| Mint Protractor for the Classic Toneram 10.5i-SE Using VPI alignment, the tip of the stylus would be between 0.5-1mm behind mint protractor. I am having a bit of a difficulty as my VPI protractor has a bit more wiggle room than Feickert protractor when seated on the platter sothere is going to b... | |
| Mint Protractor for the Classic Toneram 10.5i-SE I used Feickert Protractor to measure S2P distance on my VPI Classic 3 and I got 258 as well. I tried both VPI protractor and MintLP and slightly prefer Mint's result as well.I looked back at my email with Yip and he did not mention what he used f... | |
| To ring or not to ring? One VPI Classic, it is a no brainer. Peripheral ring works really well, even on perfectly flat LP.Some tables will suffer from using peripheral ring but VPI Classic is not one of them. I don't think I ever saw negative comment regarding peripheral... | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body Lotus, I heard Koetsu Onyx with TW Raven 10.5 arm/Raven One and it was just ok . I also tried Coralstone with Reed 3Q and Raven AC-1 and I was not impressed. Coralstone really is working much much better on my FR64s with Micro Seiki table. However... | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body Lyra Atlas works beautifully with my Reed 3Q and TW. For me, it has enough bass and slam to satisfy my occasional pop/rock listening but I tend to listen to mostly classical, opera, vocal music, piano and the like. I know some of my friends prefer... | |
| Allnic Puritas vs. Koetsu Stone Body I have Coralstone (regular version) on FR64s which works very well. I tried Coralstone on Reed3Q (22g effective mass) and TW Raven AC-1 and it was not a good combination, rather bland and uninspiring. TW also does not recommend using Koetsu with i... | |
| VPI Classic 3 IDLE drive I have a Classic 3 that arrived last August or September, I think. It has a larger pulley like the one on youtube clip. There is about 3-4mm clearance between Pulley and platter. I saw one of the earliest version of Classic 3 that has smaller pull... | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please I got Miyajima Zero recently and even with only about 20-30 hours of playtime so far, it has been impressive. Unfortunately I have no other mono cartridge to compare to since it is my first one. It certainly outperformed any stereo cartridges that... | |
| SACD vs Regular CD's On recordings that were recorded in DSD then downsampled to 16/44 for CD, I found the SACD to be significantly better (for example Perahia's Goldberg variation on Sony, Paavo Jarvi's Beethoven cycle ). Some SACD release from older analogue tape (L... | |
| Mc Anna , Graham Phantom Tonearm & TW AC3 SYNERGY My guess is that these combination probably will not be ideal. I have not heard Anna but heard A90 so this is a bit of a guess here, assuming that there is a family resemblance. However, I have Graham 12 inch arm and TW.Depending on your taste and... | |
| European Vibraplane? Regarding Minus K, I have my TW sits on a platform on top of Minus K so aligning center of gravity on Minus K is a breeze even on unit like TW AC one where the motor stick out on one side. Regarding motion when moving tonearm, are you using your f... | |
| SP10 MK3 recommendation I have Reed 3Q 12 inch arm (cocobolo) and used it with Air Tight PC-1 Supreme and now have Lyra Atlas on it. Using both on TW Raven AC-1, I would give an edge to Lyra. Air Tight is a bit cooler, a little bit more delicate, bass is tight, deep. Lyr... | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please Robyatt, thanks for your information. I wonder if you ever try modern mono reissue from Speaker Corners or Testament with Miyajima? The whole issue of using stereo system to cut LP instead of mono left me a bit confused and I am not sure how signi... | |
| Need recommendation on mono cartridge please Thanks for all the information. For now, I settled for Miyajima Zero and should have it sometimes next month.I would love to get Lyra Titan Mono but not sure if it justifies my current state of mono collections. However, it does have the appeal of... | |
| Analog vs Digital Confusion There are plenty of music that are available only in digital formats and there are plenty of music that are available only on LPs. Also some of the original analogue recordings were very poorly transferred to CDs.Whether you like new DDD recorded ... |
