| Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics SL-1200 Sam 12...just for the heck of it get three dominoes, but one under the middle front, and two in the back corners. You can get used dominoes from the Salvation Army, etc. Another thing you can try which also might improve the sound is getting 3 sma... | |
| No cartridge is good enough. nor is anything else | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? ..sounds like hukus pokus to me. I never clean my new records...even old ones (except if I discover peanut butter and jelly) on them. I run a Hunt brush over them before playing to remove dust, and am good to go. My records from 1970's have an occ... | |
| Cartridge breakin ......how long? To me hours are meaningless. Just listen and enjoy your music. If while listening something is bothering you, experiment with VTF, arm height, loading....it should be a quest for satisfaction and your ability to squeeze your system to provide it. | |
| How often do you upgrade your turntable? its like anything else...when your wallet is too thick decide the best way to thin it. | |
| VPI Belt types If you want to upgrade, the Super Platter should be replaced with a Classic....major improvement. Belts ..not nearly so much...You probably won't even notice a difference at all. | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Have the cover custom made if you can't do it...it will save lots of money...even if you make it from brass. | |
| Best Cartridge for Raidho D3 - Atlas, GFS, PC1-S I like the Ortofon or Lyra...the Etna gets more to my soul than does the Atlas, but I would be delighted with either. | |
| Turntable set up- How easy is it Its not that hard, but it is exacting. Be prepared to spend days before it's done.....actually it would be beneficial to tweak it from time to time thereafter. You should have the proper tools...good light, a quiet safe desk to work on, including ... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? As time goes on, top of the line electronics are abandoning their colored sound in favor of neutrality. Today's best electronics are meeting in the middle ground where perfection lies. I too have Ayre electronics and you really can't tell from whi... | |
| A month of tweaks ..only a month?? I've been working at mine for years, and can always find some improvement. ..the joy of the hobby. | |
| Spotify sounds compressed I'm streaming Spotify through an Asus wifi/Denon through Airplay, and it sounds fine. I only listen to it for background music throughout the house, but it certainly is acceptable. | |
| Measuring VTF on a Clearaudio Concept Moonglum has a good answer, but remember that playing a record is a dynamic adventure. As the arm goes up to the top of a warp, it weighs more than on the flat...providing you were careful about the setup to begin with. Also vtf affects vta which ... | |
| Best arm for Dr. Feickert Analogue Firebird Table Atmosphere.... I agree that LP's do a great job, but there probably (wasn't there) was a world of difference between the record and her actual voice. I'm a pro violinist, and can tell you that my violin sounds different in every room I play it in ... | |
| clearaudio turntables vs vpi Thanks Hiendmuse....I agree...a 2000 dollar experiment would be reasonable for me too. |
