How to use Feickert Protractor on SME V Tonearm As far as I know, SME did not assume anything about the cantilever length. They assumed there would be an industry standard horizontal dimension specification of 9.5 mm from the center of the cartridge mounting holes to the stylus tip, regardless ... | |
Magico S5 review I agree. Most Magico speakers need incredible amounts of power into 4 ohms. Much more than you would think. | |

Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Congratulations Jason. I knew you would love this table. Another acquaintance just got one with the V-12 arm and AirTight Supreme, and he could not be happier.What cartridge are you using and would you mind describing what you like so much about t... | |
Picture Thread Nice photo of the TechDas. Why the Stillpoint record weight when he has vacuum hold down? | |
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm, I don't know what you think of my SME 30/12, but it is a modern belt-drive, and the motor is mounted on the sub chassis which is separated from the platter by the four suspension towers. This prevents motor vibrations from effecting the plat... | |
Picture Thread Nice photo of your friend Thomas' arm. Never saw one of Raul's arm. | |
Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Syntax, had you heard depth and physical presence in that system before with a different turntable?I read that Artisan Fidelity does modify the power supply and electronics in the table and controller. Perhaps not the same mod level as the Krebs, ... | |
Not as much activity on analog here What happened to Dertonarm and to Raul? | |
Not as much activity on analog here Thuchan, you remind me of the time when Raul and Dertonarm were active here and discussing/arguing over each of their respective tonearm designs, as well as string drive, massive platters versus direct drive and belts.Dertonarm got busy developing... | |
Not as much activity on analog here I agree with Chayro. I am interested in reading about new analog products: phono stages, tables, arms, cartridges. Some other sites like WBF which allow for pictures and direct quotes from other posts provide more analog discussions about what is ... | |
Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 Melbguy, Pass Labs is another amplifier brand that sounds great with Magico. | |
Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 I chose a Mini II over the V2 and did not really like the S1 when I heard it. The S1 is the entry level speaker, has lower quality parts and sounds fairly thin to me. The Mini II was an all out effort for state of the art in small speaker designs.... | |

Do You Have a Favorite Disk to Set VTA/SRA? I'm with Dougdeacon. I do the same based on the methods he taught me. But what may not be clear is that my collection is divided between five different heights (SRA/VTA angles) ranging in 0.5mm. So if I'm feeling a bit lazy and want to spend the e... |
