| What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage? I can vouch for a number of StephenR's discoveries. He mentioned the sonic importance of heater supplies, and how they affect the sound quality just as much as the B+ supply. It may sound crazy, but he's right. In my linestage, I have tried differ... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar Following up on Thom's comment, I recently changed from the DP-6 to the Triplanar and I certainly don't have buyer's remorse. As I noted earlier in this thread, the Triplanar is a better sounding arm, but that doesn't change the fact that the Moer... | |
| tonearm match ZYX Universe Moerch and Triplanar I have never used a ZYX, so I can't respond directly to your question. I did recently replace my DP-6 with 12" Red wand with a Triplanar VII.2 so I do have some idea of the differences between the two arms. The Triplanar has greater resolution and... | |
| Need Cart Rec for Moerch DP-6 The choice depends on which arm wand you're using. I had very good results with a Benz Glider M2 in a 12" Red wand on my DP-6. Also a Benz L2 but that is a bit over your price range if you buy new.Dave | |
| Moerch DP6 or UP 4 Do a search at Vinyl Asylum for a post by Fretless regarding both Moerch arms. He has a UP-4 and has listened to the DP-6 as well. I have used a DP-6 with 12" red wand for nearly 3 years, and have been very pleased with it. It sounds very good and... | |
| Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing Salvatore's comments are mainly directed to classical reissues. He says in the text that: "The original pressings of Rock, Pop and Jazz LPs are almost always preferable to the vast majority of their respective reissues."I can certainly vouch for ... | |
| What Turntable to Buy Clarock, a couple of additional comments. Before my Galibier, I used a VPI 19 Mk.III with SDS and VPI JMW-10. Cartridge was a Glider M2. I went to the Galibier Gavia, first with what is now called the Serac platter (PVC) and I then upgraded to the... | |

| 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... |
