| Question concerning the Mint Tractor Hi Doug,Thom and others have suggested that Paul and I may become less particular about this after Mint-ing. That hasn't happened and isn't likely too. Why should improved stylus alignment in one plane encourage sloppiness in another? My lazy back... | |
| What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage? Doctor C ...Give us some system context on this "perfect RIAA forever".Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Swapping Cartridges on the DV 507MKII Greetings Strickman451,While you can use the supplied overhang gauge, the first thing I'd do would be to thoroughly read the Feickert and MintLP alignment threads currently running on this forum. I would then carefully visit my setup with your cur... | |
| Mint Tractor Hi Doug,We can most certainly thank Palasr for getting us up off our collective butts to try going arc-style. My relatively imprecise card-stock protractors (compared with Yip's MintLP's) immediately caught my attention, and while not perfect, the... | |
| Review: Galibier Stelvio Turntable Yup, you have to deal with me on a Saturday if you buy a Stelvio. I never got around to mentioning this on the Stelvio page, but it does come up in conversation with perspective customers.While I consider the in home setup to be part of the purcha... | |
| Any one using Dampening fluid on there Schroeder? Ah ... I missed the reference to the Musicman. Never mind about loading.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Any one using Dampening fluid on there Schroeder? What problem are you trying to solve? It sounds as if you're trying to solve some sort of edginess that you're hearing. * Is your alignment perfect (as in arc-protractor perfect)? * Is your counterweight lock screw fairly tight? This is one screw ... | |
| tonearm geometry question Walk around your turntable (closer to your left speaker) and look at it again.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Those simpler times..... Yes, it's hard to go back (system-wise), but at the same time, I agree with everyone on this thread.If my hi-fi can't convey the passion and emotion embodied in American Beauty, Live Dead, and Bless It's Pointed Little Head (listen to Grace sing "... | |
| Recommendations For New Table/Arm Under $4k Artemus_5,The controls on the motor pod top plate are:a) a 3-position switch: 45 rpm - off - 33 rpmb) 2 knobs: to find-trim the speed of 45 and 33 independently Regards,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions All,Don't worry about published pivot to spindle distances with arms like the VPI (whose p-s distance can be easily compensated for). For these tonearms as well as "fresh mounts" (where you're not stuck with a given p-s distance), work from the ef... | |
| Benz LP Ebony, and S-Class Ebony Hi Stringreen,These cartridges are sensitive to .02-.03 grams tracking force changes. Yes, that's not a typo. You should be able to find a few digital gauges in that $100 price range that will give you .01 g accuracy.You'll find quite a few commen... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Ah ... you're talking about the vintage, 3009 then? The same analysis would apply.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Cartridge downgrade? Well ... maybe you know some of my preferences ;-)I wish this forum software allowed you to edit your posts so I could be more clear on the "first" try.What I meant to say was that while some of the carts on this short list may not be championed b... | |
| Cartridge downgrade? Hi Kent,I have my definite preferences, but voicing them here would not be relvant to you. The manufacturers on your short list are made by companies with a true musical vision and with integrity. I wish I could say the same for the majority of au... |
