| Periphery Record Rings I've had some correspondence with Larry, the seller of the rings in the link I posted originally. He does address the possibility of the ring being non-concentric as follows (I hope he doesn't mind my posting this information, but it does help exp... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord "My only complaint is some bite on midrange forward instruments like some horns and piano on SOME recordings. Do you feel the Kaplans would be a good choice to tame this effect?"All I can tell you is what the Kaplan cords did for my system. As oth... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Sorry, I might have read your post too quickly, but what I heard was that you want to keep the resolution you have and add a tad bit more warmth to the sound. Not necessarily a softening of the top end as much as a cleansing of the top end and per... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord You may want to try the new Kaplan power cord:http://www.tweekgeek.com/_e/Kaplan_Cables/product/KaplanHECord/Kaplan_Cables_H_E_Power_Cord.htmIt replaced everything in my system with great results.Bob | |
| Periphery Record Rings Here's some thoughts from another source that I have queried on this topic:"I think the only way to go is with a matched fit with 3 point engagement on the outside diameter of the platter so you don't give up concentricity and minimize resonance t... | |
| Periphery Record Rings That's my initial thought Spence. The primary issue with my rig is nasty subsonic effects. I think a periphery ring would help with that more than a heavier platter, as much as it would be a PITA (not the bread).I'm mostly wondering about the qual... | |

| Two part question about modern and good looking Table designs tend to fall into about 3 or 4 categories:- industrial (i.e. Oracle)- wood/old fashioned (SOTA)- eye candy (Clearaudio)- form following function (VPI)All have their good and bad design points, and a certain way of approaching the sam... | |
| Fremer/SSM w/Rim Drive If you have an SDS or other speed controller available to you, you should try using a string drive. Get some non-stretch Rayon or silk thread, adjust the speed, and you will not need to look at the rim drive option again.Bob | |
| VPI Scout "tweaks" Why not upgrade the 10x5 to a Karat with that $1000? I think you'd get more bang for the buck that way.Bob | |
| "Already Free" - Derek Trucks Band Although this new DT album is pretty good, both my wife and I prefer tha last one "Songlines" overall. I think it's the variety on that one that just hits a chord.Plus his playing on the new one seems a bit aimless, even though the songs themselve... | |
| Sandbox-style isolation Here's my set uf sandboxes, built into the stand (nothing like mass for a TT):http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/i/f/1155818474.jpgI still found that putting squash balls under the TT, even though it is sitting on a sandbox, to be very beneficial.http:... | |
| Do amps sound better when left on for 30 minutes ? Most every piece of equipment benefits from some warm up time. Generally, turning them on is OK, but it might take a little longer to warm up than if it was pumping some music through it, even if that music is playing at low volume. |
