| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Letch, granite slabs are a common platform for the Teres tables, and other high-mass unsuspended tables. I have heard mostly good reports about using granite as a base with these tables. I personally do not use granite under mine, but it would be ... | |
| Sorry - a couple more newbie analog questions Records which have been played alot on mass-market turntables, with possibly mistracking cartridges, can cause this high frequency distortion to be permanently on the records.If this practically never happens on a new LP, and only the older ones, ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Letch, the unsuspended turntables will generally do best with a rigid, solidly coupled stand. Any rubber or soft absorbers between the TT and the stand will be counterproductive, compared to one without any rubber or soft absorbers in it.This is w... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER I agree that there are problems to be overcome with the analog playback system, and also the recording of records.My take on this is that at least the analog system has the continuous waveforms recorded into it and can attempt to play them back, a... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER When the master is digital, the inherent advantages of the analog recording is not there, and therefore I see no advantage to the LP in that circumstance.The sound was already limited at the digital master stage, so it can't be made "better" later. | |
| Shelter 501 Installation The weight should not be needed with the OL Silver tonearm. | |
| Single ended Power amp recommendation I think that a David Berning Siegfried 300B Single-Ended ZOTL is an excellent SET amp with the advantages of OTL sonics and terrific impedance matching without an output transformer.They can be bought for under your stated budget, and would be one... | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible Check the review on 6moons website about the Harmonic Precision Caravelle monitors. | |
| sistrum vs neuance The best way to know is to try both and compare the results.Return the one you don't want. | |
| Loricraft vs. VPI 16.5 record cleaner The first cleaning machine I ever used was the Keith Monks machine, back in the early 80's. I've never seen another machine do as well. However, given the price differences, the VPI does an excellent job for the money and is probably a better choi... | |
| Replacement for Grace F9e A Goldring 1042 would be a nice MM choice, and a Dynavector 10x4 or 10x5 would be nice for high output MC. They are both reasonably priced. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path I had an Aurora Gold here for audition about a year ago. I used my own arm and cartridge on it, and also an Encounter arm, a Shelter 501, and a DL103R, and a Music Maker II.IMO, it did not even compare to my Teres in sound quality, or build qualit... | |
| Help with new Nottingham Spacedeck Sounds like you need to adjust the VTA. Lowering the back end slightly should reduce the thin bright effects you are describing. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar, when you get deep into turntable, tonearm, and cartridge design, there are many things that don't meet the eye. This is the job of the designer and manufacturer to make the best that they can at the price points they intend to sell the item... | |
| Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary? I totally agree with Lloyd on this point.However, it could be argued that the problems Lloyd has pointed out might be minimal with certain tonearm systems, and the trade-off may be considered by the user to be a worthwhile trade of convenience in ... |
