| Continuation of my Thread on VPI, Basis, Origin... Zaikesman, there is some information from Rwd's previous threads, that is at play here. He is having a problem with the JMW and the Helikon, as a combo. The Benz is not a problem, as I see it. From his previous threads, he has identified the JMW/H... | |
| Bringin' that thrift-store smell home I consider the "Thrift Store Smell" to be a kind of status symbol, that lets visitors know I have a large vinyl collection. I have heard that it is thought to have an aphrodisiac effect on certain female audiophiles. I'm still waiting to find out. | |
| Riddle me this... I'd like to put my 2 cents in regarding these last few posts, that have alot of merit in them. Nothing is perfect, and we will compromise in whatever we get.Like Sean says, it takes surface area and power to move alot of air for high-SPL deep bass... | |
| Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking? Agree with the vote for Teres Audio. They are beautiful looking, and sounding, turntables, with a clean, functional, and elegant appearance. If you want something that is an industrial art statement, look at the Vyger Atlantis. Now that is a chunk... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Hey, what about Robert Johnson? Or is that going back too far? He's the blues man. | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Sean, alot more Americans know what is going on than many might think. The problem is that it is not really known what to do about it. It is a very sticky problem, and all the "normal" roads to the solution have been cleverly blocked or subverted ... | |
| Upgrade to Graham 2.2 ? I think you would get a better sonic improvement for your money by moving up to the Basis 2500 or 2800, and keeping the Rega arm. The RB900 is a very good arm, and although the Graham may be better, you get more improvement by upgrading the TT, th... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" I'm for anyone that wants to leave this country, to go on, and get out. We have enough problems without having to put up with the whining of those that don't want to be here. Unfortunately, we get stuck with the Alec Baldwin types who whine incess... | |
| Continuation of my Thread on VPI, Basis, Origin... Jackcob, yes I agree with what you say about that, as I definitely prefer gimbal bearing arms with low compliance. But, there is a somewhat mitigating factor with the Graham, because it has the "outrigger weights" that tend to stabilize it better ... | |
| Step-up Transformer, what's lost? Okay, look, we have 2 situations here. Standard MM input with a gain level for about 4mv cartridges, and some type of MC input with higher gain for a low-output MC cart. There is no free ride. Either you have a step up transformer into the MM stag... | |
| Why Linear Tracking never took off? Ha! Phasecorrect, you will get some posts on this thread for sure.Actually linear tracking did "take off", and it is seen on some of the best, and most expensive turntables made. Rockport, Walker, Forsell, Versa Dynamics, Maplenoll,Goldmund, Clear... | |
| amperex 6922 options Just be careful, the Amperex is one of the most commonly counterfeited tubes. Sorry, I don't know how to identify the counterfeits, I just have heard many reports of it. Maybe someone can give some identifying aspects that can ensure a real Amperex. | |
| Continuation of my Thread on VPI, Basis, Origin... Have no fear, RWD. This is nothing that hasn't happened to a million people before you. It's just that alot of things change when you decide to start using lower compliance cartidges.Medium and higher compliance cartridges will get along with just... | |
| Riddle me this... Trelja, a very eloquent post! I enjoyed it thoroughly. |
