| Who tweaks VTF too? I didn't say I run my cart in the lower region of VTF. More often than not, when the arm is performing up to spec, the sweet spot is pretty much in the middle of the suggested range, as one might expect.With all the carts and arms I have used over... | |
| Who tweaks VTF too? I would fully agree with Dertonarm on this topic. The correct VTF is the point where the cart internals align and produce the best signal and performance. This varies from cart sample to cart sample so a range is given. Yes, changing VTF changes t... | |
| opinions on favorite cartridge Sounds more like you just have a lot of stuff and want to parade it in front of those who don't. If you were a serious listener, you would be telling us the ins and outs of each cart and providing us with valuable info. Not asking "Which of my fan... | |
| The CD player is dead....... AlmargA well designed cd player will have jitter issues that lie somewhere between minimal and none,A well designed dac will not have jitter issues either. | |
| The CD player is dead....... @Almarga nice side benefit of my present preference for a one-box player is that I don't have to concern myself with jitter issues. Are you saying cd players don't suffer from jitter just because they are cd players? | |
| SUT shootout Interesting thread... How would you say a transformer differs from the sound of an active phono stage with FET amplifiers? I currently have an active phono stage (Sonic Frontiers) and I think the tone is actually a little better in MM mode. In MC ... | |
| Phono cartridge for classic rock I would agree with you that many MCs are not a good choice for rock records. They are nice for chamber music however. The best rock cart I have found so far is the Shure M97xE with a Jico SAS stylus. I have mine on a Rega arm and it works perfectl... | |
| mhdt havana vs streamer+ ....anyone? I've had a Havana for a few months now. Got to say I love it. Like notec, I have not been a huge digital fan, but the Havana via cMP/cPlay->USB has really got me happy. I can spend the entire evening listing to digital or vinyl; they are both a... | |
| RB300 anti-skating problem never quite ? Perhaps you are thinking of the VTF force spring where you turn it to the max in order to turn it off? | |
| RB300 anti-skating problem never quite ? >>This might minimise the anti-skating force but will not eliminate it entirely as Klaus's paper shows.<<Actually, by removing the anti-skate device from the Rega arm, you are eliminating anti-skating force from the arm entirely. Pleas... | |
| RB300 anti-skating problem never quite ? You could try removing the anti-skate device. There is a screw in the bottom which goes up through the arm stand. It holds a plate on the arm bottom which can be pulled off and the anti-skate slider can be removed. It is just a piece of plastic wi... | |
| Headphones for setting VTA? I use headphones when adjusting all aspects of my cart. VTA, VTF, Anti-skate, etc.. It makes it very easy to hear the differences and you don't have to go back to your listening position to hear what's going on. It is also much easier to hear it w... | |
| DAC vs. New CDP Les_creative_edgeIf I may, just because a cd player is a few years old does not mean it does not sound as good as a new player. Your unit may sound better, worse or more likely just different than others especially new choices at your disposal. Bu... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black vs, Clearaudio Maestro That is a good question and the answer I think would require having both of them on hand for direct comparison. I would think they are more similar sounding than they are different. That being said, their marketing blurb says:The Maestro features ... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black vs, Clearaudio Maestro Sabocat59, the Ace may not cut it. You may have to go up to the Glider or Maestro to do better than you are getting with your Virtuoso and 2M Black. I had a Glider before my Virtuoso and they are really good. A little tougher to handle though. The... |
