| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable I would like to offer another point of view on the Reso Mat. I and my friend tried out the Reso Mat on his highly modified slate plinthed Lenco, with a variety of arms including the Terminator. We felt that while the sound seemed to be cleaner, th... | |

| Practicality of footers to isolate turntables. I am using a TMC active pneumatic table (similar to the one under the Rockport Sirius III) under my Rockport Capella 2, and the improvement in background blackness and instrument layering within the soundstage is great.Used TMC active pneumatic ta... | |
| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? I agree with Geoch. I dont think the internal resistance of the Colibri XPP can be any where near 500 Ohm. While the resistance of platinum maybe a little higher than copper, it cant be that much higher.I had, and still have, the 0.22mv version ... | |
| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? I have used the Colibri XPP a few years back with the Pass Xono phono, and settled on 200 Ohm loading. Since that was quite a while ago, I couldnt remember whether I tried it with 47K Ohm though! | |
| Sirius and Walker Syntax said: The table was in a condition which was unable to navigate more than 3 tracks... First the disclosure, other than a happy user of the Rockport Capella II and the 6000 arm in Hong Kong, I have no connection with Andy Payor, Jonathan Ti... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Frogman,For direct couple counterweight, I am thinking of fabricating something similar to the Walkerhttp://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/walker4/vtf%20and%20center%20gravity.jpgI think it is probably important to keep the total weight of this co... | |
| Sirius and Walker Dear Unoear,I took a careful look at the photos of your tone arm, and here are a couple of suggestions:1. I see that the wire are nearly completely covered by the black shrink wrap (or it may actually be a host, I am not sure as I dont have my 60... | |
| Sirius and Walker Dear Unoear, Dertonarm,Do you mean the Rockport arm would skip track or has serious distortion towards the end of the LPs?I have been using the Rockport 6000 arm on their Capella II turntable for nearly 10 years now. While I cant say the wire h... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi everyone, very interesting topic! I have obtained a used ET2 with Bruce’s upgrade 2.5 bearing, but have yet to set it up.I am very interested in the discussion on the I-beam compliance. As far as I can tell, the arm on the Walker Proscenium tur... | |

| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Hi Dertonarm, if I understand correctly, the alignment you chose aimed at minimizing distortion at the last 1/3 of the grooves radius, which I think make a lot of sense, as the inner tracks are inherently harder to track, and in addition, many of... | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Hi Nandric, I agree with you that we should also worry about the max. distortion, actually maybe more so than the min distortion, as it is already quite small. | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor I have a Graham Phantom arm, which comes with the cartridge set-up jig. While I dont have the jig in front of me, IIRC, there are 2 markings (for 2 different alignment curves) roughly around 1mm apart, which is a big difference considering the pr... | |
| VPI SDS help I had the same problem using the SDS with my Rockport Capella II. I borrowed a 230V output SDS (as I was in Hong Kong) to power the Capella, and while it worked fine for 33, the platter would slow down and stop when I switched to 45 with the SDS. ... |
