| compare VPI Aries & TNT SM to Nottingham 294 That's interesting Tiger...I presume the tables went through the same amp, preamp, speakers. Kindly tell what the differences you heard were.. Thanks | |
| Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable. ...just my observation.... Purist cables have a fake sound. They are very "delicious"... great big soundstage (whether the recording was recorded that way or not).. rolled off highs, a kind of phasey sound, etc. It reminds me of how cartoons look ... | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? audiofeil - what in the world is wrong... Did Harry Weisfield run off with your wife??? You find any opportunity to kick VPI. I have been around high end audio for many years. I have listened to most of the high priced components, and let me tell ... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better Harry W... I had to wait as well. The wait is worth it. You get to open up the motor assembly and see a rats nest full of wire. You must cut and reattach the wires. MAKE SURE YOU"RE CUTTING THE CORRECT ONES. Oh - here's something I remember as wel... | |
| DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything What I have head is that DPS has a very complex power supply. When Ayre saw what DPS was doing, Ayre said...Hey = why don't you do it like this. So the result is that Ayre will make the power supply which is much cheaper enabling DPS to price its ... | |
| Living Voice Mystic Mat Platter Upgrade I had a Rega and loved my Boston mat with it. Makes a real difference. The felt mat sound....er...wooly | |
| Worth having my SOTA Sapphire refurbished? My take...Keep the Sota...its better than the less expensive Regas (which are very good). I can't believe you don't like the Vandersteen sound.... | |
| Turntable mats Boston = get rid of the felt mat and try this...guaranteed you wont go back | |
| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? There is nothing that ruins my system so completely as Cardas. I tried all of them, but they where abysmal. The power cords are the worst of the worst. | |
| Anti-Cable IC's Anti-Cables are the best that I have ever tried. I have had all the very high priced spread, but Anti-Cables beat them all. | |
| Soundsmith SMMC1 or Clearaudio Maestro on Rega P25 Grados do not do well in Regas. The hum problem can be fixed, but why bother... | |
| Rim Drive Mod or how to make it even better What I find so interesting is that the felt,et al only works with the rim drive - and only under the motors, and is detrimental under the platter assembly. Additionally, that it is a step backward using the felt under the motors as well with the b... | |
| What do defective phono tubes sound like? yes to the above posts, but also, get the tubes out and clean the sockets and tube pins. I had an Audio Research unit whose sockets and tube pins had to be cleaned, and the spitting noise was no more. | |
| Side to side cartridge vibration with loud pops. ..sounds like the cartridge/arm are resonating in the wrong place. ...maybe because of a warp, the aging of the cartridge, loosening of the attachment screws, or a million different things. I had a Grado Sonata in a Rega arm, and moved on. | |
| Expressimo RB 250 mistracking issue Make sure your table is leveled. Use an appropriate (mechanic's )level and be exact as to bubble placement. Put it on the turntable left to right and north to south. Try this first |
