| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Hi Damian, while the unequal weights may possibly effect a change in anti-skating, it is not recommended to do that. It has other effects too, which might include affecting the azimuth, causing unequal bearing loading, among other things. If you n... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session I prefer the "old school". A vintage pre-Piaggio Bianchi Superleggera with Columbus tubing, hand-carved lugs and dropouts, and the beautiful old Campy Super Record gruppo. On silk tubulars, of course. What a ride! | |
| Origin/Rega VTA adjuster? I also leave the washer off. | |
| Teres Owners Please Help Hi Abe. Yes, some people are using the ET arms with Teres TTs. I have heard only favorable comments about the synergy. | |
| My opinions re. SET and pp triode I agree that really good transformers are very important, and that is why I made the comment I did earlier. I don't use any output transformers, but it is true that the sound can be extremely good when you use excellent output transformers, as men... | |
| Low watt system for rock,electronica? I listen to rock, pop, and electronica alot on my system. It only has 2 watts from a SET 45 amp, and single driver speakers. Maybe it might not be loud enough for some people, but it is plenty loud enough for me, and most of my friends who hear it... | |
| Origin/Rega VTA adjuster? You must file the hole open to allow the adjuster to turn easily, but to not be a "sloppy" fit. I filed mine a little at a time with a round file, and kept trying the fit of the adjuster as I went along, so that I didn't file away too much from th... | |
| NOn Audiophile Review of the Teres 160 I'm very pleased to hear that you are enjoying your new table. Congratulations! | |
| Best SET amp with Coincident Total Victory? I know one person using the Antique Sound Labs AQ1009 SET amps using 845's, and he is very impressed with the sound. He has used many amps with various Coincident speakers, so he has a fairly wide range of experience with these speakers.Probably t... | |
| Poor sound from Rega Planar 3 It could be the cartridge(worn out), or it could be the VTA adjustment. If you don't know how old or how much wear is on the cartridge, you need to have someone with experience evaluate it. Do this before playing any more records, since a damaged ... | |
| My new Well Tempered and opinions as to Isolation I agree with Carl. The Dynavectors are very good for the under $1k market, and the 17D2 Karat has been described as a "poor man's ZYX Fuji". Only $750 retail.Perhaps that may float your boat.Also, there is a new Lyra Argo out there that I haven't ... | |
| turntable location problem If you can put it on a dedicated stand, that would be better, in my opinion. A 4 foot length of cable is quite fine, and would be a good choice to have that amount of cable and a dedicated stand.The TT is entry level, but it will serve the purpose... | |
| Cartridge too heavy for tonearm counterweight... When you buy a counterweight for an OL arm or an OL modded Rega arm, you must specify that it is an OL end-stub on the arm. Otherwise, you already know what happens.If you must add weight to the counterweight, add it at the bottom. This will help ... | |
| Bypassing pre in Audio Note Soro SE Phono Joe, most Tape Out jacks provide a very direct connection to the source, usually bypassing the volume controls. If you select Phono and use the Tape Out jacks, I'm sure you will get a very clean signal. | |
| My opinions re. SET and pp triode The bass and treble rolloff is related to the output transformers, and are not specific to the triodes. My Berning SET ZOTL has no bass or treble problems,it's pure "midrange magic" from top to bottom. It has no output transformers. However, my sp... |
