| Kleos Sibilance "VPI arms don't require drilling the armboard. You simply screw it in the correct place, and set it up according to the cartridge. Very, Very easy."Point was they are not like any other. Can't drop in a Rega or an SME which would be the two most c... | |
| Kleos Sibilance markd51: Acoustic interaction? In what way?In my case the adjustments have been checked and rechecked.Look at their website, they sell MM's and a HOMC. One of their people told me they like heavy cartridges. Not the sort of folks that would want a... | |
| Kleos Sibilance "Does anyone know of a drop in replacement for the JMW 9. I am open to suggestions or is it just a matter of starting over."There are none. VPI does not use any standard mounting hole. Like me, you must start over.Sorry 'bout that,Robert | |
| Kleos Sibilance "Maybe I should try a Rega RB300 and see if the problem goes away. I guess it is a pretty good value."Ixnay on the Rega. No VTA adjustment unless you buy the Mitchell mod. I believe the Rega's to be common not great. What is the weight of your Ben... | |
| Fozgometer? "I used the Cardas lp it has 1K L and R tones i believe tracks 9 10 and 11"Hey,You have the older one? The 2010 update only appears to have one 1khz track and I suppose it is Mono.Thanks,Robert | |
| New Lyra Delos wheres the bass? "Think I have resolved it. It was a phono stage loading stage issue. Started again trying ALL the options commencing with 30K. I was using 200 Ohm but this transpired to be too high. Now using 100 Ohm which is a more evenly balanced sound and hear... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? "open up the tray of my CD player which sits next to my turntable. I place the glass of wine on the open Cd tray "LOL | |
| New Lyra Delos wheres the bass? Cylopse, what's the status? | |
| Try a different turntable? Magister, as posted in the Kleos Sibilance thread, I too have ordered a Star refurb. I am having them put an SME 309 on it. A bit above your price limit unless you can talk Donna into it. The SME's work well on the Sota's and have a long history t... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Thanks Goatwuss. Orbe sounds well thoughtout. Tobes, looked at your system, bet that updated TNT with the Phantom is quite nice. I am with Tobes on the VTA issue. Some of Rega's design decisions do not make sense to me. Wish the VTA was easier to ... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Goatwuss, I definitely plan to post initial and later impressions.Scary lack of specifications on the 1000, not even in the manual. Does it have adjustable VTA or will the Mitchell mod work? I am skeptical. Sales in large numbers does not denote g... | |
| Do Blue Dots applied to LP labels improve sound? "I will try it straight tonight. any rec's?"Try a single malt such as Glenfiddich or Glenlivet. Even had a cheaper one that beat the blends. Wish I could remember the name. My brother ruined me with good scotch in the 80's. 'Bout given up alcohol ... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Hey Group,I forgot to mention honorable mention to Bill for his insistence here that the issue was the tonearm. We just need to get him to stop being so shy.So I called Donna again at Sota and ordered a refurb Star with the series V motor, composi... | |
| Kleos Sibilance Sibilance still there on multiple LP's including Featuring Norah Jones. It is improved. The sound is really good otherwise. A bit less slam but everything is more controlled and crisper. Maybe a little HiFi sounding occasionally but very little. J... | |
