| It takes music to open up a tube preamp/amp I have found that a certain amount of time of warming up will make most systems sound better, and especially the very good ones. Tubes need to be played to get them sounding where you want them to be. I find I usually have to listen to at least 1 ... | |
| Newbie question on TT. Make sure the belt is good, and clean the RCA connectors real well. Get a cartridge alignment protractor for $20 from turntablebasics.com and make sure the cartridge is aligned properly. Make some minor adjustments in the tracking force and anti-s... | |
| What cartridge for MMF-7? Stuart, thanks. Yes I recommended MM becuase of the output. With low output MC, there is more gain needed, and inexpensive phono stages aren't known for doing that very well.Here's what I'd recommend. Go the inexpensive route on the phono stage an... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Tom, when I get a chance to come out and do a comparison, I'll let you know. I really can't give you a definitive answer on that, because I have not set them side by side and compared. If I said something about it and was wrong, I'd be doing peopl... | |
| What cartridge for MMF-7? Your selection of phono stage will have alot to do with what cartridge you can use. You need to have the proper amount of gain for the cartridge. I think that if you are going to use a low cost phono stage, that you would be better with a good qua... | |
| Planning to go analog Smokester, the issue of how a table will interact with the room and floorborne vibrations is very dependent on the individual situation. I have found that my Teres actually has less problems with this than my suspended turntables. If it is possibl... | |
| Where are analog resources for the beginner? A very good start would be in the Audiogon archives. There is a wealth of information right there. Then do some searches on Google, under turntable design and stuff like that. You will turn up alot of articles about what a turntable should do and ... | |
| Planning to go analog Dan ed, I think that getting any turntable is a commitment. There are some things that will have to be learned, no matter which TT you buy. Once those are learned, they apply to all TTs. It is just as easy to learn them on a great TT as a poor one... | |
| Planning to go analog As I said previously, I have not directly compared them. But it would not surprise me at all, if the Teres was not only in the league, but better. Beating more expensive turntables is what the Teres does best. I can't tell you for sure if it will ... | |
| Planning to go analog Never directly compared the two, so I cannot say definitively which would be better. I have my suspicions, but that is all I can say without a direct comparison.As for cartridges, I can only conclude you want a top notch one, because that would be... | |
| SACD crossroads again? Mejames, I posted an answer to your analog question on the other thread, where you asked it. I think that is the way to go. I tried SACD too. Now I'm just analog. | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Mejames, I know you have a very high end system. In order for you to really do justice to your system, I would recommend getting something that is a little higher in the line from the Teres 135. I had the 135 and it was very good. But the 245 or 2... | |
| What are the best DIY cables you've heard? Just DIY interconnect cables would be fine with me. No ego to stroke here. | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? I agree that the Redpoint TT is a very good one. It is made by some of the same people that worked on the Teres project, and some feel it is an improvement. Another one of the better values in the TT arena. | |
| Math calculations about the speed of a TT..help... It is because the master is cut the same way it is played. |
