| Where can I get replacement screws for Dynavector? Failing all of the other good advice above:McMaster-Caarr at http://www.mcmaster.com/Brass Slotted Pan Head screws - part # 90928A211 (M2.5 x 10 mm long) - .45mm pitch) $12.33 per 50.Or 316 Stainless (non magnetic) - part # 92290A060(M2.5 x 10 mm ... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? Thanks for stepping in, Doug.Also, note that the rule of parallel resistors applies, but in the case of two largely different resistor values (like 47K and 500 ohms), the net parallel resistance is for all intents and purposes that of the lower va... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? Hi Dgad,Frank Schröder suggests that the upper effective mass limit for a silver based ZYX (Airy / Universe) is 15 grams. My experience points toward this being at the very top, with 11-12 grams giving you a bit more nimbleness.The Dyna XV-1s does... | |
| any DAC recommend for around $1000-1300? Hello ryo,For one review of the Monarchy , check this article in Positive Feedback. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue25/monarchy_m24.htmDisclaimer/disclosure: the reviewer used my system for most of the evaluations. Also, I might note that I ... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? Hi Dgad,Just be aware when you do the Universe/XV-1s comparison that your results could easily be reversed in different systems. Are you aware of any of the system particulars that you can share at this time?Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? Hi Ed,When you get into high-mass unsuspended turntables, the arm compatibility is reduced to a non-issue - at least from a mass perspective, because there is no resonant tuning to deal with a turntable's suspension.This reduces the challenge such... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? Hi Ed,If I had the time, I'd be evaluating the Phantom right now. Unfortunately, this is proving to be a busy Summer, and free time such as it were is booked for other projects. I'm hopeful that I can pick this up in the Fall.Some on this list may... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? We did an all-night tonearm / cartridge session on Saturday night. Schröder / Triplanar / Universe / XV-1s / Benz LPJeez, I'm getting too old for this abuse. Truthfully, the difference between 35 ohms and 78 (the resistors I had on hand) were very... | |
| SME 20/2 SME V or Triplanar VII? Hi Ed,I haven't been on the forum in about a week, and someone pointed me to this thread. The owner you'll be visiting is running a couple of cartridges - a Van den Hul and one other (Denon DL-103R?) riding on a Micro Seiki MA-505 Mk III tonearm. ... | |
| ZYX Universe silver vs copper Doug, all ... I realized that my post above was a bit nebulous. My most extensive and controlled silver/copper experimentation involved the Airy-3. By experimenting with loading, I was able to close the gap between the two variants ... still prefe... | |
| ZYX Universe silver vs copper Hello all,I've heard things on high resolution systems that one can only get a hint at on other systems. Even on my rig, the difference between copper and silver coiled ZYSXs is subtle but noticeable - with a preference for the copper, which is in... | |
| Looking for moderate priced MC phono pre Hi Newbee,The faster we go, the rounder we get ... It's difficult to understand exactly what you're running from your system description.Do I understand you that you have relegated the ARC SP10 (a full function preamp) to phono stage duty? This is... | |
| Looking for moderate priced MC phono pre Hi Newbee,You need to give us more information about your system, your goals, and what "moderate"means in the context of your finances. Your comments about downsizing because you don't listen to much vinyl anymore reminds me of the stereotypical p... | |
| Polypropylene as a Turntable Base Material This is great stuff! Thanks for the link Ait.As you reflect on all of this, bear in mind that there are quite a few different ways to solve a problem. This will help you keep your sanity and enjoy the ride.If you think about Frank Schröder's tonea... | |
| Polypropylene as a Turntable Base Material Hi Ait,This topic was one of the most contentious ones during the late Winter and early Spring of 2000 - when the original Teres project was its most active. In December, 1999 through January, 2000, the original Teres-5 worked through the basic pa... |
