| This Sistrum stuff works Sarah. I personally think that you are doing the right thing, because it is generally thought that the Trampolin is not a good upgrade to the Linn.I read some of your other posts, where you have mentioned the difficulties you had with the LP12 in ... | |
| Lifespan of a Benz Micro MC Silver cartridge? Ooooh! I just hate it when I break a cantilever! Luckily, I never did it on anything expensive, yet. | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Those Brits never did learn how to make a proper oil seal. Everything British leaks oil. Even Rolls Royces need drip pans underneath. | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? 9000rpm is a hell of alot of rpms out of a small block Chevy! I had a 1961 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite that had a highly modified 950cc(58 cid.) inline-4 cylinder pushrod engine, that I could coax 8600 rpm out of, before valve float. It made 104hp... | |
| Pro or hi-fi amp, which one would you choose? Just in case you weren't aware, high damping factors are a direct result of high negative feedback. A serious no-no in audiophile reproduction. | |
| Linn Ittok vs. Rega RB-300 That's a tough call, and I'm not going to stick my neck out and pick one. They are both good arms. The Linn has some colorations, and the Rega is more neutral. The Linn has a higher quality of construction throughout, and is very articulate. It al... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works I think the basic information has been presented and discussed, pro and con, on these products. For technical information and patent documents, you can see them at the audiopoints.com website. There will always be disagreements on what different p... | |
| Purist Audio Venustas Speaker Cable - Any Good ? I have not used these myself, but I have information from an excellent, and very experienced person that these are some of the very best cables available. He has used these, as well as all of the Purist cables, and many others. | |
| Can Wrong VTA Damage the Stylus? No. You will be alright. Just re-adjust, and continue. | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check I bought every single piece of gear I own on the internet. Not once did I ever even go into any high end dealer to audition or see any of the equipment. I don't go into those places. I'd rather go to the dentist, than into a high end audio store. ... | |
| Lifespan of a Benz Micro MC Silver cartridge? Yes, line contact styli such as VDH will last longer than the conical or regular elliptical, due to the shape. I guess that I change my cartridges a little sooner than Marty does. | |
| TT suggestions -- please Mike, I use a mass-loaded TT stand, which has granite slabs over wood, and topped with MDF covered with formica on the surface. I don't believe in soft isolation on a TT. I think isolation is the worst thing that you can do to a TT. In my opinion,... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Yes, Sean thank you. Michael Green "borrowed" the idea from Sistrum. Sistrum has the patents on it. Sistrum just did not want to disrupt the industry by making a big issue out of that. The same thing happened when a certain Canadian cable company ... | |
| TT suggestions -- please Mike. The Sota is also a very nice TT, as Sean and Nrchy point out. You would not go wrong with it either. I have my preference for the Teres however. | |
| Anyone ever heard of 'The Wave tube amps? Mwilson, I read that link you put up. It was a real fun article. Just what I was thinking about. I just might have to get a pair of those. |
