| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I have seen the numbers for tracking error and they are not pretty. Makes me wonder why some people report such positive experiences. Those owners used some nice associated gear. I still have difficulties correlating the math and what they report.... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Well the phono stage arrived safely today. It certainly is a large and solid piece of gear. Beautiful fit and finish too. It is in the rack and powered up now. Have to wait until the Schroder arm shows up though. Well, actually i did get an Audio ... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? The owner of the BMC used an Ortofon Anna with this phono stage and has output set at 0 dB, RIAA, and bass functions off. I will be starting at those settings since they worked for him with a similar cartridge. Anyways this whole project will ta... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? I decided on the BMC MCCI Signature ULN. | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @mijostyn Yes that is the question, are we talking the 2.0 or the 3.3? The 2.0 is going to be roughly the same price as the B.M.C. MCCI Signature ULN that is available to me. The topology of the Signature ULN appears to be quite sophisticated. ... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @lewm I hear what you are saying, I just have an internal quirk about modifying expensive equipment. My own internal firewall, I hate to do it. Yes its just a set of terminations...what can I say? All I know is this Verismo is one of the finest ... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? As an update after resetting the cartridge on the SOTA I have decided to stick with the SME V and Proteus on this table. However, I have the Ortofon Verismo I am receiving back from VAS. Actually, that showed up yesterday, and last night I insta... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @o holter I remember looking at the Amari turntables at one time, I believe they are the OEM builder for Hanss. I thought about their multi level tables, but did not pull the trigger. Instead on Audiogon I found a dealer sellign a demo Scheu A... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Curious I noticed the absence of @nandric Has he been active lately? | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? After reading through the thread, @mijostyn post struck a nerve with me. Truth be told I overlooked an important point. As a bit of history, I should say I am a hobbyist of modest means, and while I appreciate audio gear, I must be creative and op... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that the SME V can sound constrained, and that is a good description I hear with the Transfiguration Audio Proteus. Everything sounds on track in terms of tonal balance, it tracks well, and at the macro leve... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Perhaps this is a good moment to share a bit of history of how I got here. Back in the late 1990s I decided to do vinyl again, and had good results with an unsuspended high mass table, an early Teres Audio with Eminent Technology II arm. I drifted... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @mijostyn The SOTA is 2 years old, it's the current generation Eclipse with vacuum hold down. Yes the V is lighter in mass than it's visual appearance suggests, believe it's 9.5 grams. As I recall the V used a silver wiring. I have a ZYX 4D... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @pindac What are you talking about? I wrote nothing about this "theory". You people created it all on your own. The original question is what does it take to surpass a SME V? My turntable is a SOTA Cosmos Eclipse. So it's a floating subc... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @senza Yeah the thread is pretty well useless. I don't see much value in it either. |
