| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? My Talea(sl no. 26) arrived in mid December and I reckon I have managed between 75 to 100 hrs listening. Though I did exchange a few mails with Joel, I was hesitant to post any comments until I had achieved some familiarity with the arm and confid... | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? MarkI compared the two Mint LPs I still have. The older one that came over 2years ago for the Triplanar does have a copper hue or tinge as compared to the one I received with the Talea(thanks Dan), which has a silvery white background. On second t... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Process on a Loricraft A Loricraft PRC 4 Dlx replaced a 3 yr old VPI 16.5. While the more expensive PRC, IMHO, is a major improvement on the VPI, I suspect my cleaning results are still sub optimal in the absence of an enzyme in my cleaning regimen. Have just ordered an... | |
| MintLP Protractor Issue. Anyone else? Am on my 3rd Mint LP in 3 years and apart from some scratch marks at the null points caused by the stylus , I have observed no other wear and tear and certainly no brown marks or discolouration of the kind Mark found. I live in a relatively more i... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Dan and DougYou are too kind...I am almost blushing!Seriously, did you get around to mounting the Shelter 901 on the Talea?I suspect that it may be possible to coax a little more out of the Talea if the cart were to be aligned with a Mint LP. Than... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? I was fortunate, nay privileged, to audition the Talea a weekend ago thanks to Doug and Dan.With my Transfiguration Orpheus L mounted alternately on Dan's Talea and Triplanar, I have no doubt which is the superior tonearm. IMHO, the Talea is way a... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Many thanks for all the suggestions/comments/advice.JfrechAm loving the VPS and am managing to squeeze enough gain from the tube only stage. Did contemplate the 12" Graham but was dissuaded from that path by many incl. Thomas of TW.Dan_edI may yet... | |
| Why three motors? MeaselMany thanks. If my HRS S1 can accomodate the longer belt, the shorter one, IMHO, should be no problem. Have asked the dealer in Singapore for it. As and when it arrives will make the sonic comparisions in house and post results.Cheers | |
| Why three motors? MesaelAm curious about the short belt. I thought the manual says a min/max of 310mm to 320mm distance between the spindle centre and the centre of the motor housing. Is the short belt available from TW or elsewhere ? Are there any sonic benefits? ... | |
| Why three motors? As a recent convert/owner of an AC1 I too am mighty curious and sceptical. There are some A'goners who have traversed the 3 motor route. Would be interesting to hear from them.Loved the wooden armboard in one of the pics. Can it be ordered?Cheers | |
| questions for TW Acustic Raven One owner My Raven AC1 has been with me for a month but I reckon I may at best have 20 to 30 hrs of play time. So take what I have to say with oodles of salt. No changes in the rest of my vinyl chain : Transfiguration Orpheus L cart, Triplanar VII U2, Nagra... | |
| Michell Gyro Se running a little slow Check to see that the main screw under the spindle is tight. If not fully tightened at installation it can become loose resulting in a lower speed. Had this problem some time back. Need a coin to fully tighten it.NJoy | |
| Michell Gyro/Orbe owners upgrade path StanwallThis is beyond asprin but its huge fun ! If boys can't play with toys, whats the purpose of life ?On that pedantic philosophical note would appreciate comments of A'goners who have travelled the Michell road and beyond.Cheers | |
| Sub for Quad ELS-989 I have been expermenting and searching for an ideal(??) sub combo for my Quad 2905s and believe am almost there. As rightly pointed out there are 2 ways to go : using an external crossover like a Bryston 10 Sub or a Marchand to block out all signa... | |
| Leonard Cohen In Concert--WOW I saw him at the MSG event in NYC on Oct,23. It was awesome and will remain one of my all time cherished memories. |
