| What's recommended arm for ZYX Airy 1000 3S SB? Ive used the Graham with this cartridge for a while and have never experienced the ear bleeding that Doug has. That said, I found that adding a 2.3 gram head shell weight further improved the performance of this cartridge in the Graham. Adding th... | |
| Graham 1.5 tone set-up... Clearaudio also makes a headshell weight that they shipped with their very light wooden body cartridges. Maybe try Musical Surrounding's, Clearaudio's present distributor or Discovery Cable, Clearaudio's past distributor. | |
| Graham 1.5 tone set-up... Speedy is correct in that the first indent closest to the point of rotation in 1 gram with each increment being 0.5 grams. A question. Do you have the silver base with your ZYX? From the sounds of your problem, I would guess no. Without it, you ma... | |
| anyone gone from the Graham 2.2 to vecteur arm ? Lgraef,During the time that I lived with the Ruby/Graham combo, I experienced two periods of mistracking with the Ruby both of which were eliminated. The first was caused by too much damping fluid in the well. Once I got the damping tuned (less th... | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? I'm a statified Herron owner who gets to hear the seemly top two contenders (the I/O Sig & Lamm) on a regular basis. I never come home after hearing either the Lamm or I/O with preamp envy. I like the no fuss aspect of the Herron's. The Herron... | |
| Mapleshade Samson racks? Splaskin,What's between your Debut & the top of the rack?? Love your Asylum moniker BTW.Thanks,Scott | |
| Aesthetix Calypso and Herron VTSP 2 I own the Herron VTSP-1/VTPH combination and I have heard the IO/Callisto combo in a friends system. While the Aesthetix units are fine performers, I never came home after hearing them with preamp envy. The Herrons's are easy to live with: They do... | |
| Tube amp for Quad 989??? There is a special synergy between the Quads & ARC amps - the older ones not the VT100. The Quad's are not easy to drive correctly since their impedance curve starts off above 30 ohms down low and dips down to ~2 ohms at the top end. Use the 1... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Mine never held a charge that long. That was my major complaint. It was always dead when you wanted to spot check VTF and it took 8 hours to recharge. Also, being significantly more expensive ($275 vs $70) than the other options out there doesn't ... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Speedy,I had/have a Cartridge man that I hate - it was and is a total POC. The batteries are no good in those things - they refuse to hold a charge for any length of time. And if low usability isn't bad enough, they're also expensive. I solved my ... | |
| Buy an Audio Research SP10 MkII or an SP11 MkII ? Growlar,I've owned both the SP10 & SP11 with a D115. Overall, my preferance is the SP10 even though I ended up getting rid of it. As others have said, the line section of the SP10 is not up to par with the phono section. This is not really the... | |
| Basis and table mats? I noticed on the Basis site that one of the pictures shows a yellow belt - see link. Is that it? I think my Debut might look a bit like a bumble bee with that belt!http://www.basisaudio.com/motor_drive_detail_HIGH.jpg | |
| Basis and table mats? Shventus,What new belt? What's the difference between the old anbd new? ThanksScott | |
| Graham tonearm tweaking Sirspeedy,I think the blame for ignorance about the critical nature of the damping fluid is clearly on Bob Graham himself. He designed the thing and should know; He wrote the instruction sheet that has been used by everyone setting up the arm incl... | |
| Coincident Technology Speakers kjl,I am a long time owner of Quads that like you, find them a bit frustrating at times. Last year when I was particularily PO'ed at them, I bought a pair of Partial eclipses to see if I could live with them. The short answer was no. I wasn't will... |
