| A warm DAC? I haven't posted much but have been following the Agon Forums for some time. I too have been thinking about upgrading my Peachtree DAC itx. I know this question may start a crap storm but I'm curious to ask those that believe if two DAC's measur... | |
| USB cable from external HD to Oppo BDP 103 @nicotico Interesting observation about the WAV vs. Flac files through the OPPO.I'll have to give that a try. | |
| USB cable from external HD to Oppo BDP 103 @nicotico Exactly my question. The WD HD uses is a USB 3.0 so the hd end is different from the usual USB cable that is used from player to DAC or Computer to DAC. My understanding is that computer USB ports produce a lot of noise and so the theo... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High tzh21y,It could be something inherent in the Benz line or cartridges. Who know?It did track fine on the Rega arm but yeah, maybe it's not the best match for the Technics arm. | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High Thanks to all who have posted suggestions. I feel a lot better now just playing and listening to music instead of agonizing over the anti-skate setting. So far everything at least sounds fine so I'll leave it at that. | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High There's four bands on the HiFi News test record for anti-skate.Most cartridge/arm combos I've used had been able to get through the first three but none were able to make it thru the fourth band.The Benz can only get through two without putting th... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High I just incrementally brought the a/s up from 1 where I was getting buzzing/breakup in the right channel. Each increment brought just a little bit less breakup until I reached 1.9 where it went away. 1.9 grams is what I have my VTF set at so the A/... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High Well, I tried the putting the anti-skate at 0 to see how it reacts to the HiFi News tracks.It got past the first track and that was it. The seconds track I immediately got buzzing in the right channel so this is telling me that the A/S mechanism ... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High Chakster,I guess it's just the HiFi News Test lp tracks. On my previous tt with a Rega RB-300 tonearm and Mitchel CW I could usually get through the third track at the recommended A/S setting. I can't get through the third track with the A/S set... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High Tonearm height at 0 and arm parallel to platter. | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High lewm,I believe the anti-skate mechanism is working because it has some effect, albeit at the highest setting on the dial.I may have to put my other cartridge back on and see how that responds to the a/s dial.On the other hand, I can leave the Glid... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High I removed the angle shim.Readjusted all the settings. Even got azimuth corrected.Vtf is 1.9 gVta is set to 0 on the adjuster and arm is parallel to platter or at least very close.Anti-skate is at 2. With a/s at 2 I can get thru the first two bands... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High chakster, Without the shim or some type of shim I can't get the arm parallel to the record surface unless I use an extra thick mat which I'm afraid will change the sound maybe for the worse.I had the vta adjuster set at 0 before and the back end o... | |
| HELP! Technics SL1200GR/Benz Glider Anit-Skate Setting High Ok.1. Turntable is level2. Arm is level 3. I use the overhang gauge that comes with the technics to get me in the ball park. Then I use a db systems alignment protractor to get spot on.4. The only thing that I can find a bit off is Azimuth but jus... | |
