| Buying new vinyl? Scvan,Read my lips my friend. Digital sounds flat and uninteresting by comparison to analog. It isn't glare, at least not all of the time, it isn't record covers, and it isn't surface noise. This is echoed by most of my audiophile friends. I'm not... | |
| Buying new vinyl? Fabsound, I have a top quality analog set up. I have a reasonably decent digital front end too but never use it. I agree, digital always sounds like digital. I'm not talking about the digital glare of the 1990s but the flat lifeless sound which ha... | |
| Any advice on a turntable mat. Oyaide BR-12 TT Mat. You can find it on Amazon. Even at full list its only $100.00. I have friends with VPI Classic 3s who use it and it is incredible. Use a record weight or clamp with it for best results. Your arm will have to be raised 5mm. | |
| cartridge recommendations I'm sorry, but I don't understand the responses to your question johnm21.The Orpheus is no longer in production. It has been replaced by the Proteus. It has an output of .2 MV. I don't know what the maximum gain is for your Luxman but I would not ... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven OK, so let's say I agree with Syntax. I often don't or at least I don't like the way he communicates his likes or dislikes in this forum. But as a musician and as someone who has spent considerable time in concert halls myself, how much time does ... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Dazzlingmd,IMO you do not Have to buy a Proteus. There are improvements over the Orpheus, but not enough to warrant the expense even with a great trade on your cartridge. I purchased the Proteus because I damaged the stylus on my Orpheus and I had... | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? Why is this discussion in the analog section? Personally I'd rather listen to my turntable and records most of the time. | |
| Transfiguration Proteus I have had a Proteus since January. Superb and IMO superior to my Orpheus LO. No retipping available from this mfg but a generous trade in program. I know since I accidentally did in my Orpheus prior to making an excellent trade in for the Proteus... | |
| Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...? Sort of what Raul is saying, the platform on which the TT sits is a major factor in getting everything from your TT. I can't imagine the Bardo not being engaging. I have heard it many times at shows and have always admired the table. Cartridge set... | |
| Where to improve phono chain? You don't mention if your TT sits on a decent foundation. An HRS, SRA, or Symposium platform will make a world of difference to you analog. Far more than anything mentioned here. You don't know what you already own until good mechanical isolation ... | |
| Any updated opinions on TW Acustics Raven GT/10.5? I'm a long time customer of Jeff's. If you chose the TW table you will also get a real friend in the business with him. You can buy with complete confidence. The TW arm is a fabulous arm and simple to set up. It's THE match for TW tables so I enco... | |
| Cartridge suggestions. To your point, the Transfiguration Proteus will do all you desire based on your post. Provided of course cartridge set up is spot on, your TT/Arm and phono stage are up to it, you have all sitting on a very good platform, and your phono stage has ... | |
| TW Acustic Turntable Mat I don't see anything about a new TT mat on their FB page. | |
| Raven turntable owners:oiling & what type? Tdaudio, diameter is 8". Feet extend out to almost the same measurement so assume that is the footprint. The unit should sit as close to your Raven as possible without touching. The long belt is used. The feet are optimized for height with the BK ... | |
| Raven turntable owners:oiling & what type? I have not heard the SM in my system. I did hear it in a friend's system who has an Anniversary. It sounded good but at its price I couldn't tell you it isn't silly money. Glad it sounds good for you however.The proteus is a much better cartridge ... |
