| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Yes, Sirspeedy, but keep it "interesting" and not truth. There are those (not necessarily in your read) that easily can provide very logical explanations for untruths. Sometimes things are not what they seem. For instance...did you know that when ... | |
| Low Hours Phono Cartridges? Excellent!! Buying a used cartridge is a crapshoot. Look up the stylus and into the cartridge and check for schmutz | |
| Hadcock 228 vs. Nima vs. Kuzma Stogi S for Linn I agree with Palasr above. You really have to be careful with arms on a suspended table. I don't know the weight of these arms, but you must be aware of the weight since it effects the springs. I remember many years ago I had a Sota and decided to... | |
| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP Madfloyd..if the VPI sounds horrible, it is not the result of damping...that puts the "finishing touches" on to a properly set up and running turntable. | |
| VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS? Frogman... My point was that short term speed deviations can be/are very distracting/annoying, and that long term speed difference aren't important. Going back to the original posts that said things like lubrication, dynamic contrast friction, etc... | |
| Acoustic Signature Turntables Support must be included in the decision for purchase. The best component in the world is useless if it is not backed up by the manufacturer. These things can't be repaired by the local tv repair shop...if you can even find one of those.. | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Naturally owners will favor their purchases...they not only voted with words, but with their checkbooks. | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? At the time I bought the Superscout, size was important to my wife (I guess to all women....) Anyway, my dealer had both on display, and the Superscout sounded more like my idea of what real music sounded like. Of course, the SS had 2 motors, the ... | |
| Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP Madfloyd. The damping fluid is for damping the arm. If you take the VPI arm off of its mount, there is a small cup=like affair with that big spike that holds your arm. That is where the fluid goes. Whether to use fluid at all is up to you. You did... | |
| XLR-RCA: Adapters or Custom Cable? Id call the manufacturers to get their opinion. YOu could do damage. Adapters alway ruin the sound...a custom made cable with RCA on one end and XLR on the other is just a longer adapter. | |
| Which speaker for my system? I am using 5A's. Both the Quatro and 5A's have built in powered sub-woofers which thereofore take a big burden off of your amp..which makes the amp perform better as well. The quatros are set up to match the accoustics of your room by your dealer ... | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Stickman451...I'm using a VPI Superscoutmaster with a VPI 10.5i arm. The table has the heavy platter, the SDS of course, the mini-feet, no anti-skate, Benz LP cartridge with Anti-Cable balanced (XLR) output. I also have a Gingko dust cover which m... | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? oh yes...stiltskin...I find that your listening to these fabulous turntables a/b ing with the same components ...a little far reaching to accept. | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? Fine Swiss watches are pase... Twelve dollar watches keep better time, and don't need oiling and referishing. I think my Rolex sucks. | |
| Weird issue with my VPI... please help Madfloyd... The VPI Signature 9 incher works extremely well with Dynas and Benz's. The "signature" is mainly the use of Nordost tonearm wiring (there is additional tonearm tube damping). I must admit it doesn't sound very good at all when new. My ... |
