| What isolation used between shelves and Turntable? I personally believe that there should be no isolation whatsoever. The TT should be direct coupled to the floor by the rigid legs of the stand. | |
| Review: KAB SL-1200 Fluid Damper Tweak Hi, Zaikesman, nice review. The mod sounds to me like a good improvement, and from your description, sounds like it had alot of effect on reducing arm vibrations, which I guess is one of the main goals for it. From our previous discussions, I woul... | |
| Best Tube integrated under 2000 Manley Stingray if you like EL84's, but roll out the stock Jan Phillips 12AT7's for some Mullard 6201's, to eliminate the tube glare. It lists for $2250, but can be gotten for $1995. Also, it is a very cool looking amp. | |
| Benefits of Bi-Amping high-powered amps? Obviously you don't have a power problem issue, but bi-amping can provide other benefits. The advantage of using an electronic crossover, and eliminating the passive ones, can have a real sonic benefit. Also, vertical bi-amping provides true dual-... | |
| Arm suggestions for my Basis 1400 What Viridian said. | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning Ken, I am doing just that. I have a pair of Lowther EX3's in modified Voigt Pipes(100db), and I have a special order cutom amp coming from David Berning. It will be a battery powered, choke-loaded, SET ZOTL, with type 45 output tubes, and 2 watts ... | |
| How old is this turntable? Oracle Delphi Mk -1 Could be about 20 years old. Not really any older than that. It is a good TT that was in about the same catergory as a Linn LP-12 sonically. One of the best TT's of that time frame. I'm sure that it would still be enjoyable today in good condition. | |
| Good moving magnet or cheap moving coil What kind of arm is on the Linn? If it is an Ekos or Ittok, you can use a Denon DL103 MC cart(low output) that will blow the BPS out of the water. If you have some other arm, then the Dynavector 10x4 MkII is a very good high output MC that will wo... | |
| Woofer pumping - what gives? Mwilson, could a "wubba-wubba feedback loop" also be termed a "dubba wubba-wubba"? | |
| Rega vs. Moth? From everything I have heard, the Moth and Rega arms are identical on a model for model basis. Rega supplies OEM arms to many of the other TT makers as well.Regarding the arm upgrade to your P3, are you considering an RB 900, as it sounds like in ... | |
| Why vinyl? I was the happiest person in the world this week when I sold my CD player. Now I can only play vinyl. And that's all I want to play, because when I put my CD player on, it sounded like it was broken in comparison to my TT. I will never buy another... | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning Hey Tubegroover, Nice Tubes! I just thought that I would pass along my "glare" info. I don't have a 270, so I was sort of just "extrapolating" the PP Microzotl circuit to the PP zh270 circuit. However, I did get a much better midrange smoothness w... | |
| NOS Tubes make a Huge difference My experience has been that JAN Phillips 12AT7's have glare. If you replace them with NOS Mullard 6201 Gold Pins, you should get even better sound. | |
| Leveling spikes for speakers If the spikes wobble, but there is a decent amount of threaded shaft left in the hole, you can stop the wobble by taking the spike out completely and adding a couple of flat washers that will take up the space. This will allow a snug tightening of... | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning If your ZH270 currently has the JAN Phillips 12AT7 tubes in it, I would try to change them to NOS Mullard 6201 Gold Pins($35 each from Upscale Audio). In my MicroZOTL these JAN Phillips 12AT7's were the primary cause of the tube glare. I just look... |
