products, it’ll perform like a VPI Scout but get lauded (by some) like it’s a TechDAS at a fraction of the price. And it looks like - well, like the company... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? I'm guessing we'll watch the unipivot arm evolve over the years from a "simplicity is its beauty" design into a complex hybrid multi-pivot damped design, like all the other good unipiviots, lol. | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT Between your dealer’s VPI, Project, and Thorens, sticking with that Scoutmaster is really the best choice. Sound like you’ve perhaps got a bad mechanical/electrical mismatch somewhere in the chain, or a significant cartridge/arm setup issue, or ma... | |
| 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 |
