| sme tonearm cartridge help Please?? 3009 S2 The Grado Prestige Gold is $180 list, tracks at 1.5 grams and is smooth and warm. | |
| Great bass from a linear tracking arm? To continue on Rushton's remark:"design of the arm (e.g., bearing rigidity) has a huge impact."The Walker, the (now defunct) Maplenoll, which I own, and the Kuzma are all very high air pressure designs although the Kuzma's bearing is much shorter.... | |
| Lloyd walker pre-amps BTW, I concur completely with Rushton. Well said. | |
| Lloyd walker pre-amps I have also listened to Lloyd's system. It may be relevent for you to know that the phono stage is perfectly capable of use without a line stage, It has sufficient gain and a vanishingly low output impedence. Lloyd likes the effect of tubes in the... | |
| How to Convert Analog Tapes to CD? There are many CD recorders available as well as hard drive recorders and flash card recorders. There are also people who offer this service. | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Thanx yanx! just repeating what I'd heard (a risky business at best) re: the Io/Wavestream reference. Definitely looking forward to soaking up the warm wet West Coast Winter weather, and the tunes, both live and otherwise. | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 I will be in the Bay Area shortly and plan on stopping in on the Analogue Room. Evidently one of the owners is also part owner of Wavestream... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Thanks Albert for your thoughtful and compassionate input on my question. As is often the case, especially with those products "good enough to qualify for that", it is a matter of taste what a person chooses for ones own. With that said, there is ... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Gregadd, pardon me, didn't mean to hit a nerve. Just noticed Albert Porter had Lloyd's table; there were a few other phono stages mentioned; and I was hoping to hear some more familiar reference points for those of us who haven't had the pleasure ... | |
| Experience with Raul's Essential 3150 Raul, perhaps you could explane the "cartridge floating" balanced configuration you mentioned.Also, any thoughts in this context about the Lloyd Walker's phono stage which is another attempt at no compromise? | |
| Vibration Isolation for Rega P3 I like upstateaudio's example but would try the cones directly into the maple with the vibropods or sorbothane under the granite. | |
| Thinking of modding my 834p, or should I move on? BTW, the Vishays are bulk metal foil, not metal film; less noise and edginess. They are also available nude which is better sounding but physically delicate. IMHO the Hovlands would be in the direction of smoothing over detail, perhaps not in the ... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? Garebear, if the resonances are truly being effectively channeled out and external influences isolated, the sonic result should be more harmonically rich as the crud is removed to reveal the real sound. Any true upgrade, as opposed to a juggling o... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? check out what Lloyd Walker has done with his table. There should be a link from his site to an in depth review where it is described how he has it on a thick wood slab with a bunch of sorbathane pieces between that and the shelf. Loading the TT w... | |
| Art Audio Vinyl one vs Sutherland PhD David12, to be fair to audiofeil, I believe he is taking issue with your assuming that the differences between the Vinyl Reference and the K & K must be small when you haven't even compared them. Without having heard either of them, I agree wi... |
