| Best 2 channel CD/SACD player $2000 used? The new Sony SACD XA-5400ES is $1499 new. Kal Rubinson from Sterophile gave it a sneal preview in the May issue. Apparently takes redbook data and uses the SACD noise shaper to sample at 2.8 Ghz. Redbook performance is said to be stellar. Too bad ... | |
| Dynavector XX-2 MkII vs. Shelter 5000 i don't own a Shelter but do own an XX-2 MkII. I made the choice based on the stylus profile. All Shelters have an Elliptical profile but the XX-2 MkII has a Line Contact profile. There's obviously more to the design but I figure it all starts in ... | |
| Graham Phantom VTA Post Stuck success! i forgot to mention that when i first got the arm that it worked properly. i had to do a bit of both, take off my tonearm cable and gently nudge the post upwards plus it turns out that the hex underneath on the right was loose so tighteni... | |

| Raven One Motor Noise Problem Kenny,I damp my motor controller case with Soundcoat and added a layer of ERS paper. Quiets it down a bit and the sound seems a bit smoother. Have you tried changing your shelf material? I use a Black Diamond Racing Shelf for the Source mounted on... | |
| TTWeights perip ring/platter/clamp on my Raven One Nice Emailist. Can you post a close up where the ring meets the Graham arm cue? | |
| Grain/Distortion heard on Inner 1/4 of LP you will always get some arc distortion of some kind with a pivoted arm. what you are doing is trying to minimize it as much as possible. Once you print it out you will see that the Lofgren B grid is innermost. From your description, I think that ... | |
| Grain/Distortion heard on Inner 1/4 of LP I would start with 222mm as the pivot to spindle distance and Lofgren B since you have inner groove distortion and leave the rest as default. The arc is customized for your geometry. After this, I would work on VTA. You can fold a piece of fine gr... | |
| Grain/Distortion heard on Inner 1/4 of LP do you know the pivot to spindle distance of your tonearm? search for conrad hoffman alignment template generator. it's a custom program that will print out a protractor for your specific geometry. the guy is a genius. | |
| Which Pre Phono between Dynavector XX2 and AN M3 from my understanding the audionote m3 does not have balanced inputs. you are probabaly best served to find a single ended phono stage. why not the audionote m3 phono?btw, i am using the xx-2 mkii with the aqvox in balanced mode and couldn't be ha... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? I would think the umbiolical cord between speed controller and motor would make a bigger difference. After the power cord it goes through that honking transformer. | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? Thanks. Darn currency. | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? So Kenny, Just out of curiosity what is the 2009 list price of a Raven One? | |
| best cartridge for phono aqvox in current mode I would think almost any quality MC cartridge would be a great match. My best guess would be that lower impedance cartridges would be slightly superior as the circuit sees the MC cartridge as a near short electrically. But then aga... | |
| Raven One Owners - Last Table? I had one originally and upgraded to a Phantom. I would say it a competent entry level arm. The arm is made by Jelco. They are the Rega of Asia and oem for many manufacturers such as Koetsu, and Audioquest. If your goal is to have a temporary arm ... |
