| Review: ZYX Airy2 and Airy3 Cartridge Hi Loon,You didn't enlighten us why after the tyranical ranting and raving of the Airy 3 you stepped up to another cartridge. Well, if you like a designer's work don't you want to hear what he can do when he's not restricted a price point? The A2 ... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm No argument that arms at these price points should not suffer obvious compromises. Obviously we agree about the ones the TriPlanar has. We decided to deal with them and so far that's working out well. You decided to change to the 2.2, which we've ... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Patrick and I have become good (internet) friends in the past several months. He once sent me a whole carton of LP's without expecting a penny, just because he thought I'd enjoy them. (I have, and of course I sent him a few pennies!)He and I have ... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm I spoke with the new owner of Wheaton at HE2004 and while I was trying to compliment his product I,at the same time told him of my concerns about the play in the vta scale as well as the fact that dialing in an EXACT tracking force required a "HUN... | |
| Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm On my Tri-Planar there IS play in the threads of the VTA tower. This is easy to overcome however. Once you've decided where on the scale you want to be, always approach that setting by moving the arm UP to it. This way gravity and the resistance o... | |
| To Loricraft users Hi Cmk,Your experience beats my theory any day. I'll try lighter VTF myself, thanks. Hmmm, I wonder if -.5g would work!The glass jar I got was like the ones used for canning tomatoes and fruit. I'll wager you could find one of those for next to no... | |
| To Loricraft users a) Mine came with a glass bottle. I'd contact Smart Developments and tell them you're not happy with this "upgrade".b) I've tried both ways. It made no difference that I could tell. All the arm is doing is vacuuming. It's not cleaning in the sense... | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? I used to have an HK/Rabco ST-8 on top of a shaky wood cabinet, all on a suspended wood floor. The TT had a rudimentary suspension (putting it kindly) and would skip any time someone moved a teacup, never mind kids bouncing around.Big fat Sorbogel... | |
| Best tool for cartridge alignment? The first question to ask is, what kind of alignment would you like to achieve. Baerwald? Loefgren? Rega? Most people prefer the Baerwald two-point alignment, which produces the lowest distortion across the whole side. Unfortunately it may not be ... | |
| Most powerful fluid for record cleaning machine ? On our PRC-3 we use:1. Micro-Care Premier + Loricraft brush2. RRL Deep Cleaner + DD brush (very important)3. RRL Vinyl Wash + DD brush #2Play and inspect sonics and stylus for evidence of cleanliness or otherwise. If additional cleaning is indicat... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Anybody notice how Raul's English improved about an order of magnitude in that last post? Interesting...Indeed. One wonders who actually wrote it. Is some SS amp builder ghosting for Raul? | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Gregadd, Excellent and well-argued post, at least when I read it through my many-colored glasses. ;-)Suttlaw, Glad to hear the Airy2 is breaking in well. The choice between it and the Airy3 really is a matter of system synegy and taste. If it give... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. If you are serious about invest 3,400.00 on a phono cable, my advise is that put that money on a better phono preamp or better cartridge/tonearm combo or a subwoofer, before you change that cable.I agree with Raul. The phono cable can't play what ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Should it break, I will replace it for free(it happened once during shipping and the only other incident involved a parrot...)I have no more problems with parrots. The two cats took of them!Doug (Schroeder admirer with no liklihood of buying any t... | |
| Super Scoutmaster or Teres? Edle,Good advice, but they both have freestanding motors. ;-)Readster,What differences lead you to prefer the SS to the 245/255? Can you elaborate? |
