| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Vinylmad, As I see it the biggest weakness of the Classic is the motor and belt. The motor is nothing special and the belt is very elastic. The more elastic the belt the more it will cover up cogging from the motor. This comes at a cost though. Th... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Spiritofmusic, I'm happy you're happy with your TT. That's all that really matters. That said just because something is pricier does not mean it's better. This does not automatically make the cheaper table among the best though. It just means that... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? No. A new $3K TT can be pretty good and maybe all some people need but I've never heard one I would consider among the best. It's just not possible to build and market a TT for that price and get top performance. With the right knowledge and skill... | |
| Kuzma 4 point and SME 20 Hi Peter. If you look at his past threads you will see he has a history of these kinds of posts. I believe he's a dealer for the new Merrill Williams TT and the Kronos TT. Not sure what else he sells. To me it's in poor taste for a dealer to denig... | |
| Kuzma 4 point and SME 20 I'm sure it will be one that Audiooracle sells. He's a dealer. | |
| dc10audio Berlin Destryed the Competition at RMAF This guy again! Your speakers must really suck if you have to stoop to this level of self promotion! | |
| Genesis - a new loudspeaker Bassraptor, They are every bit as relevant as the brands you named. It will come down to personal taste and room requirements. | |
| Genesis - a new loudspeaker Mountain-high, Have you actually heard these speakers? They have nothing in common with those Polk speakers except maybe the shape. I have heard the 2.2jr's and they are very good. Very transparent and musical with the right upstream equipment. | |
| Analog setup - do it your self or hire a pro? Learning how to do it yourself will pay off in the end unless your all thumbs and/or have no patience. Cartridges always need additional adjustments after initial setup and break in. As Elizabeth said it's not hard to learn but it will take some t... | |
| Why are my speakers resonating???? Check to see if the screws holding the speakers in are tight. If that's not it try swapping speakers from side to side to see if the problem switches sides. | |
| Does my acoustic ideology make me an outcast? Only clueless people think Bose is something to aspire to. Usually when I tell someone I don't know I have a nice system they ask if it's a Bose. After hearing that I know there is not much point in discussing audio with this person. Some people a... | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation Raul, There is more than one way to skin a cat. Each phono stage topology has it's pluses and minuses. SS phono stages usually employ negative feedback to achieve their low noise floor. IMO this is the worst place to employ NFB. Each to their own.... | |
| Sound Smith Retip of DV 20X2 Cartridge Though I have not heard a DV20X2H with a Soundsmith Ruby cantilever I would be surprised if it was not an improvement. I think it's worth a shot. I've heard some Denon 103's with a Soundsmith ruby OCL rebuild that sounded pretty sweet. | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation I have not heard the Air Tight. I have heard the Atlas a couple of times and like it. If you still have the Allnic Puritas you could try it. Maybe it will give you some insight on what direction you want to go. | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation If the arm board can accommodate your 10.5" Reed why not try it first with both carts and see if you like it? Are you going to mount the arm yourself? If so and you don't have the Feickert spindle to pivot point tool I would pick one up. It will m... |
