| DRT XV1s Vs Orpheus Vs Shelter Harmony Vs 47 Labs "If VPI discount the results,none of them will optimize the cartridges mentioned"....mispoken comments,or just plain wrong! Though I have not been a huge VPI arm fan,since a friend replaced the fabulous Air Tangent with one,I have since been expos... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Hevac,some test records(I own the Telarc Omni-disc)may not allow for the distortion to "totally" go away.I know my Phantom,using my Omni-disc still exhibits a certain degree of distortion in one channel.I believe we want to shoot for least amount ... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Phaser,forgive my enthusiasm for a voluminous manual,but I own a printing/graphic center,and "this" manual cost a few bucks to design. Best. | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Halcro,have you had sucess in getting the antiskate bar "parallel" at LP end groove?This is according to manual,and should be in new arm as well.The antiskate design on this arm seems extraordinary,and I am a believer in correct antiskate. To me,t... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? This post "will" eventually go somewhere.....towards the Copperhead arm eventually,but I need to bloviate first(I'm good at that-:) So.... There is a middle aged group of guys at my gym,that I am somewhat friendly with.I and my wife call them the... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Halcro,I have been fortunate to have seen every one of those players mentioned,play in person.Unbelieveable athletes,AND Lew Hoad,if not for the back injury,would most probably be holding the coveted records many others now have.He was THAT good!!... | |
| Upgrade from Old Basis Ovation A magnificent table!!Keep it,and save for new music!! good luck. | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Actually,to add to Phaser's thought...here is what I do,on the rare occassion when I am bummed out by an equipment failure(God forbid)...In order to come out of the return,and sometimes lengthly wait for repair,I always inquire about further parts... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Halcro,with respect.....you are taking things a little too seriously.Is it OK to try NOS tubes in a mfgr product having standard ones?Or adding a platter mat(as J.Valin did)to your table?Or adding a good A/C cord to product?Or in my case finding t... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? Halcro,I, myself, never thought you were denegrating the employment of vacuum in any turntable...You have demonstrated your entitlement to your own opinions,and I have no problems with any of your thoughts.I have my own,as do many others. Firstly ... | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? One other point regards to some claiming vacuum has a negative affect on sound...."That is total rationalization"!....I have heard two different Rockport models,the Basis Debut Gold Standard Vacuum(fantastic table)another early design(big bucks,bu... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. I have found(even on the Phantom)that whenever I adjust fluid level,the VTA AND VTF should be atended to as well.It's a sort of Rubics Cube combo,but not really hard to do.You MUST become very hands on,and play around alot! Best. | |
| Raven v Walker. Colored v Accurate? My felings as of late is to give almost anyone the benefit of the doubt,if he/she is passionate and seems to know a bit about "things" audio/music.Even if I am really sceptical about something,I no longer think I can gain anything by being a contr... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Those ticks are just registration marks."Very helpful",but you will do better to use your ears,with some reference LP's.Clearly audible. Best. | |
| Audioquest 404 My friend had one a while ago.It got pretty good reviews at the time.We found it a bit on the "thin" side,but it DEFINITELY is worth a retip if it can be had cheaply! Good luck. |
