| Graham Elite Wow. Apparently, the VPI 3D arm sounds quite good also. | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? That all sounds wonderful, Audiofun. I'm surprised by your results with the Halcyonics units, but then, I've never heard them.I admire your approach into analog. As you can afford one of the best tables, you saved yourself a lot of time and some m... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Audiofun, Congratulations on your SP10 MK3. The photographs are beautiful and the plinth that Artisan Fidelity designed seems very well suited for the purpose. I have read many reports about the superior performance of this turntable, particularly... | |
| Turntable on suspended floor - shelf or braces? I put a Vibraplane isolation platform under my suspended table and it solved all of the problems you mention but also isolates the table so well that I hear all sorts of new detail and extension. The sound improved tremendously. Details can be fou... | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited Where is Raul? I'm quite curious about his tonearm design. | |
| Dumb VTA Question I use a Mint LP arc-type protractor and looked at the alignment with slightly different SRA angles. The stylus tip basically shifted from the center of the inscribed arc line to the outer or inner edge of that line, and it is a very thin line. I c... | |
| Dumb VTA Question I thought I read that M. Fremer wrote that with a 9" arm, a 4mm change in height amounts to a 1 degree SRA change. I have a 12" arm and adjust my SRA for different LPs. I move my arm up and down in a 3mm range which amounts to about a 1/2 degree S... | |
| spring loaded platform non-suspended turntable Congratulations Crubio. I'm sure you will realize the benefit of isolation. On another forum I saw a photograph of the Rockport Sirius III. Interestingly, it sits on a custom stand designed for Rockport manufactured by Newport or TMC for their sci... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera or Magico S3 I have not heard the S3. It is a very new speaker and it is not in many dealerships yet. There are a few comparisons between the S5 and the Q3 on the net. Just do a search.I prefer the Q3 as I find it to be more neutrally balanced, transparent and... | |
| two way v. three way speakers So Bo, I missed your response to my question about whether or not you have heard the X350.8 in your system before buying it or whether or not you buy other equipment without first auditioning it.I have directly compared the XA160.5 to the XA160.8 ... | |
| two way v. three way speakers Bo, I don't mind you denigrating the Pass XP-20. I've directly compared it to the XP30 in my system for two weeks. The 30 is better and once that becomes a priority for me in my system, I will probably upgrade.What I'm curious about is that you se... | |
| two way v. three way speakers Thank you for your advice Bo. You don't have to believe me, but everything you have described in your systems from the blacks, to the 3D to every great adjective I have read you use in your many posts, I have that in my system. But also a few thin... | |
| two way v. three way speakers Bo, I have found that the 2D versus 3D experience can be very dependent on how the speakers and listener are placed within, and interact with, the room. I have heard very good 2D systems be completely transformed into 3D when someone comes in and ... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera or Magico S3 The OP was asking about the S3 which is so new that I have not had a chance to hear it yet. Audiolabyrinth, I have heard the Q3 though and it is one of the great speakers available today. It is extremely well balanced and neutral sounding. It is m... | |
| spring loaded platform non-suspended turntable There is no question that your SP10 would benefit from some kind of isolation. Minus K has the advantage that it is mechanical and does not need a compressor. However, as was mentioned earlier, the load need to be centered and the unit needs to be... |
