| Linear Tracking or Not?, Any Experiences and Recs My friend has been using an Air Tangent for about ten years.There has been no problems,whatsoever.He does not have a table with a vacuum system,yet the sound is absolutely stunning.Clearly a cut above any pivot I've ever heard.I'm intimately famil... | |
| Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience? Anyone know the price structures on each model? | |
| Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience? Raul,you are such a good salesman,that you have me trying to download every piece of info on the Allaerts line,that I can find.I've seen the website,and a review or two,yet this mfgr seems to be really SPECIAL!! Thanks! | |
| How to properly set VTF?? Bob,NO,they are not accurate enough!Though I would consider some "Early Pressing " Oistrach LP's on EMI.Maybe his "encore" disc? -:) | |
| How to properly set VTF?? Bob,if you have any Mercury SR series "promo" pressings,or Decca wide bands lying around,I'd consider doing your taxes as a barter!How about it? -:) | |
| Linear Tracking or Not?, Any Experiences and Recs Yes they require attention,yet when all is set properly there is NO comparison to any type of pivot design.More relaxed and open,with better harmonic structure.Basically,lower distortion!I'm referring to the better(unfortunately,pricey)designs,lik... | |
| How to properly set VTF?? I'm a bit surprised with you,Raul.I certainly agree with this current point,of yours(and understand Bob's as well).Yet it has always been you,who have been very techno oriented about getting the best results!Now you seem to have a "glossed over" a... | |
| Jan Allaerts Cartridge Experience? Well,Raul--I have to say that with this series of posts,from you,it seems that you are "aging" like a fine expensive wine!!Keep up the good work. Wish I had a good listen to one of these babies! | |
| How to properly set VTF?? One final thought.Any feedback is always welcome!Though it is very good to ultimately set by ear,and I do this alot during long listening sessions,isn't it a good idea to finalize our efforts by checking the downforce,after all is tuned?This way (... | |
| How to properly set VTF?? Sorry Bob,tried that,and don't agree(respectfully).It's clearly easy to hear the 1/100 gm differences in the set-ups that I'm privy to.The other pre changes you mention,don't impact the fact that the arm/cartridge "ZONE" is extremely important,bas... | |
| Best 845 amp? Any thoughts on the Cary 805/211 Anniversary? | |
| How to properly set VTF?? Though good points by Dan and Bob,the fact is that I want to enjoy my vinyl with the feeling of being as close to the "zone" as possible.No need to get as technical as Bob(though technically right).In our setting up(to max)my friend's arm/cartridg... | |
| How to properly set VTF?? Not to try to be dismissive of the "disengagement" of A/S,as mentioned,it just makes no sense to me,to measure meaningful downforce,this way.The arm is tracking at 1.87 as the disc plays.This,with A/S engaged.If we were to disengage the A/S and ad... | |
| How to properly set VTF?? "Knowing exactly what weight sounds best can be useful"!!This is really of paramount importance,IMO!!I have always gotten in "the range",with a decent digital guage,and tuned by ear.However it has become clear,at least to me,that once one sets azi... | |
| Which cartridge is the Imaging/soundstaging champ Doug,thanks SO much for the kind words.In all honesty the only thing I may(?)have added(I find it hard to believe others were not aware of some of this),on the helpful side,was some hard learned 2.2 aspects of tweaking it to max performance. I'm n... |
