| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @uberwalz.Yes. I started with the blue, but learned the hard way what happens when I don't wear my glasses during needle drop and it falls off the side of the lp. Ouch! So I needed a replacement and moved up to the purple heart at Larry's sugges... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G I have owned a spacedeck with spacearm for years and love it. Another stellar cartridge to consider is the Kiseki line. I upgraded from the blue to the purple heart and have been thrilled with it. I also recently upgraded to the heavy platter w... | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? According to the website, Last has been available since 1979 and I could find no negative reviews or comments posted on line after hours of searching. All reports were similar in that the sonic signature was not degraded with use and albums treat... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat uberwaltz, The pins in the IEC are good to paste. If you have a tube amp pasting the pins on the tubes a third to half the way up also has a great effect. It's not that hard and really worth it. After all pins are pasted, plug in and take out an... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Just had a very cool "P. Path" moment. I've had and enjoyed the album Buckingham/Nicks for decades and feel I know it well. Just listened to "Crystal" and I never knew Stevie was just to the right of Lindsey during the harmony part of the song. ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @sbayne. Because the inventor who seems to know his business has suggested it as a use. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Just out of curiosity, has anyone placed a mat under their turntable? If so, what result did you notice. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat One aspect that has been overlooked is that a mat will affect the component above and below it regardless of shelving according to Tim. My components are in a vertical rack and I have placed one under my Preamp, magnet side down on the shelf. Im... | |
| WD 40 to remove scratches on vinyl ! The video is amazing. Others have tried this and have found that it did eliminate almost all noise. Unfortunately during play the stylus gets so much sludge deposited on it that even after multiple plays the stylus still dredges up gunk. The re... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic This thread has become a kindergarten brawl on steroids. It's amazing how the gamut of personalities and interactions change little as the decades march on. One kid brings something he thinks is interesting to class to show and tell and he gets ... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII In response to Peter, I believe the discrepancy between the KT 88s and the KT 150s is likely related to musical style preference. My understanding is the Kevin listens mostly to softer musical pieces which may favor the KT88s. My taste is more t... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII Today I compared the VAC 200iq with the kt 150's and the Pass x350.8. The Kt 150s are a HUGE game changer compared with the Kt88s. Bigger everything in a good way. More punch with crazy good mids and excellent imaging. The Pass had a definite ... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII Thanks for the encouragement fischer. I talked with the dealer and we will roll the kt 150s in 2 weeks. Thanks for reminding me to experiment with the taps as well. I'm really interested to hear the difference the new tubes will make to the soun... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII Dr-John-- I think it was just old and tired. It was an old McInosh Mc 2002 which I kept on at all times. Came home and heard an awful buzzing sound. I wasn't sure what component was causing the racket until I hit the power button and everythin... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII I'm not sure what tabs were used but the stock KT 88's were in place. I did discuss a trial with KT 150's. I'll be back in a few weeks and ask the dealer to roll the 150's. Tomorrow I'm auditioning a local ARC GS 150 with a vinyl set up so I s... |
