| Power cord? Why? I went to your first link, and found no superconductors that operate over 140-160 degrees Kelvin, even under high pressure. Room temp is 295 Kelvin. Another of your links, Futurescience.com has superconductor kits that state this:"All superconduct... | |
| VPI JMW9 Tonearm setup questions Your statement, "balancing on the sharp pivot point of the lower bearing, but it is otherwise not secure in any respect", is quite accurate. That is the way unipivots operate. | |
| Possibly The Best Kept Secret In Turntables? Eeerie, there are knowledgeable people on this website who will help you with the setup, if you need it.Buscis2, nice post. | |
| Power cord? Why? A web search shows no current technology that supports room temperature superconductors, even in lab conditions. Maybe you should take a few thousand feet of it to New Jersey and save them the cooling bill. | |
| Turntable - Where do I start ? $2k - $3k is a pretty good range for variety of good tables. You can get a Teres, VPI Scout, Nottingham, Origin Live, Basis, Clearuadio, Rega, Music Hall, etc. There are proponents of all of these tables. They will all give good results. The facto... | |
| Ok, so I mounted the Shelter yesterday........ Give it some time to break in. It is sort of quirky on break in, and goes through stages. I had the opposite effect. On my system, it was a little boomy at first.Also, the VTA needs to be dialed-in correctly. Let it break in for awhile, and if it ... | |
| Turntable/Arm in $1500-2000 Range I think that this is all a little too much, and to the extent that I had a part in it, I apologize. My desire is to have everyone enjoy their turntables, and not to cause alot of strife. I can't comment on the Aurora, because I've never heard it. ... | |
| Looking to get TT For the record, I was not targeting 4yanx with my comments about "sticking together". I was referring to the other thread where there were some strong words exchanged about the comparison between the Nottinghams and the Aurora. I felt it was bette... | |
| Looking to get TT Ron, the Schoolboys album is Jap RCA RLP-2127 with the butterscotch color RCA label. I bought it new in the very early 1980s from a Japanese record vendor YSL. It has the obi and all the inserts.How about this one? A Japanese Steely Dan "Can't Buy... | |
| MC Cartridge upgrade from Grado reference? The Koetsu cartridges have a certain charm to their sound that puts them in a category by themselves. They are very good cartridges, and some people will only want the sound of a Koetsu. Others feel differently. They are expensive, and you have to... | |
| Best small speaker I always thought that the older Linn Kans were a real nice sounding small speaker. I owned a pair for almost 10 years, and people always remarked about how "big" the sound was for such a small speaker. And they can sit right against the wall, out ... | |
| Looking to get TT No "script following" proposed by me. | |
| Looking to get TT It is refreshing to argue about records instead of gear for a change. How about let's us analog guys stick together. We are a smaller group than the digital brigade, so we have to represent ourselves in a way that will make people want to come abo... | |
| Whats the Difference SME 3009 S/2 vs 3009 Improved In the early Series 2, there was a slightly shorter spindle-to-pivot distance, than the later Series 2. There also appear to be some minor changes in counterweight and some small parts. I don't know which parts may be interchangeable. Series 2 Imp... | |
| Looking to get TT Ron, I have the Kinks "Schoolboys in Disgrace" on Japanese also. I agree that it is my favorite Kinks album. Side 2 just knocks me out!I don't have the DCC Aqualung. I don't have any vertigo swirls either.Guess I'd better start getting with the pr... |
