| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Raul,i think we are going a bit in circles here (and i'm part of that problem) as we are back to the whole 'proof of cause/effect of stylus drag' issue......when the issue is not likely one to be proved other than by listening.i wrote a long respo... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Albert,thanks. and i'm excited to read about the technical merits of the Mk3 drive system. it's all your fault i've dived into these vintage dd tt's.i'll be shipping my Technics SP-10 Mk3 to Dobbins on Monday so he can work his magic with it. then... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. yet there is no drive system that will remove our drag problem that i am aware of.hummmmmm.as far as stylus drag/groove modulation.....i think that the Rockport Sirius III's drive system may solve this issue. you have an pure induction direct driv... | |
| Choosing Between 2 Turntables well....since i am presently enjoying my Steve Dobbins custom plinth'd 301 with Triplaner i suppose i'm a bit biased. even though i'm still getting to know it somewhat i can tell you that i just want to keep playing record after record whenever i ... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. Dear Mike : I'm not saying that the stylus drag is not audible certainly is what I'm saying is that I can't say ( only in a subjective way with out scientific measures ) that due to stylus drag a TT platter change its speed, that's all.Dear Raul; ... | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. i certainly agree with Teres that stylus drag is real and audible, it varies based on the complete tt system, it's noise floor and how flat the Lp is. i listen to an Lp on the top belt driven tt's and then on the Rockport and there is a difference... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player Jim, will you have any vinyl in that room to compare to the MPS-5? in my room the vinyl reference really shows how special the MPS-5 really is. i'll be looking forward to hearing the MPS-5 in your room. | |
| 2008 RMAF – – – all things analog. i'll be there with my eyes and ears open.....paying particular attention to all things analog....tt's and RTR. | |
| Dartzeel or Mark Levinson 33H your Chimera's are 88db, 4 ohms.....they are on the more difficult to drive side of the equation. the Levinson 33H will be slightly more capable of filling a large space with these speakers compared to the darTZeel. OTOH the dart is quite a bit lo... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player i have refrained from commenting on the AF viewpoint simply due to the respect i have for AF. as far as good guys and gals in audio.....AF is as good as it gets.my own comparison with the PD and EMM Labs gear had a dramatically different result th... | |
| Best Zeppelin LP recordings... the very best Led Zepplin Lp's are the Classic 45rpm reissue box set. i also have all the 33rpm Classic reissues and various other pressings.nothing comes close to the 45's. they are bigger, bolder, have blacker backgrounds, much more depth and se... | |
| Best remote with preamp the darTZeel battery powered NHB-18NS has a very minimalist remote; only volume up, volume down, and mute....three buttons on a very classy all aluminum, red anodized, perfect hand sized remote. the recesssed buttons have a positive 'click' so you... | |
| Reel to Reel Mods i recommend asking this question on 'The Tape Project Forum' here;http://www.tapeproject.com/smf/index.php | |
| Cannonball Adderly / Somethin' Else Classic did a 45rpm of 'Autumn Leaves' off this Lp and it is fantastic......i have a couple of copies of it. hopefully Chad's 45rpm of the whole album will be as good. | |
| Upgrade for better redbook performance i think the limitations of your 2-channel performance are primarily in the volume control performance of the Linn. if you add the very best redbook performance and still put it thru the Linn you will not gain much as the Linn has quite good redboo... |
