| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Brian, (Essentialaudio) the foundation will be the STABI XL TURNTABLE for the Kuzma Airline arm. Plan right now is test with Koetsu Jade Platinum Signature that is supposed to arrive Wednesday (this week). I don't think the table and arm are shipp... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Rum,In the very near future I will be able to tell you precisely how the big Kuzma turntable with air bearing arm sounds. We will be comparing it to a Walker Proscenium with Walker air bearing arm. The cartridge of choice for the test, a Koetsu Ja... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline I've owned the Versa Dynamics with it's air bearing linear track arm, two ET air bearing linear track arms (upgraded pumps), a Triplanar, 2 Graham's, an Air Tangent 10B, two Breuer Dynamic and multiple popular pivot arms such as the Decca, Dynavec... | |
| Tracking Force Gauges I'm confused by repeated comments about VTA. The platform on the Winds and this less expensive gauge from Singapore both have platforms that are about the same thickness of an LP.Are you guys leaving the LP on the platter and placing the gauge on ... | |
| New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker? I was thinking of a speaker that was reasonably priced and had great tonal balance. I admit I have never tried Maggie 1.6's in a room that small.One friend in my audio group has 1.6's in a spare room that's maybe 11 X 14 and they sound wonderful, ... | |
| Tracking Force Gauges I received my gauge from Singapore as well. I am completely satisfied with it's appearance and construction for the low sum of $95.00 delivered.Tomorrow night is music night, we plan on testing two or three different stylus force gauges, once the ... | |
| New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker? Maggie 1.6 will work in that space. They sound good and are reasonably priced too. | |
| shielding of interconnects: positive or negative Unless you have a RF or EMI problems an un-shielded cable frequently does sound better than shielded. What you need is a cable that manages to shield against those things without changing the sound adversely. They do exist, several audiophile bran... | |
| listening to music in the car I used to enjoy music in my car until I traded for a new model with factory installed "high end" Bose radio. I had no option, it was standard equipment on the vehicle.I much preferred the stock factory radio in my older vehicle (same make and mode... | |
| RCA cleaners Matt, the ones you describe The plastic is harder than I remember in the original cleaners. So, if I had to guess, I suspect the cleaner and dirt won't stick to them as they stuck to the originalThese (slicker), more recent plastic versions are th... | |
| breaking in audio components It depends on the equipment. Speakers such as Dynaudio Temptations, Dali Megalines, Kharma Exquisite and Sound Lab Ultimates all go through big changes with break in. Electronics vary by brand and design as do cables. | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? A friend and visitor to my music group just purchased the MinusK. It was a significant improvement over his Vibraplane. What I noticed was a blacker background (less apparent noise) and tighter, deeper bass. He was not unhappy with the Vibraplane'... | |
| IEC to a 2 prong-wire amp I use a Volt Ohm Meter and select continuity. Putting one lead on your power cords AC plug end and the other inside it's female IEC, you get a "beep" when you match up both ends. Make note of what goes where.Next test your household wall outlets. ... | |
| how can a line cord affect frequency response ? Finally this thread makes sense. Thank you Tvad and Audiofeil ! | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Jeff_Jones. On that point I agree, appearance is absolutely important. Sound at shows (any audio show) is typically not very good. Equipment just survived the long trip, the room is cramped and often still has the bed headboard attached to the wal... |
