| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. In most turntables like Teres, Redpoint, Galibier, the materials chosen are the preferences of the designers/owners of the company. These choices are typically made by comparative listening to the TT, using the different things, and choosing what ... | |
| Equipment Set-up Recommendations? Gregadd, suspensions often do not fix the "bouncing" issue, but often make it worse.My Linn LP12 that I had for years, always had a very noticeable "bouncing" when I walked around the room.(Yes, it was set-up correctly).My unsuspended table never ... | |
| Equipment Set-up Recommendations? If it doesn't happen with your other arm, then there is something with the MG-1 which is different.Perhaps you have the tracking force set a bit too light?Perhaps the arm bearing is not quite level?Air pressure not right?Check your set up.Air bear... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Raul, I have no aversion to auditioning a Final Tool, or any other turntable. I like to audition equipment, and can be pretty objective about it, regardless of what equipment that I currently own.I'd audition a Final Tool in a heartbeat, as soon a... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Well, I am not sure exactly how to respond about this "uninvolving" thing aimed at the Teres turntables.I was a Linn LP12 owner for many years, and also worked in high-end analog stores where many of the turntables mentioned(Rega, Well-Tempered, L... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? My question would be, if you can't tell what it sounds like when you listen to it, then how else could you tell?We already know that no stereo system, no matter how good, actually reproduces the live event totally. Nor is there any recording sytem... | |
| Basis and table mats? If you like the dental floss belt, try mylar tape, like VHS tape spliced to the correct loop length.The Teres owners group have been down this road with the various belt types, and have tried the rubber, dental floss(silk cord), etc, and at presen... | |
| Cartridge comparison cont. They are both very nice cartridges.The Shelter 501 is often referred to as "the poor man's Koetsu".The Dynavector Karat 17D2 is often referred to as "the poor man's ZYX Fuji.Not bad company.Basically, I think the issue is more of a matching condit... | |
| Amplified Vs Unamplified The benchmark of using live unamplified music for determining audio system accuracy was based on being able to make a direct comparison with a known live sound.The idea being that if the system can reasonably accurately reproduce these known live ... | |
| Amazing ?? You don't need much power, and a simple SET amp with less than 10 watts would do nicely.Tubes generally sound better than SS on these types of speakers. Low power generally does better than high power too, in these types of systems.I use a 2 watt ... | |
| What is a good polish for black acrylic? I've used Plexus for years on my clear plastic motorcycle fairing windshields and my clear face shields on my helmet.Works very well, and is quick and easy.Gives perfectly optically clear results. | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Just imagine if Romy the Cat and Raul were both posting on the same thread!I don't think I could wrap my brain around that thought! | |
| Amazing ?? You've discovered single-driver loudspeakers!Loth-X makes some very nice monitors and floorstanders, using single-driver elements.There are several other brands, and DIY projects that you can choose from, too.There are some things that single-driv... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. No "option" key on my keyboard. | |
| H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP As attractive as it is to want to "have it all", there is no such thing. All designs are compromised in some way or other, depending upon their primary goals.In the end, it is always a "trade-off" of something for another. There is no perfect amp ... |
