| Voodoo Audio Silverstream HDMI vs Purist Audio HDMI vs Wireworld Silver Starlight HDMI Dave knows what he's talking about. | |
| Vibration Issues / Turntable Decisions Ron - I told you how to fix the problem. You seem not to be able to read or not wanting to fix it. Your Thorens is a good turntable, your table is not. The wood wedged between the wall and table is very much like the wall support. | |
| Another soundstage question Why not call/write Richard....I'm sure he'll respond | |
| Troubleshooting balance issues If it changes with speaker cable swap, then it must be before the speakers. The next thing I'd do is actually swap the whole speaker cable....disconnect the cable and reconnect them with the former left on the right etc. If it is the same, then ... | |
| "Straight" talk chakster.... who told you that? ..just saw VandenHul...... this is not a hard and fast rule. Maybe for VdH, but not as a universal rule. Also, in regard to the arm used.... If the bearing is at a different angle than is the headshell/cartridg... | |
| Looks like a new Magnepan speaker is coming!!! I love Maggies.....except they don't last long. They self-delaminate after a few years....(5 or so) Maybe the brand new ones are using a different Dupont(?) product...I would hope. | |
| "Straight" talk The Foz is not self calibrating...there is a simple procedure. Mine always registers 0 to begin. If you can set azimuth by ear...have at it. I know mine is correct. The arm does have an offset, however, the arm moves up and down on the same pla... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening Here's my advice.....if you already have a system that plays CD's do that. All the music you want to listen to is on CD. Hire a teacher and take violin, flute, sax etc. lessons. When you know how music works, you'll appreciate those CD's even mo... | |
| "Straight" talk you have to be nuts to readjust your arm for every or even for different records. This started out to be a caution for all to properly adjust azimuth, and how important this adjustment is on sound. I've said what I wanted - this line of posts i... | |
| What tonearm will better mine? If you do decide on a VPI 3D arm...also seriously consider the 2nd pivot modification. | |
| "Straight" talk Lewn...yes I know the battery issue is bantered about. Its really not nearly as critical as has been posted. Never-the-less...you really only have to do the proceedure once or twice ...and then a week later to absolutely assure yourself its cor... | |
| "Straight" talk Lewn....I wrote what I wrote to say that the adjustment is not just an act to get it done, but a very important one for which care should be given. Too many on these pages seem to go through the motions with alacrity rather than care. The Fozgom... | |
| Anyone tried Vandersteen w/ Spectral? In my experience, Vandersteen speakers perform above their price point. I've heard his speakers with many brands, and with their ability to be adjusted easily, play well with any good brand...including Spectral. | |
| "Straight" talk Chakster....the point of my post was not to discuss which arm is better than another....only to emphasize the importance of proper azimuth setting. All too often there are those that think that a setting with a bubble level,a metal rod, a mirror ... | |
| "Straight" talk The point of me posting this thread is that in my setup, nothing I did has had as great a difference as when I locked in azimuth. I tried tracking 1/2 grm more or less than Ortofon's recommendation, I tried raising/lowering the back end of the to... |
