| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Keith,two of my experienced friends approach the hobby differently.I was just at both of their homes this week........ Friend #1 spends,makes mistakes,than sells what he does not like.He has a great set-up,now,but has had errors along the way.He i... | |
| Reel 2 Reel I used to own Teac,and Tandberg decks.Really enjoyed them.Lately I was exposed to rebuilt Stelavox open reel machines,rebuilt by Charles King.I was amazed as to how fabulous they sounded.Truly sota!! | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Keith,in all honesty I'd seek out a good dealer,who might be so inclined to give you a trial product.That is the ONLY way,other than conjecture,to evaluate something that might suit your tastes! I am lucky to have a close friend who has an almost ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 7 & Model 5 Upgrade I had Jeff upgrade my two chassis 8t amps,last year.If I were to describe the improvements,and the wonderful "way" about dealing with JRDG my thread would be so long,nobody would read it. I too love the sound of the "better" tube designs,but there... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable The main reason why I enjoy Audiogon forum life(now that I realize there are "real" people on the other end of my computer screen)is it allows us to all give our own thoughts on every subject(obviously)....I am not about to be too stubborn to cons... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable "Getting pace or prat or liveness by moving the table beneath the cartridge is adding something to the music that's not in the grooves".....If this is actually true,then the particular table mfgr who designs "that" particular suspension deserves v... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable "I'm sure if you take away any part that was designed in there will be a change"....Could not agree more! One of my good friends,who is a very experienced hobbyist,alweays claims(humorously)that even if one was to "put a banana" on the top of a sp... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable To me,it is not an issue of what seems correct on paper. If one is so critical as to be concerned about the minutiae of cartridge/arm issues,then being careful about what table topology you buy,is a good thing. As to the why it "may" be a big deal... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Well,since I got my new Phantom yesterday(it is still in the sealed box)if there actually is a new bearing cap,I'm a happy fellow....Truthfully I am so happy to obtain the arm that I would have been happy with the original cap my friend has,on his... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable The "only" reason I stated that one should read the Basis White papers,is because the arguements made(there)seem logical,and make the most sense to me.Of course each person makes their own buying decision.The more educational ammunition,the better. | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Frank/Jeb....I have a dear friend who's Phantom I helped to set up,so I am pretty familiar with it already.I,m going over there tomorrow,btw,to pick up my new Phantom. The fluid does not take that long to settle.A couple of sides of an LP maybe.Un... | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Actually,you DO want to be concerned about the "type" of table you chose. I would strongly suggest you go on the "Basis" website,and read the "white Papers".These are very well written pieces,based on good science,and logic!Also,a good means of ed... | |
| Graham Phantom damping fluid level. Frank,it is going to be cartridge dependent,AND requiring careful listening at different fluid settings.No getting around it! Yes... start with minimum amount(at bottom of squared off area)is the way to go,but you must add VERY small amounts at a ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,two additional points....Many real music lover/LP collectors that I have met,at my local LP collectors store,are NOT audiophiles!They are music lovers,first!These are the people who have the widest variety of MM cartridges,because they spend ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul...firstly let me say thanks for your enthusiasm.Also,your thread length makes me feel less self conscious about how long many of my posts go,but when you're on a roll,what the heck.-:) Also,as you know,I am happy to see you posting....alot-:)... |
