| Turntable speed accuracy Don, I think you underestimate the situation."Speed variation "is" noticeable on classical piano "IF" you have played a piano, but typically the audience could care less. "I cannot play piano, or any other instrument, or read music. I'm certain I ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Since experiencing the sonic quality DD and rim-drive tables within the past couple of years, I've accepted statements about the importance of (minimizing) stylus drag and constant platter rotation. Earlier this year Michael Fremer made an interes... | |
| best amp for Magnepan 3,7 The Halo JC-2 is a line stage. Did you intend to recommend the JC-1s? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, you beat me to it. So far as I know Mexico remains in North America. It did not pass Central America and collect 100 pesos while shifting southward.And while we're on that thought, do turntables in the Southern Hemisphere rotate counter-clo... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chris, this is from the manual for my SP-10 Mk2A:"The quartz phase-locked control system and the DC servo motor with large torque can maintain each rated speed of the turntable even with a load torque of up to 5 kg-cm (4.3 lbs. in.). If 500 tonear... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System If I understand Raul's position here then I fully agree with him. The role of the turntable and tonearm is to be as neutral and accurate (adding or subtracting no colorations of their own). Then each person can pick the cartridge that presents the... | |
| Vandersteen 4 I can't speak for Richard Vandersteen but it seems pretty reasonable that when he brought out a new model and called it the Quatro, he was simply trying to avoid confusion with the original 4. After all, the new model fell in line between the 3A a... | |
| Vandersteen 4 Joshc, it sounds like you decided to keep your 3A Sigs. If additional bass was a reason to ask about the 4s, why not now consider a pair of Vandersteen subs? That would be far easier to implement and likely a better overall result. | |
| Removable headshells 101 Thinking further on this, it seems to me that any headshell with such poor structural integrity that one could "actually see the shell convulsing", then it could be twisted (albeit slightly) by hand as well. I mean, how much energy does the stylus... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Nandric, what is your source that the Orsonics now being sold are made in China? I recently purchased a "NOS" AV-101 and if it is a gray market copy, someone did a pretty good job. The fit and finish are high quality. Also, the standard box is mar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK Raul, I'll ask . . .Which of your many tables/arms/cartridges provided this "can't quit" experience? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris, maybe it is just me but this seems to be a bit confusing. You said you tried two tts on the side wall, "directly opposite the firing of one of my speakers". Does this mean one speaker is toed-in to such a degree that it is aimed at one of y... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris, I can offer an experience to help answer your question.My turntable is placed on a 60" shelf, fitted within an alcove on a side wall of the listening room. The shelf is 18" deep and the walls forming the sides of the alcove extend a few inc... | |
| What would happen if Maggie and Wilson Mated? You'd get a Waggie! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hearing loss -- I first noticed some hearing loss 20 years ago, so as that increased I got fitted with hearing aids (professionally done, not the $395 specials advertised on TV and in newspapers). Unfortunately the hearing industry has not progres... |
