Two terms I don't understand - please explain
Jan, most often slam refers to bass impact. That is you feel the sound waves hitting you rather than just hear the notes being played.PRAT refers to Pace Rhythm And Timing. This applies to all playback media not just analogue . If a system has poo... 
What is the BEST phono stage
Tjnif, I too am using the Debut but with Vector 4 and Orpheus. If you are not getting the Synchro Wave PS may I suggest you do?I have recently changed from a Xono to the ASR Basis Exclusive and I am very, very impressed with the ASR from every per... 
Optimal loading for the Orpheus
Back on to the subject at hand. I have recently bought an ASR Basis Exclusive and have been experimenting with loading for my Orpheus. I have to concur with those who state that the ideal loading is determined by the phono stage. With my Xono I fo... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Dgad, re the Adjust +, a 180 gm pressing is included. I agree it looks very interesting. I think I'll be getting one. 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Halcro, in this instance I do not think the difference in sound between the two combinations is due to the Copperhead's pre-eminence in its field as the sound of the Copperhead/XV1s combination was very close to what I listen to every day as I men... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
This was not actually a cartridge review. Rather, it was an opinion on two arms each using a highly regarded cartridge. Both, for this listener in an unfamiliar system. It would be unfortunate if what was clearly observable - the high level of per... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Halcro, many thanks once again for the great hospitality you showed Downunder and me. A most enjoyable day listening to both well known music and some new which I would like to hear again. While we listened to the Grandezza with the Universe and t... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
I would have to concur that the extraordinarily detailed manual reveals a very well thought out arm which should allow very precise and repeatable adjustments. I love the counterweight mechanism and ability to make very fine adjustments. Unlike Si...

Halcro, do you think it possible that you are overstating the "vision thing"? By this I mean it may be possible that a designer comes up with an product that is less to do with a grand vision and a meticulous attention to every possible performanc... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Halcro, as a SS rather than tube guy I used to find it rather strange that someone would pay a substantial sum for say a tubed phono stage and immediately replace some or all the tubes and then claim that they were in sonic nirvana. I mean, why di... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Halcro, I am referring to your answer to Sirspeedy. Even if we accept your contentious assertion that to get to the master tape you must have the Copperhead where does that leave the Cobra? I'm sorry but there simply cannot be two absolutes. It si... 
Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate?
Halcro, you have compared two arms on your table in your system with a limited number of cartridges. You have a preference for the new Copperhead over the Grandezza. This new, correctly aligned and constructed Copperhead is in a "different univers... 
Blue Note 45rpm reissue
Plinko, as you have suggested Leesa at Acoustic Sounds who is great to deal with has responded promptly and has advised me to keep the disc and a replacement will be sent out. Unfortunate that it happened and I really cannot understand how the QC ... 
Blue Note 45rpm reissue
Unfortunately my recently received copy of Analogue Productions version of the Jackie McLean album has what looks like a piece of paper imbedded halfway through the first track of side 3 and the rest of the album is not exactly noise free! Does no...
