| Which Pre Phono between Dynavector XX2 and AN M3 Audiofeil, You forgot the YMMV part as well. What do you know of/sell that has the gain, flexibilty and significantly outperforms the P5xe at or even twice it's price without taking too much liberty with the RIAA curve? I'm not taunting, I really ... | |
| Which Pre Phono between Dynavector XX2 and AN M3 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the Ayre P5xe may be the best at anywhere near this price point(and much higher). First of all, I'm not a P5xe owner(GCPH) but I've been researching phono stages for a couple years and it seems the only o... | |
| HELP Stylus Cantilever slightly bent to the left If you use and arc style protractor and align the cantilever with the paralel lines, it should sound right reguardless of this bend and I don't think it should worsen over time. Then again, if you think it sounds right now maybe you're well aligne... | |
| Raven Black Night Dgad, I realize my comparison is simplistic and unscientific. I'm just a kid with a crayon connecting the dots before I can see the whole picture. No disrespect for TW Acustic is intended at all. In fact, the pictures of your setup make the Raven ... | |
| Raven Black Night Aluminum plinth, 50# platter, baterry powered motor. I'm no expert but it seems to be taking on a little more similarity to the Galibier tables (esp. Stelvio)which is the other table I'm considering as a real option. Just my simple minded observat... | |
| Raven Black Night Wow. A Saskia with a Schroder tonearm would be less. I'm sure it's a great table, but the Raven AC is looking more like a bargain in this light. I guess I should wait to see what the actual price is before I pass judgement. | |
| Raven Black Night Surely it will cost more than the AC, but how much and will it be worth it? I hope Highwater will have the scoop when I visit in May. Might they even have one to demo then? Unlikely. | |
| Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint? That sounds like a fun tour but the trip to Highwater is during a visit with my wife and three oldest children at my brother's in New York. I'm afraid I won't have time to visit Pennsylvania and wouldn't want to impose on Doug. Freedom is a luxury... | |
| Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint? I agree. In this catagory the Galibiers have to be considered a relative bargain. From the research I've done so far it seems they deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as other top tables and it appears the level of service may be second to ... | |
| MintLP revisited Also, I think it's important to recheck the whole setup periodically to make sure it hasn't drifted out of the alignment you originally acheived. A slight bump here and there and gradually you may not be where you thought you were. I'm guessing yo... | |
| Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint? Personally, I love Mosin's table, though I haven't heard it. It's beautiful and looks like it would be reliable for a lifetime. You may recall my past complaint about it's cost. I'm over that now and appoligize to any I may have offended with my r... | |
| Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint? Thanks Doug, I think it makes sense to optimize the tape drive first but I do think the flexibility to use the Versus may give these tables an advantage over the Raven. May lean toward Galibier. Trying to get ahold of Thom on email but I'm sure he... | |
| Wall mount TT shelf recommendations Halcro seems to have a lot of input on this topic. Look up some of his posts in the archives. | |
| Is a VPI better then a $10 Clothing Steam Iron? I haven't seen warping with a hand held steamer and it produces results similar to what you're describing at the same price. As for the VPI, it makes the whole process more convenient and probably more effective which will be worth the modest pric... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? Does anyone know anything about this Black Knight other than that it's the new reference table from TW acustic(such as design particulars, availability or price)? |
