| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Has anyone compared these three rim drives: Salvation, TTWeights, VPI? | |
| Eggelston Andre 1 I owned the Eggleston Rosa for many years and I agree with Kurt that this brand benefits from lots of power. I used Pass Labs Class A amplifiers with my Rosa and they sounded great. You could look for a used X350.5. Eggleston and Pass used to be p... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Perhaps this is a naive question, but do the magnets that levitate the platter effect the cartridge in any way? Maybe the platter is shielded, but I've seen a cartridge with strong magnets smash into the spindle of an SP 10 due to the magnetic att... | |
| Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps? You are welcome, Drubin. Hope my observations help. Bo, I did post that on WBF, but not everyone hear reads that. | |
| Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps? Last night Ian (MadFloyd) invited me and two other good audio buddies over to compare the Pass Labs .5 amps to the newest .8 amps. He uses an entire Pass Labs chain of electronics: XP25, XP30 and XA160.5. I also have an all Pass chain consisting o... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, thanks for your comments and I appreciate your candor. I've found it very difficult to ascribe sonic characteristics to components in the context of different systems.In the US, the SME 20/12 is about $28K and the Kodo/Schroeder perhaps $3... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit wrote on 3/6/14: And I still contend one would have to spend 15x the entry ticket, at least, to surpass it's performance.I wrote this in response on 3/6/14: Spirit, have you ever heard a turntable/arm/cartridge combination that surpasses th... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, have you ever heard a turntable/arm/cartridge combination that surpasses the performance of what you own, at 15X or at any amount? | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Dkarmeli, that is interesting. It is the first I've read of variation among samples of the KAB strobe. I don't mean to defend the KAB, but I don't know anything about the Ortofon units. How do you know that the Ortofon is accurate? Have you tested... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Halcro, I applaud your efforts to document the effects of stylus drag to support the argument in objective terms. And your last post is very clear and a good explanation of what you are doing and attempting to show. My only criticism is that your ... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Syntax, I agree with your last post and do see the seeming contradiction in Halcro's comments. Having a large BD turntable which has a slight speed error which I can not hear, but which is evident with the TimeLine, I guess puts me in the subjecti... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Halcro, That is interesting. If your blindfolded friends can't identify the DD Victor from the BD Raven, but they have a clear preference for one over the other, what is it that they like? I must not understand your point.I would also suggest that... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Halcro, that's an impressive video which supports your point. Clearly the DD Victors and Technics Sp10s show the best results in this limited database. It makes me wonder why anyone would listen to any other drive types and why there is not more d... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge We all have different tastes which accounts for one of the reasons that there are not more Straingauges out there. As you well know, it is difficult to audition cartridges in one's own system. We are often left having to rely on what we hear from ... | |
| My new Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge Thanks, Spirit. That makes sense and it must sound tremendous at this point. |
