| Nitty Gritty I Don't Know How To Use Itty Why don't you just call Nitty Gritty and ask them to send you a manual for your machine and any supplies you might need? Their phone number in Montclair, CA is:(909) 621-9666. | |
| Turntable Platforms - Low mass? High mass? Why? That sounds like the way to go. How does it perform? | |
| Can you ever go back and be happy? The planar transducer (the electrostatic or, in the case of Maggies, the electromagnetic diaphragm) weighs less per square foot than the air it has to move, which automatically gives these devices their always incredible transient response. This i... | |
| Turntable Platforms - Low mass? High mass? Why? I guess I forgot to include spikes in the "mechanical diode" category. The Rega already has a "squishy" suspension right? So you're done! | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Springbok10 -- I'm glad someone else suggested a Helicon, and I suggest you compare it to the only other (current) cartridge that can match it technologically, the Transfiguration Temper W. In fact you can read an excellent review of those two plu... | |
| Rogue Zeus vs Rogue 150 monos You could email 'watsup' (a member - his name is John) he was driving a pair of Thiel 3.6's with the 150 monoblocks.See if he considered the Zeus first. (I don't recall.....) | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Sorry Springbok10, but you must remember Audiophile Kosmik Roole #1 which is:"You'll never be content, even for a moment, until all your equipment is of the same caliber."And which contentment is immediately interrupted by Audiophile Kosmik Kwesch... | |
| Turntable ground wire?????? If it's truly a plug-in ground (not a very smart way to make a ground I must say!) it might just take a single banana plug?????? | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help "The present system, to which must now obligatorily be added a turntable: EMM DCC2/CDSD; Atma-Sphere Line-stage MP-1 MkII, Atma-Sphere MA 2.2 modified (27 tubes each); Kharma 3.2; Indra Stealth i/cs; PAD Dominus i/cs and S/Cs (Rev C & B)."1.) ... | |
| uneven depth of soundstage William7: Good call!! I would never have been able to make that great suggestion because I don't know much about that (Minimax) component. Carrecting the phase might be a very important fix, expecially when using dipole speakers!!. I'm impressed. | |
| uneven depth of soundstage Your "good" CD's are more phase coherent, which in your case, is working against you -- because you have dipole speakers which are (I'm guessing) fairly close to the side walls? but pretty far out (> 3ft) from the rear walls? you may be getting... | |
| Which label printer for jewel case edge? Wait a minute: Are you all saying the labels go on the outside of the case and sort of wrap around the edge? Even with clear tape, a la Elizabeth, does this method hold up to wear -- with the labels on the outside I mean? | |
| Which label printer for jewel case edge? I like the thin cases too, but I can't figure ot what "edge" you mean? As far as I can tell, they dont have a place for an edge "flap" part of the label like the regular jewel cases, just some tabs inside the lid for a front-facing label. What am ... | |
| Optimal loading for a Sumiko Celebration Rule of thumb for MC's is optimal load is 25x internal impedance +/- 50%. For your Celebration, that would be 750 ohms optimal with a range from about 400 to 1100 ohms to find the best place in your system (i.e. with your preamp, cables, etc.)If y... | |
| Turntable Platforms - Low mass? High mass? Why? Goatwuss, what's important is "rock solid". Some interpret that to mean "high mass" but it's not necessarily true as long as it's solid and doesn't ring, which usually means a shelf with a "constrained layer" of damping. What's that you ask? It ju... |
