What is up with the 90-X verses the Titan? Don't know, Joe. They are both so new, that I haven't gotten an ear on either one. Neither has anyone else I know.Maybe somebody else has some input.The word on the 90-X is that it is supposed to exceed the 901, but by a smaller margin than the di... | |
Ringmat shims for VTA? It's going to change the impedance coupling of the record to the platter. Some may never notice it, some will.For your situation, Doug, I think that it is pretty easy to get to the lock nut under the armboard, to make the adjustment. This nut shou... | |
Help with cartridge loading. . . Hi Doug, I was going to mention the transformer loading thing, but I didn't want to confuse him, since he's not using one.Since you ask, and I'm not an electronics engineer, I'll offer my opinion as to why the transformer loading is less than the ... | |
Why Does A Concrete Floor/Spiked Metal Rack... Unhalfbricking, sorry I made you go through the trouble of that. I really expected it to help. Perhaps there are some other issues that we're not aware of. | |
Help with cartridge loading. . . This is a cartridge with a very low internal impedance, and the specs recommend a load of greater than 10 ohms. This means that you'll probably be using the lowest setting on your Pass phono stage, whatever that lowest setting is. Don't go below 1... | |
Arm and cart for Spacedeck Ozzy62 has been down this road a few times, as he stated in his post. Anybody that has tried 5 arms on the Spacedeck has alot of credibility for their opinion. I'd seriously listen to his recommendations. They come from experience. | |
Review: Vestax Handy Trax Turntable Nice review, and cool idea to be able to listen to records at flea markets before you buy.Just one question.Does Kevin have a silicone damping trough for this model yet? Just kidding. :^) | |
mmf 2.1 Noise Check your "stylus rake angle". This is the angle at which the stylus is actually contacting the record groove. If you back-light your stylus, you should be able to see the little diamond shaft that is on the tip of the cantilever. This should be ... | |
VTA - High, Low, Where You go? Here is a post that I got from another website, which is written by Jon Risch. It seems to be very informative about this subject.SRA vs. VTAEnough is enough! Here is a summary of the differences between SRA and VTA.VTA or vertical tracking angle ... | |
VTA - High, Low, Where You go? Hi David. The answer depends on the cartridge being used. Some like positive VTA(ass-end up) and some like negative VTA(ass-end down)I have found that the Denon DL103 series, the older Linn cartridges like the Asak, Trak, and Karma, and many of th... | |
Turntable stands Sayas, I think you are on the right track with the "rock solid" comment. However, we are really talking about rigidity there, and a nicely welded-up frame stand can be very rigid.The reasoning comes from the way the stand interacts with the suspen... | |
Turntable stands In my opinion, turntables like the Sota and the AR, as well as other suspended subchassis turntables like Linn, Ariston and the like, will work best on a rigid, lightweight stand that is relatively low to the floor. Like about 24".There used to be... | |
Where do you draw the line??? Believe me, if I had $30k available for audio, I'd sure be able to spend it in a hurry! I didn't stop at $10k, oh alright, now it's $13k, because I wanted to. I did it because I ran out of money. Walker Proscenium and Aesthetix IO and Loth-X Bards... | |
Turntable stands For what turntable?Stand needs vary depending on the design of the TT. | |
Hyperbole Watchdog Forum If you search through my archived posts, you'll probably find alot to laugh about. I've done it. I think most of us do at some point or other. When you get excited about a product or new purchase, you just say stuff like that.You have to read betw... |
