| Linear tracking tonearms..... Hiho, I forgot about the Cantus. Not bad looking. That glass tube looks like it has the potential to resonate allot. Especially since it is cantilevered out of the base, with no support on the other end. Some of the air bearing arms look like they... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... Check out the Schroder LT. It's a pivoted linear tracker. | |
| Strange subsonic rumble problem? It could be tubes. I would contact Glenn at Aesthetix, and explain the issue. I'm sure he can help you figure it out. | |
| Turntable suggestion -- budget.. or not? You could pick up a used Linn LP12 turntable for a decent price. It will sound more like what you are looking for. | |
| Strange subsonic rumble problem? Hmm. I guess it's just a bad connection. I would not think that would cause woofer pumping. Could be something is causing the preamp to go into oscillation? Maybe someone with more technical background could elaborate? | |
| Strange subsonic rumble problem? Maybe that arm/cart combo does not like that record? Does it do it on other records? If so, you may have a problem with the arm. | |
| Strange subsonic rumble problem? That's strange. I would put the Koetsu back on that arm. If it there is no problem after that, then at least you know it's not the arm. Could be that the Ikeda Kai has a problem. Try it out on another table. | |
| Poor sounding analog? After looking at the manual for your preamp, it looks like there is a separate input for MM and MC cartridges. Make sure you have your tonearm wires plugged into the MM input. There is some adjustment for capacitance on the MM input. Try messing w... | |
| Poor sounding analog? The Elys is a pretty disappointing cartridge. The Rega Exact is much better sounding. You may want to make sure the phono stage is on the MM setting, and if there is adjustable loading that it is set to 47k. | |
| The Death of Tubes? Audio tubes are not considered light bulbs as far as I know. If they were part of the ban then anything under 40 watts would still be ok.I have seen nothing online that mentions audio tubes in the ban. The reason for the ban is to force people to ... | |
| no sound with new DAC.....possible reasons why? Check the buffer settings in your playback software. Make the buffer setting higher and see if that helps. If not, I would contact Shiit and ask them what you are doing wrong. | |
| Shipping from Canada If your purchase is over $2,500, you will have to pay extra customs fees. I had to pay an extra $30 something on a $3k purchase from Canada. | |
| Something doesn't seem right about this... Here is a link to a good primer on cable design, and what is going on electrically. It's on a cable manufacture's website, but it is not pseudo science. http://www.absolutefidelity.com/thedesign.html | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. After more investigating on the hifistatement.net website, it looks like they are using a Brinkmann LaGrange TT for their tests. | |
| Thales Simplicity tonearm review in Stereophile. Thanks Hiho, for posting those links. I preferred sample 43 to sample 44 myself. Slightly more transparent. |
