| What Turntable to Buy Doug, While I will certainly second the recommendation of the Galibier Gavia (being a satisfied owner myself), your pricing is a bit off the mark. The basic Gavia with a PVC platter is $4500. The standard Gavia with a Gavia platter is $7000, and t... | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms I am not using the new Stelvio armboard. I am using the old style armboard which is 3/4" aluminum with lots of holes drilled in it. The Moerch arm extends through the bottom of the armboard similar to a Rega and lots of other arms, so it won't fit... | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms That's right. It's not an electrical interaction issue. My Artemis phono stage has a single input, so only one arm was connected to the outside world at a time. The other arm was just sitting there. Now I don't know how much can be generalized fro... | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms I have tried Red Oak and Hard Maple. The maple didn't affect the sound as much as the oak, but neither was acceptable.Dave | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms Since no one has responded to Groovey's question re sonic interaction between 2 arms, I'll throw in my 2 cents. I have a Galibier Gavia which has mounting holes for 2 arms. I have a Moerch DP-6 mounted on a Galibier aluminum armboard that is secur... | |
| Best Cartridge for Rega RB 300 and RB1000 ? Paul, Which mass wand do you use on the Moerch arm with the 103R?Dave | |
| Turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? Dan, I don't use the buttons under my Gavia because I don't use the spikes. I have the turntable base sitting directly on whatever plinth I am using at the time. Same thing for the motor pod.At various times I've tried the spikes Thom supplied, an... | |
| Turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? Ken, The reactions to maple butcherblock are not all favorable. If you do a search of the archives on Agon or AudioAsylum, you will find a number of folks (including me) have found thick maple---3" in my case---to be too slow, thick and dead sound... | |
| Turntable stand, steel, aluminum,shelves of ? I use a Sound Anchors turntable stand for my Galibier Gavia table. The stand is made of welded steel filled with sand and PVC damping tubes. It is firmly spiked into the flooring with steel spikes. The table does not have any suspension and it res... | |
| EMOTIVE SIRA I'm using a Virtual Dynamics David on my Emotive Erato, and find the combination to be very synergistic. The David reinforces the qualities of the Erato, especially the microdynamics. I also have a Virtual Dynamics Power One that I use on my phono... | |
| High mass turntable owners -- What Stand? Richard (Palasr), I haven't decided yet what material I like the most for a plinth in my setup. So far I have tried the following, each in a 18 x 24 footprint: 1. 3" granite surface plate----very nice bass and overall detail, but it develops a "sh... | |
| High mass turntable owners -- What Stand? I have my Galibier on a custom Sound Anchors stand, and I am very pleased. The sound quality is excellent and there is no rocking or wobbling. I would caution you about using thick maple as a mounting platform. I have found the maple to have too m... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? I can corroborate Thom's statements regarding lack of bearing wear. I took apart the bearing in my Galibier after about a year of frequent use, and was somewhat surprised to see no indication of wear at all, other than a little dimple in the Delri... | |
| Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables? I own a Galibier Gavia (but with the older Teflon/aluminum platter), and I have been very pleased with its sound quality and reliability. I have heard the Platine Verdier a number of times but not in my own system or in a comparison with the Galib... | |
| Moerch DP-6 VTA Adjustment There's a set screw on the barrel of the arm. You loosen the screw, move the arm up or down, and retighten. |
