| compressor for airbearing table Any pictures? Is this the Ariadne with the reference package, with the lead motor mount, heavier solid lead platter, signature arm and lead record clamp? Is the plinth white or granite? Did it come with the oil trough? If so, is the trough on it's... | |
| compressor for airbearing table Oilmanmojo, you have it exactly backwards. The platter, although heavy, should take only about 4 PSI whereas the arm wants 40 or more optimally. If the platter takes more than this the bearing needs truing up. The WISA is not the best but in any c... | |
| cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra Excellent! Thank you John! We really could use more of that around here. | |
| cartridge Benz, Koestu, Lyra I woule love it if people wrote more specifically than "it was better" or even "it was way better." Obviously we are all juggling system coloration/compatibility and personal bias/frame of reference. Jmcgrogan? Wanna give us blow by blow on the ca... | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 As far as I know B & O carts only fit B & O arms. You can improve the sound of the Pearl by removing the stylus from the cart body and snipping off the plastic housing around the metal insert before reinserting. Considering the price of th... | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 Excellent, I'll be curious to hear what you think. Bear in mind the option of upgrades. | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 Do you have a P3 around for comparison? | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 Just a thought: seems like VTA would be easy to adjust on a Rega with some kind of mat type interface of different thicknesses between platter and subplatter or between platter and mat. | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 The P3 doesn't come with a cartridge. | |
| Which upgrades for my Rega Planar 3? Boston Audio Mat1 platter mat - $199, Mapleshade Heavyfoot cones x 3 - $120 into a Mapleshade Maple Platform - $75, suspened on sorbothane squares - $20, Kerry Audio Design F2 counterweight - $129 and Acrotec armwire straight thru to male RCA - $150. | |
| Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution Re: the safety of Walker Prelude, I'm not a chemist but I do know Lloyd to be very down to earth and extremely picky about the finer points of everything he does, in this case, record care. I know it's going out on a limb but I actually do trust L... | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 Just in case my post was confusing, I was suggesting getting the new improved Rega P3 and adding the moter controler upgrade and the other aftermarket upgrades including the VTA adjuster, counter wieght and mat. You can do the upgrades over time i... | |
| Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution FYI, I just talked to Lloyd and he is developing a directional brush, three of which will be used with the cleaning system, one for each step. | |
| Gunk will not clean off LP ? Check out the thread re: Lloyd Walker's new Prelude LP cleaning system. | |
| Looking for turntable for under $1000 The new improved Rega P3 and motor controler upgrade due out in a couple months with the various aftermarket upgrades including VTA adjuster, Boston Audio Design Mat1, Kerry Audio Design F2 counterweight, might be the sweet spot to beat. |
