An audiophile dilemma
Sorry, meant to type 'quality sound reproduction'. 
An audiophile dilemma
You don't have to spend lots of money to enjoy music. You are obviously curious about quality sound production or you would not be here. I'm just saying the only way to satisfy that curiosity is to experience it for yourself. Then you can make you... 
An audiophile dilemma
Rok2id, Why don't you just travel and hear some more systems. This will tell you what you want to know. No one can explain it to you. You must listen for yourself. Go to RMAF or some other audio show. If you live near an audiophile society go chec... 
Magico S5 review
Sounds like you have forged a good relationship with your dealer. There are some very good dealers out there you just have to find one. It is rare to find one with allot of knowledge that is not all about squeezing every last dollar out of you.Doe...

Audiooracle is just mad he did not make a sale. It's funny he would be worried about this being an ad when just about every post of his is an ad for the gear he sells. 
Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review
Halcro, No one is infallible. Even Fremer. Do you accept as gospel everything he prints? I enjoy his writing and do appreciate his contribution to analog and audio. His reviews are better than most and I like the fact that he compares gear with hi... 
Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review
The Kuzma 4 point is interesting. I have not heard one yet. There seems to be contradictory statements about it's bass performance. The two reviews I've seen both say the bass is it's strong suit. But I seem to remember a couple of posters on this... 
Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review
Tapping on a section of a turntable that is above the isolation built into the TT and/or platform does not tell you how it isolates from floor born vibrations.Of course precise speed and stability of speed are a good thing. Why would you want to a... 
Nude Turntable Project
Lew, I agree that in theory if tonearm and platter are subject to the exact same vibrations then the stylus should not pick them up. In practice I don't see how it is possible. Vibration has to take a different path and go through different materi... 
Feedback blew my phono stage?
One possible explanation for why it is occurring mostly with MC's and not MM's is most MM's are high compliance and most MC's are low compliance. 
Feedback blew my phono stage?
There is no music playing and you get feedback? Do you live next to a busy street or some other source of vibration? You could just move the TT temporarily to a different location and see if the problem goes away. Is it low frequency feedback? You... 
Feedback blew my phono stage?
I agree with Onhwy61. TT's in corners is a no-no. In that room I would buy an isolation rack or two and locate them between the speakers. In the same plane as the speakers. Then put both TT's and your front end gear on them. If you get them short ... 
Silly turntable question
Seems silly to me to have something and not even try it before you get something else. It will at least give you more perspective on the differences between the two. I suppose if your SME V in still in the box and has never been used it may be wor... 
Unusual TAS bomb
I agree it is just hear say. Yes Roc2id could have been joking. Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone is joking on the internet unless they use emoticons. I did not really take the comment seriously. I should have stressed the "if" he had been fi... 
Table/Cart Set Up - By Ear or Test Record?
Somebody in the other thread said that the ET-2 has a curved VTA adjustment. I found that interesting. This works well when you are adjusting for SRA on the same height record. If you are adjusting VTA for different height records then you need a ...
