| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Tbg, I've been in quite a bit of correspondence w/Lloyd re this, and I'm sure he can answer your q. Indeed he runs both Entreq and Troy. Entreq signal grounding and Troy chassis grounding. I believe he feels they complement each other, bringing di... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Sgunther, at £120 for the 3 mag feet, it's a no brainer. The only issue I'd be wary of is if your system tends twds over brightness/thinness, this might be exaggerated. In a more neutral or warmer sounding system, the SQ impvts are substantial.Lew... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable It'll be worth the wait - if you ever return from that parallel dimension: you know, the one where punk never happened and prog lp's are still spanned by millions, 24/7 on tt's across the world, a la 1973!Installing the mag feet has been a MASSIVE... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Harold, please be REALLY careful installing the mag lev feet, pref. have someone helping you. The rare earth magnets are v. powerful, and there is a real tendency for a bit of a fight until you fully engage the magnets and footers in place, esp. w... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Lewm, I 100% concur. I've been just as skeptical of audiophiles who've spent $300k+ on their systems, w/500kg spkrs etc, being TRANSFORMED etc by a single cable/puck etc. Tbh, it can rightly invite ridicule.These impvts I've noted are incremental,... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Peter, as you know I'm a big fan of the Salvation. Vic's mag lev feet take the performance to a whole new level. He has provided rare earth ring magnets of a v. powerful kind that screw into the collets fixed to the underside of the slate plinth. ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Harold, btw is your name a pun on the old Genesis song from Nursery Cryme?I believe what you're due to receive is what I've just fitted. I'm getting "interesting" results. Soundstage, treble info esp, and dynamics all boosted, but a definite chang... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Vic strikes again! I've just fitted out the 3 existing Salvation feet w/3 magnetic ones (opposing rare earth magnets in the plinth collets), so now we have an air bearing arm, and magnetic suspension for the platter and plinth via the feet.Unlike ... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Re levitating/air bearing tts, Vic has just released a second major mod of his Salvation rim drive tt on which I run his Terminator. The first was a magnetic bearing, and now magnetic feet to isolate the tt further - aiming to fit the latter soon,... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Keithr, not familiar w/Devore so can't comment, but after two and a half years of Def4 ownership, I can still confidently say it has the beating of many spkrs at 2-3x the price. That tone dense FRD presentation topped and tailed by the ethereal Ra... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Terry, you sound like a restless investigator, whereas I'm prob happy to stick as is. I fully acknowledge you may be maxxing out further SQ impvts in your Terminator set up. Would be curious if you ever put this to Vic to hear his opinions. | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... Terry, no sneer intended. It's just that I relayed users' ideas on more powerful pumps, and he's perplexed because it's a deliberate low-pressure design.Can you describe in a great deal more detail what the schematic on such an arrangement is? I w... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Dg, I got lucky and picked up a used Audion Quattro 4 box dual mono preamp w/factory mods. This was after I auditioned the $25k!!! Koda K10 (too bass-centric/lush) and the $2k Townshend Audio Allegri passive AVC (too sparse/matter-of-fact). The Qu... | |
| Trans-fi Terminator T3PRO opinions please... A bit confused by talk of more powerful pumps, gentlemen. Vic the designer spent years designing the Terminator to operate on a low pressure pump, esp to minimise noise. I can't see how going against this ethos can possibly help. Unless you know m... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Keithr, you've initiated a thread on WBF re the vagaries of spkr set up, I believe? And are getting much better results when an expert came over and analyzed things scientifically? I'm sure you'll get there in the end. Tbh, I'm poss moving in the ... |
