| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I am now using laser tach to determine my platter speed and stability. IMO, it is the most accurate way to gauge the speed on the platter. Accurate to 1/1000 th of a rpm. Only $200.00. It should be placed on a tripod for the most accurate measurem... | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation Graham Supreme in whatever length you want. You can also have multiple arm wands with carts already aligned and ready to go. It is also the only arm with a built in bubble level so you can get VTA spot on every record you play on the fly in seconds. | |
| What M/C for Clearaudio Satisfy Tonearm? I use to have your exact turntable/arm. I used a Clearaudio Talisman V2 moving coil cart. A very good performer for $1300.00 or so. You can probably also get a deal on a Benz SLR Gullwing for a bit over $2K. Another solid performer. | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion If you are interested in rather new music that is digitally mastered, you are better off sticking with digital. If you are interested in music from the best era...1950's-1970's where the music is mastered analog, then a turntable makes sense....my... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Well said Grooves. I think you covered it ! Sounds to me the ML's don't stack up to the $50k billing....sigh | |
| Best Phono Cable for Ortofon MC Anna I would try Nordost Valhalla over those listed....simply because it's the best this side of Odin or Siltech Royal Signature. | |
| Levinson 23.5 - I think I need a new toy. They are dark sounding...in other words, not the most treble extension which can be good or bad depending on your system balance and room acoustics. I have a 27.5 as a backup from my former system...similar sound, just less power. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Pass XS-150's....keepers for life. | |
| Ebay LP Purchases Stick to NM or sealed OOP from reputable sellers. I have spent over $30k over the past two years on eBay since I got back into vinyl. Of all the transactions only a few were inaccurately described condition wise. When you buy below true NM conditi... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review The best thing I got out of the review was a keen interest in the Kuzma 4 point. | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review vinyl still sounds better than digital. It's as simple as that. What's the cost of admission for top rate vinyl playback ? Pretty steep....but not necessarily Caliburn, walker, NVS steep....and let's not forget arm, cart and phono stage costs. | |
| Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8 I use to run w/p 8's with pass XA 100.5's. The XA-60.5 will strain to drive the load w/p 8's require at louder listening levels. Your room is adequate for w/p 8's | |
| Tonearms for Clearaudio Master Solution type TNTs I use a Universal and a Graham Supreme on my Master Innovation. I like the Graham better. | |
| Do you leave your platter spinning while switching no, i use a TTWeights outer ring weight. The platter must be stopped. | |
| Just got my Audio Desk Systeme LP cleaner... Yes, the ability to do up to 5 clean cycles (5 beeps) before drying is another great feature I was not aware of prior to purchasing my Auto Desk. |
