| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Thanks very much, Lew. You and I are in complete agreement on this. Frankly, since it is we the listeners who are trying to arrange things for our own satisfaction and not anyone else's, it makes sense adjusting by our ears must ultimately take pr... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Though the headshell is fixed on my SME, I have been able to loosen the screws at the arm's base and get some limited azimuth adjustment with the arm. Resting a small, very light bubble level on the top front portion of the arm has also helped. Be... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? "The Kansui was more natural and solid...". That sounds fine with me. Thanks. | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Hi Jarrett, I notice you have an Ortofon A-90 in addition to the Miyajima Kansui. Any chance you might be able to provide a brief comparative description of the sound of each with your Reed arm once you've had the chance to try those combos? Thank... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? I've had very good results with adjustment despite the fixed azimuth of the SME, and have been able to hit that sweet spot with some regularity by attending to other adjustments. Invariably, I still know what to listen for, and as you say, when it... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo: I fully agree about being aware of some of the important variables you and Lew mention that are associated with different parts of the turntable, their interaction with the tonearm and the kinds of problems that might ensue if vigilance a... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? For anyone interested, check the chart at the bottom of this site page for information regarding type of wood used with and effective mass of Reed tonearms with or without an azimuth adjuster:http://www.reed.lt/research/58-wood-vs-the-rest-testing... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? "...you pick your tonearm to match your cartridge..."Lewm, did you mean, pick your cartridge to match your tonearm? That seems easier. But since each component has its own makeup and sound, it's still a complex issue. I had an interesting experien... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo: Forgot to mention, I have the long discontinued VPI HW-19 Mk.3 turntable. | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Mike: if you'd like to discuss the Talea here, that's perfectly okay with me. I'd be interested in hearing your impressions too. I'll leave it up to you. | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo...Knocking on the Dunlavy produces a high, kind of hollow sound, but I've long known that. I've still been able to work with related equipment in such a way that I've managed to "paint" as you say a pretty satisfying sound. I read some com... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo...You've got me smiling, because I know exactly what you're saying when you talk about fine differences in sound, age related hearing loss and using cables for tonal coloring like the painter uses his brush. Like you, I'm certainly familia... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Mike: I agree, three tables and five arms---not too practical. Enjoy the Taleas, and best of luck to you. | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? David12: I previously owned the Zyx Airy 3 also. My feelings about it were exactly the same as yours, and I ultimately became fatigued with its sound. | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Mikelavigne: Both for sale? Where to from here? |
