| Bybee quantum filters for speakers I have the older model Bybee Ultra-Quantum Speaker Purifiers, and I have found the same results on my system, as the reviewer found on his.I had to buy these "blind" because I could not find any first-hand knowledge about their use anywhere, when ... | |
| Advise.....Best cartridge under $1000.00 Slowhand, I think that if you are still using the JMW arm, that you are in safe territory with the Glider. If you can stretch a little, or get a deal, the Benz LO-4 is a better one. Of course you know I like the Shelter, but cannot recommend it on... | |
| Terres motor assembly with Aries Nameci, now that sounds more like it. I did not read that section of the thread that told about gluing the strobe pattern on and drilling the plinth. That makes me feel a lot better about this modification.In a case like that, the application woul... | |
| high end distortion What about your VTA? Have you tried to adjust this? Any improvements? | |
| Quietest amplifier you have ever owned. My current one. David Berning SET ZOTL. It is about -120db quiet. | |
| L.A times 12-24-02 analogue is back Amazing, isn't it?!The main question that comes to mind is, why is vinyl making a comeback, when it is so much easier to just pop in a CD disc?I think that the answer is that people are wanting more out of their music, and analog is a way to get i... | |
| Tweak: raising the subwoofer off the floor... This is simply a matter of reducing the floor boundary reinforcement of the bass frequencies. Getting it off the floor reduces the reinforcement of these frequencies by 3db and tends to make it less boomy sounding. It also may have the effect of h... | |
| MC Cart. - Frequency of De-Magnitization/Best Way? I have never de-magnetized my MC cartridges.Never felt the need, as I never heard any "veiling" occurring from magnetizing effects.Also, Van den Hul specifically states this is not a "safe" thing to do to your cartridge, as repeated de-magnetizing... | |
| To modify or not to mod..... that is the question. Chazzbo, not really sure what you mean by downsizing "size wise". But the Rega and OL arms are not nearly as easy to do a VTA adjustment on, as the VPI arms. But they can be adjusted, as long as you have the adjuster, that is normally included on ... | |
| Buried treasures you've forgotten? 4yanx, I am already there. Got all the early stuff on Japanese pressings, including Bare Trees, Mystery To Me, Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Mirage, and a regular pressing of Buckingham/Nicks, which has some great stuff on it too.Just try finding a mint... | |
| Terres motor assembly with Aries Well, I just read that stuff at the Audio Asylum, and it says nothing about using the strobe pattern or optical sensor. If they did not use this, then the motor had no speed control. Either they used the optical sensor and the platter printing, or... | |
| Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers Scarlett Rivera. Awesome. | |
| Terres motor assembly with Aries The Teres motor assembly is not easily used with other turntables, because it has a strobe pattern printed on the bottom of the platter, which is read by an optical sensor. This provides speed data to the microprocessor controller, to keep the DC ... | |
| Which turntable to buy? Agree with Ed Sawyer. | |
| Buried treasures you've forgotten? Waltersalas(Chris), I totally agree about Fleetwood Mac's "Mirage" album. I use it for both musical purposes and sonic enjoyment for it's recording quality. I especially like "Gypsy", which I always previously thought was trite pop, but now I like... |
