SOTA table owners- getting upgraded
BTW,Larry--I have my table plugged into a PS Audio Ultimate outlet,on a dedicated line.The PC's STILL help.My pal,since he has no dedicated line,uses a P-300,to great effect,and here the better PC's also help.A good line,as you know,is always impo...

Cello,I meant the PC from pump to table.Though a good PC is better for the wall to pump,as well,but the SHOCK to me,and my pal,was when we tried the pump to table connection.It was a significant improvement.Why?I really don't know,other than the s...

Clio-9,glad you are so happy.You'll be even happier in the near future.As for the SOTAS of today's manufacturing,the prices,for the materials employed,as well as the newer,much higher level of fit and finish,not to mention rediculously good perfor... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul,as per your last thread,I finally DO get your point,which is valid.Best wishes! Speedy! 
Kharma Ceramique in a small room ?
My good friend has the 1.0's in a 12 x19 ft room.Many of us thought he was crazy to try it.Guess what?We were wrong!!With careful attention to acoustics,and component matching,he gets an INCREDIBLE dynamic/full range sound.Obviously a larger space... 
Looking for a great arm that is low maintenence
RWD,great album.Sid gave it to me.I'm not attending the A.S. party,though that may change.Best of luck. 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul,please don't preach to me.My thoughts certainly DO apply to this thread.I seldom see threads that stick,EXACTLY, to the exact subject.I,personally,like to see other "RELATED" viewpoints on subject material,that interests me.That is how one ca...

YES!!!!!!! So long as you have the "VINYL FORMULA" platter top!The only way to have the interface is to have the LP contact the actual platter top. 
Audio Research Classic 150
I have,and have owned many ARC products.The Classic 150's I owned some time ago.I drove my Avalons with them,and thought the sound was fine!The MAJOR problem I had was that they kept,literally,blowing up.The tubes would go,and take a resistor with... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Darkmoebius,love your set-up,BTW.You seem to be following a very similar path as I did,when I tried integrating my sub "addition" to my main speakers.My friends ALL were against my adding a sub,in fear of poor integration.However with the technolo... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Darkmoebius,you will find that as you lower the Sub output(using gain or placement,though you may try lowering cutoff point)there will be "Additional Information" that will appear,as well as a deeper soundstage.There will,also,be an even greater s... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
I don't think any of us have to act like any kind of salesperson,here.If anyone wants to add "good" low frequencies,to an already good speaker,then the technology is readily available.The problem,to me,on this thread,is that some of the recommenda...

The only reason SOTA wants the mat in use is because if the platter is not kept clean,you can get noise on the vinyl,from the vacuum pressure.This is not a problem,if you are good in keeping the platter clean. As for the sound,I have had multiple ...

NONE!!Take it off,and keep the platter clean,with a make-up brush.The intermat will only dull down the sound. 
Ready to try vinyl
Actually in a "sort of related" area,my friend Sid Marks makes a very strong case for the "first pressing" syndrome,which is, in and of itself, a very valid area of getting much better performance without doing a thing to the set-up!! There are nu...
