| Trying to Help My Nephew With His First Venture Into High End Audio Totem Model 1 Speakers (4Ohm and 98db)That can't be right. More like 85dB. | |
| 401 birch or slate? I have a virgin AG 401 flat strobe in a box and not sure what I want to do with it. Use it upstairs in a small plinth with a 9" arm for background music, or build another 12" and load it up with the good stuff. What type of plinth? Panzer, bamboo,... | |
| 401 birch or slate? @dover Love hearing about your endeavors. The brass kit looks serious along with the price. Shaun D. at Peak HiFi told me the brass lends a warmer and more organic sound. I'm happy with the aluminium but would like to try the stainless steel. | |
| 401 birch or slate? @tomic601 A man of your means and sonic acumen should truly consider a refurbished one. | |
| 401 birch or slate? the 301 is more rube goldberg.So much so a family member threw one away thinking it was some old junk. | |
| Rippling cones @stereo5 Your Rega being lightweight is not the problem. My 40+ pound VPI Prime suffered from the same problem. Only a problem weighing down the springs! | |
| Rippling cones @noromance - have you tried either filter? quite the price difference!Only the KAB when I had a LP12. Don't use any now. Using springs instead. | |
| Long hiatus from audio, getting back into it, speaker/room help please Congrats on surviving all of that. First thought is the LRS might be too small in a fairly large room unless you listen closer to the speakers. Steve Guttenberg has a few videos on the LRS which may help. | |

| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? Don’t misunderstand, I believe what you’re all saying, I just don’t understand what changed. It’s unfortunate. Hearsay is that he had health issues. I know a few people who have become desperate as their lives fell apart when ill due to the lack o... | |
| Rippling cones While recommending subsonic filters to get the new user a fix, it is definitely worth attempting a better mount with the springs. The Rega is likely too light to go directly on the springs but may benefit from a heavy intermediate support. | |
| Rippling cones but it's not "inherent in LPs.Not entirely true. Rule breaking by exception. While the vast majority do not flutter my cones, I have a small number of albums that make woofers and subs do that. | |
| 401 birch or slate? @dover Also replaced platter and bearing which have transformed the table. This is NOT your dad's old Garrard in a ply box! | |
| 401 birch or slate? @dover Revisiting this thread. I ended up acting on your advice shortly after these posts. Initially went with the AS idler and then got the AF one. Improvements above as noted. |
