| Calling all analog experts I can see you read Bear's thread. Good for you. What I'm understanding since having the outboard power supply installed less than two weeks ago is that transients do require significant torque delivered instantly in the case of a quartz locked DD ... | |
| Calling all analog experts Jsonic, you should be glad we've turned this discussion into a real, serious one looking at TT design parameters and constraints. If you search the archives you'll see it over and over--people just parroting away belt drive choices without any rea... | |
| Calling all analog experts Albert, the stylus is *nude* to begin with! | |
| Calling all analog experts Errata: #2 refers to stylus drag. | |
| Calling all analog experts "Other $1,500 tables might come closer of course, but I don't know any that would match it."I understand, very few people have a KAB modded Technics SL-1200MKII. The day before I took my 1200 to Kevin for installing the outboard power supply I was... | |
| OK, I said it... When Sean gets to hear my Creature on Steroids he'll end up getting an old SP-10, making a custom plinth and removing the linear tracking arm from the SOTA. My understanding of analog reproduction has changed a lot since I had the outboard power s... | |
| OK, I said it... The modded Groovemaster II KAB sells for the 1200 has the midrange of a $1,500 moving coil cartridge. It has absolutely NO midrange edge and the deep, solid bass and tracking of an integrated headshell DJ cartridge The performance is simply stunni... | |
| midfi turntable cable: revealing vs. forgiving The simplest you can do for that TT is to change the RCA jacks. To significantly improve the sound without having to do readjustments down the line would mean:1) cooking the whole wiring patch (headshell, tonearm, ICs). If you have a computer towe... | |
| PS Audio power plants I have tried the DeZorel vs my Elgar medical grade regenerator. The Dezorel is one hell of a beast is all I'm going to say. It's just as good as the Clear Image T4--according to Lak. I will put up my regenerator for sale in eBay for I have very li... | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... What gear to buy? Go to AudioCircle's manufacturer's circle and you'll find more than a few smaller companies that are for the music. At the top of my list are Channel Islands Audio and now Modwright is producing gear. Dusty's approach is to deliv... | |
| OK, I said it... I think Pbb has very acute hearing and is probably noticing stylus drag/speed changes produced at the warp. You seem to me like a modded 1200 candidate, where the analog sound will approach closer that of CD, but w/out artifacts. | |
| Need a transport solution-Suggestions? PC based? Someone sells a PC based transport direct mail, but I can't recall. I think it's right here in the archives or in Audiocircle. I think it's here. No, it's Audiocircle. Maybe it's here... | |
| New system too bright.Will different cables help ? Cables can make or break you, but you need to remember that NAD stuff tends to sound overly warm and smooth in exchange for details. I am a strong advocate of proper power delivery/noise control measures and will strongly suggest you start there. ... | |
| Cable Suggestions for my system? I would add to your list the Poiema series by Ridge Street Audio Designs. They are must hear cables and interconnects, if you can afford them... | |
| Analog under 2k? My recommendation is for you to search the archives. |
