| Help me decide Revel or Focal The revels are very good. Very easy room placement. I have lived with mine in two entirely different rooms with no placement issues. If you want a more dynamic speaker, try the Magico S3. A bit more expensive but a portless design and quite good t... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? I haven't waded through all the replies to your hum problem but do you have the grounding wire from your tonearm to your preamp in use? | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Moonglum,Don't you put the weight on before you drop the needle? | |
| record weight .... correct weight? I have responded recently to a more general question about record weights and what they do in general. Yes, your question is spot on. Weights on most tables reduce left/right sound stage and increase depth of stage. This can be a positive or a neg... | |
| Amari ultrasonic automatic RCM If you are willing to spend about $1500.00 and you want the results of ultrasonic cleaning I would recommend the V8. It cleans 8 records at a time and is as simple to use as anything out there. Made in America too. I don't own it but I know people... | |
| Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight Hi Dinster,I have spent a lot of time with various record weights. My finding is the same as yours having nothing to do with materials used or brand. I have found that weights in general shift the frequency band down a bit. So weights tend to dull... | |
| looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar I have the newer version Tri P and I can't speak to sound differences over earlier models but adjustment screws and the ability to hold adjustment seem tighter than previous models I've seen. | |
| Most suitable and effective isolation platform Iaxelrod,I'm sure you know that SRA is the preferred platform for TW? Jeff Catalano of High Water Sound is a dealer for SRA and TW. You should contact him. I'm sure HRS would work well too. I have a Raven AC and use a symposium Acoustic Quantum. I... | |
| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer A friend and I heard the next potential generation of these at Newport in a Beta Test presented by Ted. Yes, they make an audible difference and you will prefer one over the other in your system. However, the one thing I was unable to determine du... | |
| Shunyata Venom vs Alpha` Valinar,Just purchased my first Zitron Alpha in 7 years. Previously used Helix series. Astounding increase in resolution. Not bright or edgy in any way. I am also using the new Venom on my headphone amp and no edge there. | |
| Revel Ultima Studio 2?? Hi Scott,I have owned the first generation Revel Studios since 1999. I agree with the previous comments made by fellow Goners. The Revels are very resolving and will not reveal their full glory without good wires and electronics. You needn't spend... | |
| Vinyl Record Cafe's I completely agree with you Oregonpapa. Tubes and a good "original" mono pressing knock a newbies socks off every time. | |
| Classical Record Labels and Recording Engineers... Rush,I don't see anyone mentioning Harmonia Mundi here or London Phase 4. Fabulous transparency on the HMs not to mention stellar performances of baroque and Renaissance music. The Phase 4s are spotty but the ones that work are like a party. Perha... | |
| IS AUDIO ART CABLES THE REAL THING I own their best AC cord and ICs. Very good but the power cord is excellent. If you want to get quite a bit more from them get them cryogenically treated. Makes quite a big and positive difference. | |
| Cartridges and old man Actually Stringreen hit on a very interesting topic with regard to high end audio. If you go to Wikipedia and search Stradivarious they talk about double blind testing and how inconclusive it has been for listeners to identify the Strad from the p... |
