| 12" 45 RPM records: What's the story? I have to side with Audiofeil here.Though the re-issues are wonderful,for the money(since many originals command big dollars),the earliest first pressings,will have the more natural timbral and harmonic presentations. Still,the collector will do w... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Sorry!Forgot to mention that I don't play around with the different waveform settings,on my P-500.Set for 60 hz/117 volts continuos.The "System Clean" demag feature seems cute,but I simply use it,and have not bothered to A/B it.A SIN,but it is SO ... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps I almost always agree with Nsgarsh,but I'm not sure about this latest thought.For me,regenerated power has a distinctive advantage. I have a dedicated room,with three dedicated lines.I recently had a new,quality circuit breaker box installed,in ba... | |
| Different approaches to Tone Arm design Groovey,my best advise is to try to read up on as many of these designs as you can.Then try(if possible)to hear some,in systems.Not easy,these days.Look for as little bearing resonance as posible,since this will color sound.The business of ball ra... | |
| Different approaches to Tone Arm design Sorry Groovey.I thought you were not serious.My mistake. Best. | |
| Different approaches to Tone Arm design Sorry,not falling for it?Don't feel dissed,you're doing a good job!BTW,go hear Reina in the Big Apple!He tells me he's making it big. Best! | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Neil,hope you know I was NOT referring to any of your well intended E-mails.I had received an E-mail from a poster who did not like my candid, albeit "baiting",attitudes,regarding the "superb"(I knew it/he actually didn't)Orpheus.My intent got the... | |
| Basis Debut Gold Standard Mk V or Sota cosmiii The Basis is a wonderful table!Very refined,and a "beauty" to behold.Sounds good too.The Cosmos(in the high gloss black,finish)is as gorgeous,and every bit as refined,in sound. Sadly,the perception of quality(in this sometimes silly hobby)is based... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Knowing how the darn "O" sounds,hearing it on many ocassions,now,what's you're problem('s)?Fremer got the gist of it(sound),"dead on",and I'm not a big fan of his.Look at his "now spinning" list.Mostly rock.Not easy to cozy up to,if you are a clas... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description I would like to add a final thought(by me),on this thread.A thread that I have attributed to,to it's detriment. I have received correspondence stating my being counterproductive,as well as being productive(a 50/50 split,actually). My initial react... | |
| Best super teeters to add to pair of horn speakers Chazzbo,you have a good idea,and will most likely gain rewards,if careful.I have heard,and investigated the fabulous Townshend Super Tweeter.It is the most flexible unit that I know of,and comes with a wonderful cable,to boot.Take a look at their ... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Nsgarsh is right,once again(what else is new).He has proven,time and time again,to me,that it's OK to be open minded.I have always felt the 47k load was just fine,with my set-up,and my friend has been absolutely adamant about keeping his set there... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description I am not going to post on this subject again(I hear the applause),but I never picked up on the "stated" vta backward shift,in the Uni vs "O" comparison.That is definitely an incorrect setting in my own,and friend's system.It happens to impact dear... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description Hey,in defense of Doug(really),I believe he and the others heard what was stated.My only bone of contention was there was no assumption of possibly getting better performance with a different set of parameters(forget breakin,eighty hrs is fine).It... | |
| Tranfiguration Orpheus description So sorry(for the traffic involved),but I did go back to my friend,this morning.We listened and played around a bit,with his "O".We both feel that we must have had too much wine,last week!How could we have liked it,SO much?Of course it did not chan... |
