| SME 312S versus SME V-12 Recent reports from Albert Porter's system page indicate that there is a substantial sonic difference between these two arms. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Dev, are you saying that you can tap the armboard or the spindle on the MS table while the needle is resting on an LP and hear nothing through the speakers? If so, that would mean the platter and tonearm are incredibly inert. Very impressive. I've... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Thanks, My buddy is at RMAF now and I hope he has a chance to hear these speakers in room #443. I missed the show this year but have fond memories of RMAF 2010. I look forward to the reports and the photos. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Another high mass belt drive worth considering in the $10-15K range is the new SME 20/3. I have not heard one, but reports are that it is fairly close to the Model 30, though you would not be able to mount your 12" arm. Perhaps a used SME 20/12. G... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 As you have a Porter plinth and Albert's former reference arm, the SME 312S, you may want to check out his latest comments on his system page about his new tonearm. It may change your bass performance. I would also think you could add some superio... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Will these speakers be at RMAF this weekend? | |
| Upgrades to Analog System Though my system is different from yours, I found myself asking the same question about two years ago. I did two things which dramatically increased my enjoyment of listening to music. First I hired Jim Smith to voice my system to my room. Then I ... | |
| Digital microscope recommendations Two things seem to be discussed here: checking for stylus wear and checking for SRA angle. These are very distinct applications and may need different instruments. I think an inexpensive USB microscrope can be used for SRA but not really for stylu... | |
| Best T/T Pods/ wood blocks to eliminate vibrations I don't think any of these devices will eliminate vibration. Some may be more effective than others. I experimented with spikes, pads, wood blocks and have found they pale in comparison to a proper vibration isolation platform like the Vibraplane ... | |
| Mint Best Tractor still in business? Mint is in Hong Kong. He ships end of the month and it can take two weeks to arrive. For both of my protractors, I got an email with tracking number and photo of shipping box with label.I'm surprised that he has not responded to your emails. He is... | |
| DIY TT Stand on concrete floor - I'm confused I don't know about spiking the rack versus spiking the speakers. I do both and find it works in my room, though I don't have concrete floors. In addition, you may be immune to most vibrations, but in my experience, you will not know for sure until... | |
| Best speaker on used market around 10,000.00 Eggleston Andra and Magico V2 | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Glad you like your non belt TT and Xoverless speakers. They must be awesome. Congratulations. | |
| Magico S5 Debut David Michael Audio Ebm, Do you still have your Magico Mini 2s? What do you think of the newer Q and S series, in all seriousness? | |
| Magico S5 review Podeschi, Thanks for posting and congratulations on your new speakers. Could you describe how the two Qs sounded different from the S5 and why you decided to buy the latter? Did you hear them in the same system? The S5 is the least expensive of th... |
