| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate roarius,I have reset the anti-skate yet once again, this time using a mono LP. The results are almost identical to when I used a stereo LP. All good.Thank you.Norman | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate Al & rotarius,I followed your very well written concise instructions last night and was able to dial in the Grace 747 and for the first time the SME 3009. I am really happy about this.The Denon 103 has a conical stylus, so given rotarius remar... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate And that is why designers use a spring or magnet for antiskate in many of the tonearms. It is to vary the amount of the bias force as the arm gets closer to the spindle. rotarius,If you can flash back far enough, My Dual 1229's original tonearm... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate Al,Yes, that is exactly what I meant. I find that on my Dual 1229 / Grace 747 setup (Denon 103) that I too can easily find a place when adjusting the anti-skate where there is no perceptible deflection of the cantilever, but on my Garrard 301 / S... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate prysoIn spite of such limitations, some older tables such as the AR-XA are still capable of providing a satisfying musical experience, just as you learned.Excellent comment and I agree. Norman | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate stringreen,I am guessing from you comments that you don't use antiskate? When I removed the anitskate from my two tonearms, the sound changed. It was very good, but I would have to really do a lot of comparing to state that it sounded better. I... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate rotarius,I agree with your statement and have always used antiskate I am just surprised that the AR tonearm didn't appear to need it. I could see no discernible skating, which I can easily see when I remove the antiskate from my tonearms.And, to... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate totem395,I am really intrigued by this. I have been looking for documentation on how they addressed the skating issue back then. I have a SME 3009 Improved, of course with the anti skate. I am guessing that no one was really concerned about it ... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate I have a Grace 747 on my Dual 1229 and a SME 3009 on the Garrard 301. It doesn't work. I played with them both all night. I will say though, to my surprise that leaving the antiskate off sounds really good. I can see however that the stylus is... | |
| Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate Randy,Yes, that's the arm. The sound was really clean. I'm wondering if I can try that with a couple of my tonearms?Thanks. Norman | |
| How old of McIntosh SS stereo anp I've owned many Mac amps, all of them 20 plus years old. I had a MC-2300 for example and sent it Mac after years of use for a 'tune up', as I figured it would need something. (Needed the 'mac' crate to ship the beast). Anyway, between the amp an... | |
| Mark Levinson ML3 vs Sansui BA5000 Ihcho,I have had many amps over the years. The BA5000 was Sansui's answer to the McIntosh MC2300. They spec'd out nearly identical. My MC2300 was a way better amp than my Mark Levinson ML2's.That is probably due the the speakers that I was driv... | |
| Vinyl at Bed Bath and Beyond? Yes, for real! Wolf _garcia,You nailed it! I too was born in that era and get a thrill out of playing an LP that I bought myself 40+ years ago. The sound is incredible even from discs that I played on cheap gear when I was ten years old. I have yet to hear a ... | |
| Record cleaning I make my own record clener using thr formula from the December 1996 Stereophile magazine. My lp's are super clean and dead silent. I clean at every play. Email me and I will send you the .pdf file of the formula.Norman | |
| Revox B250 quality skriabin,Sounds like your pretty happy with the ReVox. There is no real answer to your question, because only you will know if you prefer the sound of another amp over the ReVox. I do feel your pain though. I went through years of listening and... |
