| TriPlanar Tips Harrylime6, your comment about this thread hitting a brickwall may just mean that Triplanar owners are busy listening to their vinyl. That's certainly true in my case. I have been as happy as a clam ever since removing the damping trough. | |
| Old tapes reveal how BAD FM became By today's standards, I am fortunate to have 2 stations nearby that play very good sounding jazz and classical programming. Both are non-commercial university stations. However, the very best sound I have ever heard from FM was from my college day... | |
| From Thiel CS6 to Wilson Sophia 2 or 3 Stevecham, Life is not that simple. Based on your logic, every speaker designer should use 6db slope crossovers, and any design not using them is inherently inferior. That's just not correct. A speaker can sound very good (or bad) using either fir... | |
| Audio Technica AT-33PTG vs Denon 103R cartridge I agree with Doak's comment that the 103R lacks finesse. That in a nutshell is my main objection to it. I haven't heard the 33PTG, but I am quite familiar with the 33EV and it is a really good cartridge by any measure. It's also an amazing bargain. | |
| Garrard 301 and Graham Phantom or Vintage Arm Don't overlook the Schick. It combines the vintage arm advantages with those of a modern arm. | |
| Plans for Thorens TD 124 Plinth By "plans" do you mean the cutout diagram? I have an old cutout pattern that I could duplicate and mail to you if no one else can direct you to an online source. On the other hand, if you're just looking for overall dimensions, you can probably ge... | |
| VPI HW-19 MkII Vs. MkIII, how are they different? There is a lot of misinformation in the above posts. Just do some searching of archived posts here and on Audio Asylum to get a more accurate background. VPI hasn't helped things by changing their platters from time to time without changing model ... | |
| Thread source for Loricraft RCM's;also seeking f/b Can you please explain what difficulties you had with the Loricraft and what you did to correct them. I have a PRC-3 that seems to work fine, but I am open to trying something to improve its cleaning ability. Thanks. | |
| Multiple turntables For those of you with more than one tonearm connected to your phono stage, you should try disconnecting one set of cables (including the ground wire) and see if the sound is affected on your other tonearm. I did this and was surprised to find that... | |
| Capacitors in Cary PH302 phono amp Tobes' findings didn't surprise me at all. I bought several Audio 1 oil caps from Cary many years ago and never found a place where I liked them. They had all the worst traits of oil caps (softness on leading edges, loose bass lacking in impact, a... | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono My Miyajima BE Mono should be arriving this week and I look forward to hearing what all the fuss is about. I'll be using mine on a Schick 12" arm.Lula, I think I can answer your question. Some mono cartridges (such as the Miyajimas) are "true mono... | |
| Different Results between Record Cleaning Machines Thanks Doug. I'll give it a try. | |
| Different Results between Record Cleaning Machines Doug,What seals on the Loricraft do you apply a lubricant to? I'd like to try that on mine. | |
| Custom Builder For P/P Power Pentode Amplifier You asked for "the very best builders" for a push-pull amp. That would definitely include Fred Volz. I have a custom pair of his push-pull Vita monoblocks that can take 6L6s, EL-34s, 6550s, KT-66s, KT-77s, KT-88s and KT-120s. I recommend them high... | |
