| Magnepan positioning Total waste of a magnepan. If you can't give them at least 4 ft. of space from the wall behind them, don't even bother.Oz | |
| How do I set anti skate on Nottingham Anna arm???? Doug,I did not discount the importance of cleaning records. I have a Nitty Gritty myself which sees lots of action. But I have friends who have lots of records who don't own a RCM, but still clean their records in the sink. Not the preferred metho... | |
| How do I set anti skate on Nottingham Anna arm???? I would place the phono stage at the top of your list. This can make a huge improvement in your vinyl playback. The Dyna is pretty good, so it would be the last thing I would replace. Afte the phono stage I would go with the Neuance shelf, then th... | |
| How do I set anti skate on Nottingham Anna arm???? BTW, you can do much to improve the sound of your rig by ditching the MDF plinth that comes with the Spacedeck in favor of a Neuance platform. Just as an experiment, try the table directly on your rack, sans the Nott base. I think you will like wh... | |
| How do I set anti skate on Nottingham Anna arm???? Don't use the blank groove on the Nottingham platter "dust cover". As per Tom Fletcher:"set the anti-skating so that the arm slighlty stalls at the leadout groove before gently moving towards the spindle". You could always buy a copy of the Hi-Fi ... | |
| Where can I start to improve my sound the most 2ch Cinematic Systems.....Realise that you have a surround system.Then stop playing CD's in two channel, get the contour center and some Audience 52 rears and leave two channel behind. Put this mantra into your head:LP's= 2channelCD's= Multi-channelWh... | |
| VR4 Gen1 + DNA-125 or HCA-2? VR4 Gen1 + DNA-125 or HCA-2? Neither. VR4s love tubes. That is what you want. Something with around 100/channel.Oz | |
| Why does my new tube amp and preamp sound so bad? illenema1@wmconnect.com says>A tube preamp will not have the lowend of a tube preamp.<Anybody care to take a shot at this one???Oz | |
| VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...? I agree with most of the above with the exception of the comments about the Spacearm. I have owned two Spacedecks and have tried a variety of arms. A modded RB600, an OL Silver, OL Encounter, Bluenote Borghese and Borromeo. I prefer the Spacearm t... | |
| How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound? I only heard them briefly at a dealer last year, not enough to form an opinion. But just yesterday there were 8 used pairs here on the Gon for sale. They seem to be dropping like flies recently.Oz | |
| Lack of vinyl bass and midrange I also wonder about the suspension of the Monster cartridge after all these years. That would probably be my first guess at what your problem is.Oz | |
| Magnapan 1.6 and 65 inch tv I'm not talking about electronics, although what you said IS debatable.Speaker placement. Ever heard of it? Put your speakers where they will accurately reproduce a movie soundtrack in relation to your screen and they will not be positioned best f... | |
| Magnapan 1.6 and 65 inch tv Oh, I know how good maggies sound. I used to own a pair of 1.6s with heavily modified xovers. But it seems like a waste of ANY good speaker to relegate it to HT duties. I guess it all depends on where your priorities lie. For me, my modest Boston ... | |
| Magnapan 1.6 and 65 inch tv What a waste of a good speaker. I really have to laugh when I look at the systems posted on the Gon with big ole honking TVs between the speakers. What a joke. Sure it's good for movies, but don't fool yourself into thinking you are hearing music ... | |
| Unipivot vs. Gimbal Both approaches have their attributes. But on your Nott table, you will likely find no better match than a Nott arm. A used Spacearm will be in your price range, but I highly recommend the Ace-Space if you can up your budget. I have tried many oth... |
