| Where's the love for my RP-10 and Apheta 2? I recently upgraded from an older VPI with unipivot to the RP-10/Apheta 2 combo. What's not to like? The first thing that struck me, never having seen the table, was the cheapy-cheap appearance. I mean. it looks like a fancied up $800 table wit... | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important Raul may be abrasive, insistent and condescending at times but I have never seen an intentional personal attack from him. | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? louisl,You said "Also, isn’t acoustic feedback the same as rumble. If not, what’s the difference?"I’ve always thought of rumble as something audible or inaudible (pumping) with the volume turned up, the table spinning with the needle down and no m... | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? louisl,Have you inspected and lubricated the main bearing lately? My HW-19 MK IV had no audible rumble at any volume. The Technics in stock form may be more immune to feedback. Could it be that you are referring to acoustic feedback as rumble? ... | |
| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 fsmithjack,Since the P8 dust cover doesn’t cover the arm, there is no interference problem with the counterweight and dustcover when the arm base is shimmed. Get a shim kit made for your table and loosen 3 screws. Grab a clear block type alignment... | |
| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 I’ve ordered the Herron for my Rega RP10 and Apheta 2 combo. I’ll post up a first impression when it arrives, compared to my well broken in ARC PH7, and maybe a follow up in a few months when the Herron has stabilized. | |
| Two Protractors - Only One Aligns peter s,You said; "But shouldn't the alignment lines be parallel to the grooves if they occur at null points? This makes the cantilever parallel to the grooves."Yes. It's the grooves that are not parallel to each other at the two null points. A... | |
| Two Protractors - Only One Aligns peter s,You said; "By definition, the null points are the two points where the cantilever is tangent to the record groove, and this is not effected by the "curvedness" (or flatness) of the arc." As I stated, the null point distance from the record... | |
| Two Protractors - Only One Aligns peter s,Sorry, I found your OP a bit confusing, I thought your Mint was made for 250 mm. Never-the-less, the Mint arc is specific to the P2S. A Mint arc for 290 P2S will have a flatter arc than one for 250. The null points have the same distance f... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Has anyone here compare a Herron to an ARC PH7? Mine is getting long in the tooth and if the Herron compares or exceeds I would love the added flexibility. | |
| Two Protractors - Only One Aligns peter s,The arc on your Mint has a radius that works only at 250 mm P2S. Both null points cannot be aligned simultaneously with ANY error in the P2S. I chased a sibilance problem for a year before realizing this (original VPI JMW 10 arm - spec ... | |
| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 fsmithjack,I did the same and for the same reasons a few months back when I ditched my VPI unipivot and went for the RP-10/Apheta 2 combo. No regrets. | |
| If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you. Ooops!The 1995 85 dB Model 50 has been replaced with the 101 dB Jamaica ... https://www.nsmt-loudspeakers.com | |
| Seeking advice on possible VPI turntable upgrade "I have to force myself to stop listening in the evenings so I can get some sleep!"Don't chase your tail. Every time I've replaced a component with a superior one there has always been a trade off. You may lose something fun about the old piece. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I'm skeptical when I hear a cartridge is aligned perfectly in all parameters. I read this post as azimuth parallel to the record, mid VTF, VTA is admittedly off and, since no break-in is mentioned, a used - maybe very used - lower end cart. The... |
