| Has anyone tried double CLS No Rube Goldberg for me, sorry Lacee. My system does EVERYTHING just the way it is. And besides, I don't have 20 ft ceilings ;--). | |
| Has anyone tried double CLS I've had my CLS IIz for 16 years (started out as CLS II) and I've had 3 different bass augmentation systems with them: Wilson Puppy 2 (excellent), Kinergetics SW-800 towers (awful) and now a single ML Depth (the best!)Stacking two pairs of panels ... | |
| How Do You Measure VTF? Always measure VTF with AS off, for 2 reasons:1. You can't get an accurate VTF with AS on, and2. You could damage your stylus if the AS force causes it to slide sideways off the weighing platform. | |
| tonearm questions Dave, excuuuuse me! I completely forgot about the height adjustment screw that's incorporated into the damping trough piece (more likely I "repressed" rather than "forgot" it because it's such a pain in the ass to use!)If you haven't read the long... | |
| Vanden Hul Ground End Processor end. "Ground End" (most likely) refers to the end that the "floating shield" is connected to the ground ring of the RCA plug, and is the end that should connect to the preamp or processor.Also, if you experience noise or hum, lifte all c... | |
| tonearm questions ALWAYS drop the stylus into the first groove and not into the lead-in spiral -- for all the reasons Doug says. Yes it requires eyesight (glasses?) and a little practice -- but any decent engineer has cut a few seconds of silence into the first tra... | |
| tonearm questions Rolloff, the internal wiring of the SME IV is a metallized ribbon, not wire. Supposedly, this presents less resistance to the bearings, and is also supposedly more compatible with MC cartridges -- for which this arm was specifically designed. So y... | |
| Lube for turntable - What do you prefer? Thom, I've had this TT since new (it's a Studietto w/ the JVC quartz controlled motor) and only changed the oil twice before in the last 16 years (my bad!) although it hadn't dried out or anything. (I think I used some kind of super-refined machin... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? And never regard new technology as "inferior."Often we DO trade convenience/practicality/profit (newer technologies) for certain "qualities" available only with older methods. This is true in all areas of human endeavor.I believe it's up to indivi... | |
| Lube for turntable - What do you prefer? FWIW, changing to Mr. van den Hul's zirconium oxide-doped spindle oil made all the difference in my Goldmund TT.Supposedly the super hard zirconium oxide particles act like nano ball bearings which actually keep the metal surfaces apart from one a... | |
| Denon Direct Drive Decision Yanx, maybe you already know about this site, anyway here's a link to their Denon page:http://de.geocities.com/bc1a69/denon_eng.html. | |

| question on pwr cords Warren, the fellow I have in mind is Chris venHaus. His website is:http://www.venhaus1.com/diymains.htmlHe also makes cords to order quite reasonably if you're not into DIY. My point about "that short" is that you're really asking for a plug "pigt... | |
| Purist, Legenburg or K-S? Khrys, my experience has been somewhat parallel to Jfrech. You have a lovely system, yet to me, your cabling is the one thing "wrong with this picture."I think you should just spend a little money with the Cable Company and borrow a set of Venusta... | |
| question on pwr cords For something that short, the only really important thing is good stranded 10 AWG copper (twisted) and decent plugs (AC and IEC) If I were you, I'd make one myself with parts available from one of the many PC mnufacturers here on Agon that provide... |
