| installing the SME V tonearm in the Technics SP10 Stringreen makes a good point. Start with making sure the platter is level and the armboard is level. If both of these surfaces are level, or parallel to each other, then, assuming you can get the arm to fit, the headshell, which is what is critic... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Raul, when one slides a cartridge in the headshell 0.3mm to make a very slight change in overhang because the SRA has been adjusted, how does one achieve this tiny move without rotating the cartridge about its ZENITH angle? With some stylii profil... | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 Well, I did move the power supplies down so both are on the middle shelf and both control units are on the top shelf. I measured the noise coming out of the speakers at full volume with my Radio Shack SPL. Tweeter 54 dB and midrange 65 dB before t... | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 Thanks Downunder. I appreciate your perspective. The XP-25 and XP-30 are certainly on my list for the next two major upgrades to my system. It may be a while though. It's costing more and more to go up to the next level.I now have the power suppli... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle I think of it like this: If the fundamental is being obscured by the harmonics, the harmonics are arriving too early. I hear this when the arm is too low in the back. If the fundamental occurs unnaturally early, or there appears to be a minute lag... | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 Downunder, could you elaborate on the different sonics between the 15 and 25? | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Using my MINT LP arc protractor, it is very clear that changes in VTA (SRA) alter overhang. It is more severe at the outer edge than at the inner grooves because of the trace of the arc. IOW, the variance away from the arc is greatest at the begin... | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 I also have the XOno. Someone told me that the XP-25 is basically designed for those who have/need two phono inputs because they have two tables or two arms. It's also for those who like the convenience of front panel dials for easier loading and ... | |
| ultrasonic record cleaner Buconero, Who proved that Ultrasonic is better than Loricraft or Keith Monks? Could you provide a link to a review or comparison?I agree it is far more convenient, but does it clean better? In my experience the Audio Desk is not better than my Lor... | |
| Seeking opinions about Pass Labs 250.5 amp. Bo, sounds like you prefer the X.5 to the XA.5. How would you describe the difference? Thanks. | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 I own the Pass XOno and have heard the Rhea in a different system. But I have never compared the two directly. So, like the OP, I'm interested in how they sound different. I wish Mechans and others who have a preference for the Rhea would explain ... | |
| ultrasonic record cleaner Loricraft is quiet and extremely effective and not nearly as expensive as the Monks. But it is slow depending on the fluids and it is not an Ultrasonic cleaner. | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 Yes, thank you. I'm more interested in learning how Mechans would describe their different sound. Sorry for being less than clear. | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 Mechans, how would you describe the differences between the two stages? | |
| Ayre mx-r vs. Pass xa 60.5 Icorem, I would consider those speakers fairly inefficient. They are similar to my old Eggleston Rosa and the Pass Aleph 2 (100 watt, Class A) were not enough to drive them properly. I then bought the XA100.5 and they were better. When I changed s... |
