| Graham Phantom II 12" - dimensions and overhang Suteetat, If your Reed 3Q is the 12" version then the Mint LP you have for that should work for the Graham 12" as well because they are the same P2S distance 295.6 mm.Sean | |
| Graham Phantom II 12" - dimensions and overhang If you use an arc protractor like the Mint LP you will get the correct offset angle. As long as the arc protractor is designed for correct P2S for the arm you're using and you follow the alignment for zenith you will have the ideal offset angle. J... | |
| Makeshift tonearm for under $800 Pani, You might want to use a 9" arm this time. They are known to be more lively than 12" arms. People seem to like the FR-64 but they usually go for around 1k. | |
| Makeshift tonearm for under $800 The only arm I am familiar with on your list is the Rega. I would not call it dark but I think the cartridge and phono stage will have more effect on this than an arm will. Were you setting SRA correctly with the SME? What cartridge and phono stag... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Do you actually own this combo of gear already? The way your post reads I'm not sure.All the gear you listed is very good I'm sure. Is it a good combo? How did you arrive at that mix of gear? From your post it sounds like you arrived at your concl... | |
| ok to break in phono preamp w/ non lp source? Both those inverse RIAA filters attenuate the signal so I see no problem with using them.I have not used one myself but they look interesting. | |
| Traveler or Scout? Sbrownnw, I have not heard your TT in my own system before so I can not say how it compares with the VPI TT's. I just think that it makes more sense to make larger steps up when upgrading. It will save you money in the long run.On the other hand, ... | |
| Traveler or Scout? Sbrownnw, Compared to your Project TT, I'm guessing this would mostly be a sideways move.I've had a Scout and a Classic 1. The Classic 1 was much better than the Scout. I have not heard the Traveler yet but would bet on it being better than a base... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? I have one on order as well. I was told mine is in the second batch of orders so I was hoping someone had received theirs allready. There is a review of the 3P in a German magazine. I was able to translate it with Google translate. Most of the rev... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Wondering if anyone has received their 3P yet? | |
| Ortofon A90 broken stylus I recently asked Soundsmith about my cart. He was unable to repair it due to one of the channels being dead. He said he tried several times to repair it but had no luck so he sent it back. To bad I was really curious what it would sound like with ... | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? Vienna Acoustics Klimt. I heard the bigger brother Die Muzik with a Rowland amp and was very impressed. There seemed to be good synergy. I think the Klimt would be worth hearing if you want something smaller. | |
| Ortofon A90 broken stylus Hba, I am still waiting. No word yet. Soundsmith did send me an email after he inspected it. He said that one channel was dead. So I'm not even sure he will be able to fix it. I have read that if he has a difficult cart to repair it may take longe... | |
| Car Audio Speakers The Tube Driver Blue is not technically a true tube amp. It has a tube buffer in the input stage. It uses small signal tubes for the buffer. The actual amplification is solid state. That said it is a nice sounding amp but is not overly warm. I don... | |
| The Best Way to Clean Records Onemug,I'm sure your not serious but if you are how often do you clean your stylus? Once every track? I imagine the silicone in armorall would gunk up the stylus real fast. |
