| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner I have the Copperhead on the Raven AC and my friend has the Cobra on the Continuum Caliburn.Without checking his set-up for VTF and VTA, I can tell you that the Raven/Copperhead sounds positively better.Even my friend agrees! | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Raul,Thank you for pointing out the derivations of certain pivoted arms.As there are basically 2 commercially successful methods to achieve the pivoted arm principle (unipivot and double gimbel bearings...the Schroeder double magnet bearing is sti... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Raul, whilst we all appreciate the experiences and comparisons that you bring to this forum, I think that Zieman has a point.Your claim that the old technology of arms is as good as, if not better than the new, is demonstrably false just as your b... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Sirspeedy I'm not in the industry in any way....I'm an Architect.Firstly I said that I've never heard the Triplanar arm....I said that the Agent for these arms in Australia just happens to be the CEO of Continuum Audio Labs.I've heard the Phantom ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Downunder...I've read it!As I intimated, he isn't about to compare it, in print, to the Phantom made by his mate Bob Graham!?Also in the latest Absolute Sound, Jon Valin goes one better on Fremer by making the Raven AC/3 the new REFERENCE! above t... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Audiofeil I know you advocate the tonearm ahead of the cartridge and after hearing the effects of the Continuum Copperhead on the sound I can achieve, I can understand why you think so.However where we differ is in the superb improvements in sound... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner PS Sirspeedy,The distributer in Australia for the Triplanar arm is in fact the CEO of Continuum Audio (Dr Murali Murugasu) and he has listened at length to the Triplanar vs the Cobra and Copperhead.....not good news for you Triplanar fans?However ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Sirspeedy.Sorry I wasn't very clear......the comparison to the Phantom HAS been done many times (I have not heard the Triplanar).Unfortunately the Phantom could not compete in any meaningful way with either the Copperhead or Cobra.Mikey Fremer has... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Downunder you should have called me to come and listen. I'm just down the road from HiFi Junction.Copperhead has been running since Xmas 07.Continuum re-drilled the TW Acustic armboard to fit. It's only cosmetic reasons that Raven are supplying a ... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner That's a strange statement from a guy who has obviously never heard the Continuum Cobra or Copperhead?And the breakthrough that these arms have delivered will ensure that even THEY will not be the 'final word'? | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable Hi Keith,With that budget you can get the Raven AC together with the Australian Continuum Copperhead arm which quite frankly is astounding.If you live in Sydney you are welcome to come to my place to hear the differences for yourself.RegardsHalcro | |
| Suspended vs. non suspended turntable The Walker, Continuum and Rockport are not suspended designs.Just because two of them may be placed on air-suspended platforms has little in common with the principles of true 'suspended design' turntables like the VPIs, Linn and Sotas.To join the... | |
| Built-in phono stages I have the Halcro DM10 which has the built-in phonostage for both MM and MC cartridges with 3 stages of gain for the MCs so LOMCs are no problem (I'm currently running ZYX Universe and Dynavector DV1s).The beauty is no interconnects and additional... | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners As with ANY turntable (unsuspended OR suspended)......placing on a cantilevered wall-mounted shelf is hard to beat.The Raven AC is heavy so that a masonry wall is recommended or really rigid bolting directly to studs in a plasterboard is necessary... | |
| Turntable or vinylology 101 for newbies. Do NOT bank on Audiofeil's dogma!Yes....there are many who share his view.It does not make it truth nor fact.I too have had major revelations in changing cartridges....more so than arms or turntables.Once you have reached a certain level of compet... |
