| More turntable set up problems Try loosening the screw on the top of the anti-skate mechanism. I have a DP8 and had a similar problem, and the problem was that the anti-skate mechanism was binding, even when I thought I had "defeated" it. Loosening the screw and re-adjusting th... | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? I have owned both Divas and Full Ranges modified and re-conditioned by TSW. The Divas were originally bi-amped, and then, at Rich's suggestion, I used his passive crossover and single amped them--he was right, they were better that way. I used bot... | |
| Anyone heard of Silvercore SUT:s I only used the Cole with the Silvercore SUTs, so my experience may not be representative. I went from a Messenger to a Zanden (or maybe vice versa) and then an FM Acoustics 122 to the Cole and do not feel that I enjoyed music any less with the Co... | |
| Anyone heard of Silvercore SUT:s I don't know if you could still get them without the case or not--he has an American distributor, oswaldmills, I think, who might be able to helpI have no experience with the 1:10 | |
| Anyone heard of Silvercore SUT:s I'm using the MC Pro, but "naked"--first I used it as the stepup in an LCR Cole, and it has been sent to JC Morrison for use in a phono stage of his own design that I hope to receive soon. Prior to that I used the Silvercore MC in conjunction with... | |
| Anyone heard of Silvercore SUT:s At the recommendation of a friend who designs amps and preamps, I bought the Silvercore mc and then upgraded to the Silvercore pros. I guess that means I think they're good--I was primarily using them with an Ortfon 90th Anniversary SPU and Ortofo... | |
| Re-starting with Room Treatments? Thank you for the advice so far. I thought I should add that I double checked the RPG web site and what I have are the Hemiffusors, which are pure diffusors with little absorption. The previous speakers I have had in place, in order , were Wisdom ... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? I own the Brinkmann, (actually, I have a LaGrange, because I wanted two arms--I previously had the Balance) and owned the Basis (and an SME 30, Rockport Capella, and some others). I've kept the Brinkmann for 3 years now, and have no intention of c... | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons Do you prefer the lagrange to the balanceThe LaGrange and Balance are slightly different, but I got the LaGrange because I wanted to run two arms. I am not unhappy with my decision | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons I have the Brinkmann LaGrange and Brinkmann arm and have listened to numerous cartridges with it, including the Brinkmann EMT, the Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum, and Van den Hul Colibri. (I also used the arm and cartridge with a Brinkmann Bal... | |
| tonearm cable recomendations for Brinkmann? I use the lagrange and brinkmann cartridge and prefer the Nordost quatrofil tonearm cable. I've tried a few (can't remember all the names) but the last before the Nordost was the Audience Au24. I felt that the Nordost passed more information, with... | |
| BWS Tube equipment? Their line stage was compared, over a long period of time, to the Wyetech Opal, Hovland, Jadis JP 200, Counterpoint SA 11, Audio Research Ref I and some solid state preamps (Klyne, Rowland) and preferred in every instance. I am completely satisfie... | |
| If you could have 2 turntables... I have a Rockport Capella and a Versa Dynamics 2.3, the latter modified by Bear labs. They're different, one is not better than the other (either is better than anything else I've owned, including Basis Debut Vacuum, SME 30/2 (probably because I p... | |
