| Scheu Turntable Importer in US? @audiodwebe I own two turntables, the scheu and a SOTA Cosmos Eclipse. The Scheu is a very capable table, its a bit more "CD like" than the SOTA, where the later is a bit richer, dense, and full. The Scheu has two tone arms, a schroder CB-1L and a... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @pindac I have looked at the Origin Live arms and thought these could be a candidate. I understand SOTA has to fabricate a board specifically for the Enterprise in order to stay in the weight requirements of the suspension on a SOTA turntable. I m... | |
| Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss? Here are my thoughts. As some have mentioned, you don't have to go through the entire process if you don't think its necessary. It functions as any other ultrasonic tank. Although it becomes an expensive system to do so. The idea that recor... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Whatever the issue is I don't want to trivialize it. If a health issue please take care of yourself and I wish for a positive outcome. You will certainly be missed, and if there is a way for you to participate in the future I look forward to it. I... | |
| What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats. With regards to mats. Different is easy, better not as much. Analog playback systems have so much individuality built into them its hard to predict the outcome, or what the listener will prefer. You will change the sound, now whether you like it o... | |
| Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring I tried one of these a few years back. the centering hold is not precise enough to ensure an accurate placement of the ring. Secondly the mass was really not high enough on the one I bought to feel it did the job properly. I returned mine, did not... | |
| Scheu Turntable Importer in US? I have a Das Laufwerk No2 and sounds like it has the same motor arrangement. Sounds like your switch has gotten turned 180 degrees. How big of a deal is this to you will decide if you want to open the motor up or not. It looks like there is just a... | |
| Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss? @tom2015 Well the reality is every company needs a story to separate itself from their competitors. We can say the product sells itself, but that really isn't the truth. | |
| Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss? That is interesting that it worked well. Because that seems to lead credence to the ideas of using the surfactant to get the cleaning power deeper into the grooves. Did you notice the tell tale signs on records as you did the second or third ... | |
| Trinnov Audio Internal Phono Stage Is Remarkable! I keep mine in a credenza. Of course I have the front door open when playing, but there is not an issue with fan noise. Actually the air pump for my SOTA is easier to hear than anything from the preamp. | |
| What's it worth? A search of completed Ebay sales and Hifi Shark transactions give you a range. of sold values. Factor in the limitation of created by local pick up and you should get a reasonable value established. | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @kennythekey Thanks for the response and the time you spent crafting it. I apologize in advance for my post as it will be far ranging and long winded I guess. The problem with auditioning next tier tables is that our systems and associated an... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @tomic601 As I read your post, it looks like an argument to keep the Cosmos Eclipse and the Scheu tables, as at this point we are trading flavors more than anything. To my thinking this makes the argument of upgrading the arm on the SOTA, and the... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @mulveling Had a chat with Donna this morning. Arm length that is possible is typically 9 to 9.5 inches. They say they have done one 10" arm, a Jelco of some sort. Also states that the arm needs to be no more than two pounds and a couple of ounces... | |
| A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges @pindac Well essentially that points to standing where I am as both tables in my possession are quite respectable. In a way that is how I got to this point. When buying the SOTA Cosmos I bought an earlier generation Star Sapphire to determine if ... |
