| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @allenf1963 I love me some Dio era Sabbath. Heaven and Hell is one of my all time favorite songs. Very underappreciated piece that one is. Except by us old geezer(yeah I said it) metal heads that remember those times. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @kingsleuy I had one of those with a MA505 arm in the early 2000s. It was an underwhelming table, had no love for it. Wish I had it back though...so I could sell it again for more money. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @mulveling Essentially this makes the argument of standing pat with the tables and putting a better arm on the SOTA. That certainly is a viable option. I recently acquired the Schroder CB-1L in January of this year, and I will say the quali... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @pindac Previous to these tables I owned a SP 10 MK II in a constrained layer plinth, Denon PP75 in VPI plinth, and a Brinkman Bardo. Of the three I preferred the Denon. Prior to that I also owned a TD124 and a 401. Now every table stands ... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges I appreciate the responses, as having a group to exchange ideas with is a great resource to work through these kinds of questions. Having a larger body of experience to draw from in invaluable. The core question is really this. Does next tier of ... | |
| Anyone Know The History Of XStatic? Supposedly the pair I was looking at has fresh diaphrams and stator refurbished. Power supply sounds to be unchanged. Selling price is close to what they were new. Not sure I would make an investment in a speaker with limited future appeal if a pe... | |
| Anyone Know The History Of XStatic? No they are a full sized electrostatic speaker with a curved diaphram. | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? So the cabling showed up for the phono stage. I bought balanced Wireworld Silver Eclipse 8 interconnects and also grabbed a couple of pairs of Wireworld Micro Eclipse 8 tone arm wiring with XLR terminations with straight and SME style DIN plugs. T... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I did spend some time trying to see if it could be bought from a seller in Japan. So far no luck in finding a web presence for one who has it listed. | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges I guess an explanation is necessary. How and why does a habit develop? I have played vinyl since my teens, so this is not new. There was a time when my digital collection was physical, and then later ripped files on a hard drive. However, they di... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @atmasphere With diffusion panels directly behind the speaker is it possible to shorten that 5 foot distance by a small amount? I have always considered trying planars but my listening room is moderate in size. 22'L x 16' W x 8'H. The most useful ... | |
| Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges The last couple of years I work from home, so I am able to listen to the stereo for 1.5 hours to 2 hours before work starts, and as a general rule 2 to 3 hours in the evening. So that is 3.5 to 5 hours a day. That adds up to a lot of time on a car... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @pindac Thanks for the information. The second MC2000 that I have as already been fitted with a boron cantilever and microridge stylus, its now in its modified form. This has become my daily driver cartridge. Since the OEM cantilever was not sav... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm @chayro The intended purpose for arm shopping is to locate a candidate for my MC2000. I need to know arm mass on the Viv arm and so far I have been unable to locate that information. Sent an email to the companies official one over a week ago, nev... |
