| Raven One Owners - Last Table? Kenny,I took a leap of faith and bought a R1 unheard and at the time unreviewed. There is a local VPI dealer in my hometown. I had an LP12 for 16 years because it had a reliable and extensive dealer network as does VPI. So i hold onto my equipment... | |
| TW Acustic Raven One owners I can't really remember how many tries it took but once you get it, it's easy. Line it up on a post it note and diagonally splice it, then use non stretchy tape. (I just use clear scotch tape that it thicker than normal). The key is to cut it exac... | |
| TW Acustic Raven One owners I got it off ebay. Don't remember the seller but I have a lifetime's supply for less than $30 shipped from the UK. I used Doug Deacon's method if you search this forum but I use clear instead of metalic. Didn't want to mess with etching acid. Also... | |
| TW Acustic Raven One owners One of my biggest improvements was something quite inexpensive. I replaced the stock rubber belt with 1/4" mylar. The speed stability results in much purer tone.I use a Phantom arm with great results. | |
| phonocable for dynavector xv-1s I just got my Din-XLR Furutech Ag-12 today. I use an Aqvox 2CII as well but a Dynavector XX-2 MkII not an XV-1S. So it's similar but not exact. I have a Cardas Golden Cross for reference. So far the AG-12 is quieter and has a bit more resolution. ... | |
| Are Dust Covers a MUST intuitively i would think the dust cover acts like a microphone and receives air borne vibrations. it would requite some pretty fancy vibrational analysis to design a dust cover that attenuates or drains vibration. which is in itself a tricky subj... | |
| phonocable for dynavector xv-1s to operate your aqvox to it full potential in current mode, you will need xlr on the phono preamp side. so you might need some sort of custom termination. i just ordered a custom furutech din/xlr ag-12 myself. i don't have it yet tho. | |
| Would a Dynavector XX2 MkII be good upgrade? an XX-2 has a 6mm cantilver length. the 17D3 only 1.7 mm. | |
| Would a Dynavector XX2 MkII be good upgrade? The XX-2 is easier to set up than the stubby 17D3. The cantilever is longer. You sort of have to guess that the cartidge body is aligned with the cantilever on the 17D3. You can even download a protractor from vinyl engine. Just don't print to sca... | |
| From LP12 to where...? i had an lp12 for 17 years. upgraded the bearing to cirkus, upgraded the power supply valhalla to lingo, upgraded the arm from basik to ekos. i even learned to tune the bounce myself. once i heard the cost of the keel, i gave up supporting it. i b... | |
| Graham Phantom Armwand if one had a late 2008 phantom i and got the titanium arm tube would be equivalent to the phantom ii? | |
| Graham Phantom - Armrest Setup it's the same hex as the one to loosen VTA. | |
| VPI RCM Vacuum Wand Velvet Strips I guess it all boils down to how much your time is worth to you. From a turn key solution, a replacement tube is pretty unfussy at $25. At today's cost of new vinyl, it doesn't seem too high to me. But I see your POV from a green inititative. Some... | |
| Soundsmith "The Voice"? There is a stereomojo review recently posted. It's an admirable performer. I am fascintaed by the design but it is not compatible with my phono stage. Frank Shroeder was so taken by the design that he built a special low mass bamboo arm for its un... | |
| Own a TW-Acustic Raven One? i would think most listeners have to take a leap of faith with tw tables since there is no local dealer unless you live in ny or know a tw owner nearby. i can assure you though that if you want a robust, dense, visceral presentation with powerful ... |
