| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update No, you're unfortunately right. It's my biggest bugbear with the arm. I pretty much check VTF on a daily basis, normally have to adjust at least every other day.I'm about to install super-fine Zavfino Litz-76 tomearm wire which should minimise thi... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Ledoux, setting those counterweight for correct VTF seems one part luck and...one part luck Lol. I wish there was a slam dunk way to set and forget precisely. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I'm about to try the Eheim pump. Have decided not to go to crazy on pumps/smoothing tanks mods.Andrey's new arm is absolutely undeniable. I'm using it in conjunction w Owen's Al arm mount from NZ. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update What do you need to know? It's an improvement in every way. Critically lower mids/upper bass articulation, imaging and air. I was hugely skeptical...I mean, it's pretty much the same design except for the mix of brass and aluminium in the manifold... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I think cart weight is the major limiting factor. My 7g Straingauge works flawlessly. A mate of mine JUST manages the 15g Clearaudio Goldfinger.I heard the DaVa field coil yesterday, and am smitten. But at 23g, never gonna happen. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update So Ledoux, the benefits audibly of adding extra tanks outweighs the theoretical disadvantages of having to run a higher pressure/air flow? | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I'm confused by this. Vic formally warns against using higher flow pumps. 180-250 litres/hour is his recommendation. So if using extra tanks necessitates more pressure/higher flow, isn't this contradictory? | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Ledoux...adding additional smoothing tanks permits lowering of air pressure at the pump? | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? Jas, nothing much else re this combination. I believe Zu needs about 40W to come alive...in my case 70W triodes gets my Defs 4 to fully saturate my space approx 4x larger than most standard living spaces. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I'm running Andrey's new Terminator/Owen's Al armbase. I cannot praise the combination enough. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Why is this 4" PVC tube an improvement over the other tanks suggested?Re Eheim, strange you should mention that...a client of mine into aquariums as a hobby suggested this very make to me. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I've been chatting with Simes about this. My pump is over 55'/15m from the stock smoothing tank, thence 15'/5m to Terminator. He contends that length of air hose will already be doing a lot to smooth air flow, but I'm game to try an extra 30 or 50... | |
| IS SOUND SMITH. STILL IN BUSINESS? Big fan here, Straingauge customer since 2014. Due for two SGS-6 stylii replacements in next 18 months.Best Covid era news yet, Peter still rocking. | |
| Minus k Technology BM-8 Isolation Platform Mike, you're right in your observations. My rim drive tt is asymmetrically loaded, and in my short, frustrating trial with it, I absolutely struggled to sort this. Additionally I needed to mass load the MK to get close to it's limit, and of the th... | |
| Zu + what DAC =Musical Happiness. Well, off course that's the only way to know for sure. LTA may offer MHDT dacs on trial/sale or return. Qutest should be easy to demo. |
