| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Fair enough. You heard it and you liked it. Directly compared to what? In a system that you are familiar with? I am just trying to understand how you came to your conclusion. More information gives your comments more substance. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? I have not heard the Hegel P-30 myself. That said having a S/N ratio north of 125 in itself does not mean I will enjoy its sound. It also does not mean that it will not be lacking in dynamics or some other parameter. Have you listened to it yourse... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? So you don't own this stuff yet but are claiming it's the worlds best. There is no best. There is only what is best for you.I hope all your choices work well together and make you happy. IMO you can't just throw together a system with random piece... | |
| Need help trouble shoot: weird noise It could be your cell phone interfering with the signal. If you leave your cell phone in another room does the noise go away? | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Ketchup, I was not aware of that feature on the ET arms. Very interesting.Some say that the tracking error of linear arms is actually more than pivoted arms because of the higher horizontal effective mass. This causes the cantilever to deflect mor... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Fleib, I'm not confused. Yes Lofgren B has the least average distortion. But Lofgren B also has the most max distortion. Meaning that at the beginning and the end of the LP the distortion is higher than the other alignments but in the middle of th... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Theo, The Herbies Way Exellent II Mat is what I think Tom is referring to. I have one and have used it on a LP12. They are fairly light and work well on the Linn. They do make them in many different heights.On my current TT I prefer a harder mat t... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Fleib, I'm not sure where I wrote that SRA does not matter. I don't feel that HTA is necessarily more important than SRA. It's all important and all we can do is optimize all the dimensions the best we can. I also do not think that small adjustmen... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Fleib, I can't really argue with what you're saying but what I mean by perfect alignment is least distortion. For pivoting arms this means least max and/or average distortion for horizontal alignment. Have a look at the alignment calculator on vin... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Peter, The people that try to get the perfect SRA for every record must believe that it's more important than perfect alignment. I doubt there are many people that would go to the trouble of adjusting overhang for every record as well.I'm sure som... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Actusreus, The only way the offset would not move when adjusting VTA up or down is if the tonearm post was curved. Lets use your fork as an example. If you lift your fork without moving the front at all it will trace an arc in the air. Turn the fo... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Audiofeil, I'm with you there. I don't personally adjust VTA for every record either, but I think it is important to know how different adjustments effect things. Especially when setting up a cartridge.If you don't adjust VTA for different height ... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Peter, What happens when you use a taller record than the one you used to set your alignment? A taller record will push the stylus forward a bit. By adjusting VTA up the correct amount you compensate for that. So adjusting VTA for different height... | |
| Graham Phantom II 12" - dimensions and overhang Suteetat, good to hear. I was not sure if the effective length was exactly the same but as long as you have room in the headshell it doesn't matter.I'm not sure why Graham does not provide a proper alignment protractor with his 10" and 12" arms bu... | |
| VTA and HTA overhang Good topic Peter. I have noticed this effect as well.Actusreus, your fork analogy does not work. If you could lift the rear of the fork straight up without letting it move forward as you lift it would pull the front back. This is quite easy to tes... |
