| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI I'm not familiar with the Rogue phono section but I can't imagine it being bad. | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI I've finally updated my virtual system and have posted pictures of my modded out TD 850. I tried to show everything that I did to it.Ray | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Buy some Dynamat and apply it to the underside of the table. It does a great job of damping resonance. I'm sure it is a looker and, if particular care is given to modding, it will sound very good. My experience tells me that after upgrading you to... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Try piano on inner grooves for wow and flutter. Maybe yes, maybe no. | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI I would love to see pictures of your table. A Music Hall Cruise Control or Phoenix system would also be a great add on down the road.Enjoy! | |
| What is Technics thinking? Mods are already being done to the power supply, thus improving the apparent and still problematic cogging effect that the new unit has. Also, replacing the tonearm plate and tone arm appears to bring the table up to snuff with some reports indica... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI No doubt.....just buying a Prime will beat a 160 series maxed out mod. However, I think the only thing he has left is to replace the tonearm on his, as other mods have been done. Might as well, I say. That is only 500 as opposed to 3000. Upgrade t... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI So, building a better plinth is a waste of time? Modifying and building upon an already existing design is also a waste of time? That flies in the face of logic because without such activity progress would never occur. Nothing is perfect and every... | |
| Klipsch Hersey 111 opinions Limited high and low extention and can be a bit honky. Mods can improve them and tubes help. At low levels they can engage. Even though they can play loud they tend towards sounding hard, forced and lose resolution.I enjoyed them for late night m... | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI The Thorens TD 850 is a different beast. It was made by Acoustic Signature and is built like a tank. It is a non-suspended table that absolutely has no resemblance to their sprung tables.Stock this tables was very good. What I've done to it has el... | |
| Greatest American Rock and Role Bands of ALL Time The Grateful Dead were an American treasure. They did more for and to music than any band before or after. Anyone who says, "sure they were popular but not great" has never given them the time or heard them live. Forget about their studio albums, ... | |
| Can a buyer back out with no penalty? He offered and listened and didn't like it. Did you lose anything more than your time? If not, just move on.Back in the day when you responded to ads in the newspaper you might work out a price before going over and viewing the item. When you arri... | |
| choosing a tonearm for my new michell gyro Why not a Michell Tecnoarm? | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI Yes, I was referring to the Well Tempered Record Player.Yes, it is fun modding and pushing classic tables to their max. You get your hands dirty, have more skin in the game and end up with something personal. Besides, it is alot of fun, too.Right ... | |
| JM Lab Micro Utopias Well, I've got another month into the Micro's and have learned a lot about them. Set up is a bit fussy. It is not that they will sound bad in a position that is good enough, but rather they respond to small adjustments and will pay off with contin... |
