| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? Cport: Please correct the typo below ("waring"). Also, you indicate "Figures of C coming from Japan usually are measured at 100 Hz, so they should be multiplied by 1.5-2." Does this mean, for example, that the compliance quote of 10 that is given ... | |
| Tonearm board makers? My consideration regarding a new tonearm board has been based on the assumption I would be keeping my old, existing VPI HW-19 MK 3 table. But having mulled over my other option long enough, I finally decided last night to go with a new Raven One. ... | |
| Tonearm board makers? Thank you Schiss and Stanwal. Sounds_real, I am currently using an aluminum/brass board, cut for my SME IV.Vi. This a/b metal base sounds very good, but I'm anticipating going with another arm which will require a different cut out, and I'm not ce... | |
| Looking for a softer tube Mullard 12au7 "box plate", without a doubt. | |
| Cartridge recommendations for TW Acustic 10.5 arm. Chris,I'm pretty much sold on the Raven One, but am still trying to gather information and impressions on both arms, the Phantom 2 Supreme and the TW Acustic 10.5, along with synergistic cartridge matches before reaching my decision. | |
| Cartridge recommendations for TW Acustic 10.5 arm. Yes, the EAR 88PB phono preamp, with 72 db gain indicated, and this is conservative. | |
| Phantom 2 arm using SME vs Graham mount Thanks Tobes and Syntax. I brought this up because I had previously read someone's Audiogon comments claiming he heard both mounts and felt the Graham sounded better than the SME in several areas. In correspondence with Jeff Catalano at Highwater,... | |
| TW Acustic 10.5 and Graham Phantom Supreme II I've also been looking for info on comparative listening impressions among a few highly regarded arms such as the Phantom 2 and Reed, teamed up with any Raven, preferably the One. I prefer a bit more of an up front but not aggressive presentation ... | |
| Cueing problem Unless you personally adjusted the tracking force, re-check it just to see if it's correct or if indeed it had been adjusted at the place that changed your cartridge. I had a similar episode not long ago when I experienced a wandering tonearm ever... | |
| Acustic Raven One vs Basis 2200 Signature I want to add something in terms of what I'm looking for: A sound that has a sense of ease in its presentation or tends toward relaxed, with instruments sounding more rounded or fleshed out. | |
| Acustic Raven One vs Basis 2200 Signature Stanwal...Your last sentence obviously can be pretty telling. It's why I'm hoping there are some who have listened to the two different tables using the same associated equipment, and have been able to note the separate contributions of each table... | |
| Acustic Raven One vs Basis 2200 Signature Dunlavy SC-4 speakers, Air Tight ATM-3 monoblock amps, EAR 88PB phono preamp, Dynavector XV-1S and Benz Ebony LP cartridges, SME IV.Vi tonearm, but possibly going to Reed arm w/copper wiring and Eichmann copper bullets. I like a sound that is slig... | |
| London BlueBack Discography? Several years back, Robert Moon and Michael Gray published The Audiophile's Guide to London Bluebacks containing comments on sound and performances of over 200 recordings made by Decca/London from 1958 to 1963. You'll probably have to do some hunt... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo: With all due respect, I think it's time for us to give this topic a rest(smile). | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo: I respect your effort in seeing that no stone is left unturned when it comes to those measurable and mechanical factors involved in accurately setting azimuth. Notwithstanding, on many past occasions, I've been able to enjoy my music cons... |
