| HELP HELP - VENDETTA RESEARCH SCP2A FAULTY Hi Lewm - I think I have found the 'unobtanium' company. Trust me it was a flipping pain in the backside to find them - I felt like a stalker tracking posts by John Curl on another site. I spoke to a chap called Ben Jalopy - a pretty decent guy wh... | |
| HELP HELP - VENDETTA RESEARCH SCP2A FAULTY Hi LewmYou have read entirely correctly:- I lost signal entirely when I went back.I opened the amp up - no burning smells - not sure about loose wiresI am confused due to having heard something from the right channel initially.Spoke to a guy calle... | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Dear ChaksterAre you in a rush to get a plinth? I am developing a very interesting plinth for my Sony TTS8000 - I am convinced that it will be transferable to the SP10.I don't want to give you too much detail save to say that it's not all about ma... | |
| How important is a good rack? Makes a world of difference - especially with vinyl. I have a Townshend Seismic Stand - they are brilliant. | |
| Where to improve phono chain? How much are you spending Shaq? What is it that you want from your front end - more musical sound - or is it higher resolution.If it's being more 'musical' then consider an EAR 834P for instance (good value and very musical)I am told the Rowland i... | |
| High End cartridges and the built quality Not being funny but if you are unhappy why not send it to John Carr. He's a good guy and will not want an unhappy customer, and as a matter of pride I'm sure he will rectify the problem | |
| High End cartridges and the built quality Very interesting thread. I recall meeting Dr Feickert and he told me that Ortofon are in fact the most consistent cartridge - perhaps due to the fact they are one of the bigger manufacturers. | |
| Turntable sibilance Can I suggest you get some shims and sort out azimuth | |
| Turntable sibilance I recall reading somewhere that Rega arms have problems handling the energy imparted on a moving coil (whatever that means) - on the other hand some reckon it is the only genuinely good bearing out there. There are several good rewire kits out the... | |
| Turntable sibilance What tonearm cable are you using? You may sibilance as a result of earth grounding/lack/inadequacy thereof.Have a listen to a Townshend Trough turntable and they cut out sibilance almost entirely which makes you think that you have lost out on tre... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi LewmJust to give all parties an update. I have gone with a bit of a balanced mix of compromises so to speak in my grand plans. But just so as to whet a bit of your appetites I have ordered 6 pieces of aluminium thus far - they are to be chamfer... | |
| High end cartridge made in USA? Audio Note make cartridges in the UK | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi AigengaIn all fairness I am not a fan of armpods as I think they are a bit clumsy and add-on in my view as opposed to those being part of the plinth. Likewise forming part of the whole plinth/turntable just strikes me as a heck of a lot tidier ... | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi CTNot a believer in magic - not even david copperfield? paul daniels?I guess a bit of experience may help as well...LOL | |
| Skeletal vs Plinth style turntables Hi ctI have read the articles by catsquirrel. They are theoretically quite sound, but there is a big BUT - that lenco is the only plinth(less) deck he has made and propagation changes with mass. In other words theory and no practice...All said and... |
