| What was your latest LP find?? Just arriving in the mail yesterday was a ming Japanese pressing of Weather Report "Heavy Weather". Absolutely sublime. I used to have the SACD and a player, but both are now sold. This vinyl copy makes the Digital version sound like low-fi. Also ... | |
| Odeon Horn Speakers? Yes, there are a few threads on this in the archives, if you look under Odeon. There are also some comments about not using them with Krell. This is a speaker for triodes. | |
| WHat about four speakers....... This is nothing new. There was Quad(4 channel) in the 1970's. There was rear speaker setups like the Hafler circuit for rear ambience sound. There were rear digital and analog delay units. It was all crap. | |
| What's the best add lib ..: guidelines proposed I agree. I often want to give advice on a cartridge, and the doesn't say what arm he has, or what his phono stage is. This makes it nearly impossible to give a decent recommendation. Same with all the other stuff too.I would think that people aski... | |
| Turntable/Cartridge/Phono Stage questions All the B&O Carts are moving magnet units. They are also very hard to come by now, since they haven't been made for years. Good luck replacing it, since no other cartridge will fit on the tonearm. I worked at an audio dealer who carried B&... | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? I'm not married. I have speakers 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide each, placed way out into the living room. I have no TV. My listening chair is placed right in the sweet spot with no regard for "fitting into a decor". I have room lenses positioned whe... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? This spring, I tried to convince myself that I could listen to CD/SACD as my only source. That was a stupid waste of money and time. I actually knew better, since for years I had been analog only. But I had sold all my gear and albums a few years ... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? Since I offed the CD player, TT 100%. No CD, no FM, no Tape. Strictly vinyl. Couldn't be happier. | |
| Linn or VPI Here I am. I have owned a Linn and liked it very much. However, I am a factory trained Linn set-up guy, so I didn't have to worry so much about set-up and periodic adjustements. Even though the EKOS is an old design, it is still very competitive w... | |
| Expressimo heavyweight endorsement I also found great benefit to the Heavyweight on my OL arm. | |
| What tube amps for the Quad ELS 63 At one time, Stereophile named the David Berning EA230 as the most perfect amplifier for the Quad ESL-63. | |
| Turbo power supply for Oracle turntable Ethan, I don't know about the Turbo controller for the Oracle. Generally, that kind of thing is a good addition. There are others available, like Bob said above, and the Walker Motor Controller is another one to consider. Another option would be t... | |
| systemdek, sumiko arm, ??? cartridge The Profile arm is the one that came fitted to the TT. It was a package system. The arm is from Japan, and may be a Sumiko. I don't know what the cartridge is.The first thing you should do is either inspect the cartridge or replace it. A Goldring ... | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge Hdm, I couldn't find the effective mass spec for the FT3 tonearm, so I can't say for certain. My guess is, that if it is one of the older curved arms, it will be okay. I am not sure if the bearings will be up to the DL103, but if you feel no play,... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Glad you guys are enjoying the mod. I emailed Basement and suggested a VTA change to restore the tonal balance. With the added authority of the bass info provided with the HiFi mod, it is concievable that a VTA change could be in order. I speculat... |
