| SME lV arm upgrades? Thanks Nsgarch. I looked, and I don't see anything on the main pivot post between the part that holds the anti skate adjustment and the base. So, I guess I can order the fluid damper kit. Thanks.Jfrech. I looked, I have the stock cable going from ... | |
| SME lV arm upgrades? Thanks for the advice Nsgarch. My next question might seem to indicate that I don't have it, but could you tell me how I might know if I've got the optional damping trough? It's been awhile since I set the arm up, after it was on the turntable tha... | |
| "On time" meter for tube life, cartridge life, etc Thanks Cincy Bob. I was actually thinking of upgrading my turntable power supply to the "Turbo" model. I have to look into the price comparison. My Oracle has the speed controls separate form the power supply, so I don't know if the VPI would work... | |
| Great cartridge mate for SME lV arm This is just a follow up to thank everyone for there input on a cartridge to mate with my arm/system. The winner was the Shelter 90x for me. It's been in place a week or so now, and it's just what I was looking for. Thank you for all your input.David | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I like this guy Hardesty too. I also agree with what he says about freedom in the marketplace. Anyone should be able to make something and sell it for whatever they want. But, would you really buy these speakers based upon a review? After being ou... | |
| The Olive Symphony: The mega iPod for your stereo I called Olive. The "Musica," is the next model up from the one reviewed in the Stereophile newsletter. It has a 160 GB hard drive, but doesn't have the Classical Software for auto cataloging your recordings. I also asked about adding hard drives ... | |
| Best moderately priced tube amp stands? Heavystarch, I didn't see any pricing listed on the website.I actually have my 2" clear acrylic stand in place, and they look great, and I'd welcome more ideas.David | |
| Black Diamond Racing Coneon Gallo Reference3 Barry,Thanks for your responce. I wish I'd known about your stands before the review in TAS. From the pictures I've seen, your stands make the speakers look much more substantial. In truth, they do make the speakers more substantial in terms of so... | |
| Best moderately priced tube amp stands? Nice looking stuff. I did just purchase two 16 x 12 pieces from Tap. 2" thick clear. The problem was the price to polish the edges. $10. each was quoted to me on the phone. The price was 4 times that when I got there. Still, they should look good ... | |
| Best moderately priced tube amp stands? Thanks Clio.I searched for Ultrasonic stands and Tate and found neither. I guess it's off to Tap Plastics. Two inch clear is $110 a piece for an 12 x 16" size.Thanks,David | |
| Best moderately priced tube amp stands? Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I think what I'll end up doing, as I'm pretty particular about the size, is having some 2" clear acrylic cut and place some black daimond racing cones under them.The VTI product from RacksandStands.com looke... | |
| Great cartridge mate for SME lV arm Thanks for your personal experience with the SV-1 Bob. I guess I'd assumed to get the full value from the cartridge, one needed to run it at the highest possible VTF. Not the case as your letter last post points out. It still is "incredible" at 2.... | |
| Great cartridge mate for SME lV arm Hi Cincy Bob,According to the manual, the Gain is 54 dB at 1 kHz.Given that this is a PH3, does anyone have recommendations for the Input Impedance loading on the Shelter? I've got the little kit of resisters that I can solder in place to change t... | |
| Great cartridge mate for SME lV arm After some thought on this, I'm now leaning towards the Shelter 90X, simply as it has a higher output. I think it may be a couple bucks cheaper too, but as of now I'm using a modified AR PH3 phono stage, so I think the 0.35v output of the SV-1 (ac... | |
| Great cartridge mate for SME lV arm Thanks everyone. Yes, I was asking about the VTF. I too had read somewhere that 2.6 grams, or more, resulted in superior sound from the cartridge. I did wonder how this increased mass might effect wear on the vinyl as well as possibly resulting in... |
