| Wow I just got the KAB strobe With my direct drive turntables with pitch control, I found that--compared to the tempos Basie set--even a 1% variation made a significant difference in how engaging his band's presentation was.And this, good sir is why Regas typically measure fas... | |
| Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1 Triplanars come in two basic terminations:1. Hardwired from cartrdige lead to connectors (either RCA or XLR). In this configuration about 2.5 feet of cable runs inside a single braided sheath between the tonearm and a small rectangular box. This ... | |
| Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1 Hi Raul,Yes, I was trying to keep my answer general (not specific to the Triplanar) to help expand on the good advice you gave.With respect to the Triplanar, I have not opened up the junction box that is positioned 2/3 of the length down the tonea... | |
| Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1 Hi Bill,Contact me through the contact button on my website. I'll get with Frank on your DPS. He and I will hook up at the Rocky Mountain Audiofest in 3 weeks (drop on by suite 1130 if you're attending). I haven't spoken with Frank in a few weeks,... | |
| Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1 Hi Raul,By "finding" something, I was referring to establishing electrical continuity between pin-1 and the metal on the tonearm. If you're lucky and the tonearm cable has a shield which has electrical continuity to the tonearm's body, all is well... | |
| Mint Tractor I have seen too many fastidious audiophiles, including Dan and Doug find themselves shocked at the level of sonic improvement an arc-style protractor effected in the sound of their systems.You may be one of the few exceptions who can actually use ... | |

| Galibier questions Well,Some of my smartest customers agree to disagree. It's that close, and I go back and forth on this question myself.I think the particular strengths of your system, and more importantly their weaknesses will ultimately tilt you in one direction... | |
| Mint Tractor I'll walk you through the graphite cleaning, Dan. It might be a good topic to take on the Galibier Forum for other users as well.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| ZYX too light for my Shroeder arm. Help Hi Petng,I don't have the time to visit forum on a daily basis these days and didn't realize that you asked the same question (about anti-skate) over here as well as in a private e-mail to me. I might as well paste my private answer to you here, w... | |
| ZYX too light for my Shroeder arm. Help Please take Doug's comments in light of his experimentation with non-Schroeders.You will always have a "shim" with a Shroeder (a.k.a. cartridge carrier). Give this reality, you have the opportunity to tune the mass of your arm in two ways: (1) mak... | |
| Question concerning the Mint Tractor Ah ... I took a look at the Trans-Fi tonearm. It's the Ladegaard design - leveraging the kitchen tabletop concept of using nested angled aluminum for the air bearing. If this fellow has followed Ladegaard's general recommendations, then I'd say th... | |
| Question concerning the Mint Tractor Amen, Doug, Richard ...I frequently think about how better resolution allows you to hear more of the weird effects (sliding sound stage, etc.) as well as the good ones. The low distortion, low level detail resolution tells you a lot.In the case of... |
