| I finally get it! Few audiophiles are going to bother to look because their stuff is too cheap. But the info on their site is correct. Their 20 buck protractor is very good and precise, and can be ordered in 2 spindle sizes and with Baerwald or Loftgren B alignment... | |
| I finally get it! @slaw Go to turntablebasics.com and look at alignment tools. They have a lot of good info about tonearm alignment on their site which may be helpful to you. | |
| Can 24/96 downloads be burned to DVD discs? Yes, the AYRE can play DVD-A up to 24/192. It also plays the Classic Records DADs which are 24/96 PCM (without MLP). The more recent Classic Records have a 24/96 side and a 24/192 side (not sure it it is with MLP). I am hoping that a 24/96 WAV dow... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc OPUS3 is recorded with a single point Blumlein microphone. they will not have the hyped dynamics of many D2D recordings which may have been multi-miked through a mixer with the microphone right at the instrument. They do convey IMHO the sound of r... | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) Going back a little, my vote goes to Julie London. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc I have most all of the D2D mentioned, but feel I should submit some other great LPs. The OPUS 3 are fine recordings with special mics in defined acoustical spaces. They issued a series of system setup discs: imaging, dynamics, timbre, etc. Even be... | |
| Itching to upgrade preamp... You have a fine system. The Pass X0.2 is a great preamp. If you just want to change call Wayne Colburn to see if you can get some synergy to the XA60.5 with the Pass X20 or later. Changing the X0.2 will not improve your imaging. I would suggest to... | |
| Hello, I need help find a overhang gauge for a yamaha turntable. If you have a protractor with inner and outer alignment guides, and IF your cartridge cantilever is aligned at both points, then your overhang is correct. if not, then slide your cartridge forward or back until it is aligned at both points without... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc I agree that the Mapleshade CDs are similar to the Ref Rec LPs (also available on HDCD, SACD, and I guess downloads) in that they are recorded to tape in a purist microphone setup and then the production to CD is tightly controlled. The sound is g... | |
| want a CD player upgrade Based on my use of an Ayre C-5xeMP, I would highly recommend an Ayre C-7xeMP. I also know of a used Cary 303/200 in SC. It has AES, coax & toslink outputs for use as a transport, but it has an excellent DAC and audio section. | |
| Any alternative to Radio Shack sound level meter? Thanks for the great responses. I have already done the simple setup a couple of years ago, with the xover at 50 hz and 24dB with the level set by the RS meter. But I want to set up the PEq, so I may need the precision of the option by Kijanki, an... | |
| Lower end Soundsmith cartridges vs others in same price range? Some bad info here. Yes Soundsmith is MI, but the replacement is factory not user. Grado is also MI, but different.Also, for low cost, I would advise to use Soundsmith high output and spend less money on the phono preamp. Soundsmith HO is like get... | |
| Owners of Jelco arms? try audiosensibility in Toronto. He is a Jelco dealer, but they make their own cables as well. | |
| SME V cable The DIN connector is a German defined international standard connector. For an angled DIN there are 4 different possible orientations. The British have picked one of them. To visualize, search for audiosensibilty, go to products, tonearm. | |
