| Cartridge for Micro Seiki MAX-237 Rloggie, congratulations on owning this great arm - I should never have sold mine, but life goes on! The Max arm(s) are distinguished by their lively sound and so the best cart match I found was something that leveraged that dynamic presentation. ... | |
| Step down voltage for Japan to US turntable You should buy a converter for $50 otherwise you will either burn out the motor or circuit control board after a few months - I am assuming this is a direct drive Hall motor type. table.I speak from bitter experience. One problem is that our 120V ... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II The MAS 282 sounds like an interesting tonearm. At first I thought John you made a typo and were referring to the ultra rare (read ultra expensive) Micro MAX 282. An arm I once had and now regret selling, it was one of the most dynamic, pure sound... | |
| ARC ls26 vs.SF Line-3/se Didn't want to take this thread in the wrong direction, but Fjn04 you are right, I wanted to point out that the SF Line 3SE is truly a preamp that can compete at the highest level with the best ARC has to offer. The ARC Ref 3 is a very high qualit... | |
| ARC ls26 vs.SF Line-3/se I have both a Line 3SE+ and the ARC Ref3. Frankly, hard to say one is better. The Ref3 does throw a bigger soundstage across, while the Line 3 has a deeper soundstage - take your pick there. The Ref3 at first seems to be more dynamic, but then you... | |
| Building plinths for quality DD tables? Impulseh2, I have an early IOj and it does best in an Ikeda FR64x rather than a new Ikeda 407, OTOH my Denon 103R performs best in the Ikeda. I also great great results with the IO in an SMEV, but it is a bit fiddly to install. I might try it one ... | |
| Teres Audio Verus Direct Couples Motor, Anyone? After several months with the Verus on my Micro-Seiki RX5000 I noticed a rumble started to appear a couple of weeks ago and the motor felt as though it was hunting. I took it away from the platter while running and the vibration dissapeared - so i... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Lew, yeah - and that reduces the noise below threshold, but I sensed the Shakti added something in addition to plain ol damping - but I'm not a big believer in audiovoodoo until I can do a control and the difference is significant, sustainable and... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Fred,The motor continues to deliver the goods. I first had the motor sitting on a detached (from the Micro plinth)solid piece of maple 5" thick on brass footers, but when I switched to the motor sitting on the same plinth as the table the bottom e... | |

| Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del Shane,You are correct as above - gain setting at ATT4 is attenuated 18dB to give a value of 62dB, not 60 - I was scribing during a quiet moment in the office, so a slip of the pen! The impedance values are as you describe.My unit was approx manufa... | |
| Aesthetix IO Sig V 2nd power supply & Lamm LP2 del Let me chip in with a couple of observations on the IO Sig. I have had mine for about a month (I am second owner of this unit 18 months old bought here on the Gon)and it superceded a hot rodded Sonic Frontiers Phono 1 SE with Amperex Bugle Boys. M... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option This is a very quick initial review on the new Verus motor just received for use on my Micro-Seiki RX5000 - detailed analysis to follow.The motor is easy to set up, needed some changes via dip switches on the board as outlined in the manual to get... | |
| Is it worth this tonearm? I have had both Moerch (Blue dot) and Triplanar in my systems and the most noticeable difference is in the lower registers where I found the Triplanar more rock solid and the Moerch is softer. As always arm matching with cartridges (and phono cabl... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II I am really pleased with my L75 / heavy plinth as mentioned earlier in this thread but I do have a discernable hum from the motor particulalrly sensitive to my low output Kondo-IOj. Has anyone got a proven solution, mu metal, copper etc.?Steve |
