| High end amp - my last step Well you wouldn't be the first person to own multiple amps (and speakers, and cartridges, etc.) for different listening modes. | |
| High end amp - my last step You have some very fine candidates, but I bet once you start listening, you are going to be confronted with the tubes vs. solid state issue. You will have to make that decision at that point. Then go back and re-listen to everything in your camp o... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Greg, yes you simply stated it backwards. The cutter head stays in one plane but moves in two directions.Imagine you have a nickel on your desk. Imagine that's the cutter head looking from the front. You put your finger on the nickel. You push it ... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Greg, actually, the chisel, or spade-shaped cutter, can only move in one plane. It's a plane that lies across the two "spade" edges. It moves diagonally (up left or right or down left or right) but remains constrained on that plane. It's movement ... | |
| Ideal TT & Arm for the following top cartridges... Ctm, the person you should ask about the Tri Planar is Doug Deacon. | |
| Levinson repair costs? I haven't had the occasion to send anything in for repair for years (a "good" thing!) but have been reading all the reports too. What I get is that ML wants you to "pre-authorize" up to $1200 of repair work before they'll issue a Repair Authorizat... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? If you have a spherical stylus or even an elliptical sytlus, then the actual SRA is not too critical because whether the stylus is vertical, or leaning (less than a degree) slightly forward or backward, the very rounded tip is going to fit in the ... | |
| MI 330 ics,LOW impedience?MEDIUM impedience? Are you referring to the MIT 330 with the network boxes, or just the original (plain) MIT 330 ICs without boxes? | |
| How much "bend" are in these inteconnects? There is a solution Virginia!! (no dis intended ;~))I had to use these myself many years ago: Monster Cable Gold Plated Right Angle RCA adapters!! I have a ton (OK a couple pounds) of them. Tell me how many pairs (L+R) you need and I'll be happy t... | |
| Good power cord vs Killer power cord? I agree with Tvad (and also respectfully disagree with Hbarrel) and here is a partial post I made to another thread, but first a quote:"It's all about energy transfer." -- (from a phone conversation I had with Jim Aud of Purist Audio Design)You ma... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Dan, architecture (what I do to support my audio addiction) is all about geometry, so it comes quite naturally ;~)) | |
| Power cable for a powered sub Actually Bob, my Dominus sounded best on the subwoofer, but I couldn't afford that amount of "better".I know the numbers don't suggest a 10AWG should be required, but neither do the numbers suggest a 10AWG cord should sound best with a DAC, but th... | |
| How to set SRA after determining true vertical? Ketchup, you are quite right, this is an excellent way to check azimuth. There is just one leeeetle setup problem you need to solve first:If you just place the mirror on the platter, you'll never get a scope in there to look at the image because t... | |
| How Can This Be? Well, it could be a wiring mistake in your Clearaudio OR your VPI.Did the Clearaudio work OK in another TT/TA? If so the problem is in the VPI tonearm and/or turntable wiring and it should be returned to the factory.If this is the first use of the... | |
| Good power cord vs Killer power cord? I like the PAD Dominus too, although I've only seriously A-B'd it with PAD Venustas (and the Dominus always wins!)Right now, I have two Domini, one goes to an Exactpower EP-15A regenerator, and one goes to a Levinson 23.5 amp. They both outperform... |
