| Reminded once again of VTA criticality... Mike, the burning question is : are the changes the result of minor VTA or the change in SRA resulting from VTF? I recall someone did measurement on this and they estimated +/-3mm = +/-0.1g while I also remember a Stereophile contributor writing t... | |
| Setting Antiskate - visually Poon...something which may help : There is a quite a lengthy discussion on this very subject (and method) here on A'gon :http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1292611797&&&/how-do-you-determine-anti-skate-settingsTo be hone... | |
| New Lyra Delos wheres the bass? Cyclopse, the Delos is only my first Lyra and the bass is consistent enough to shake a solid concrete floor and for the listeners to feel it in their stomach and lungs. I set "level" VTA on my Phantom II such that it matched the setting when the s... | |
| Lyra Delos or Transfiguration Axia or ? I'm using the Delos in a new Graham Phantom II. Once fully setup the treble really settles down to a more appropriate level which is entirely natural in it's presentation. I'm not sure if mine is suffering from "low riding" syndrome but the sound ... | |
| how do you determine anti-skate settings? I'm with Almarg on this one. Is the argument by some manufacturers in favour of zero bias actually justified based on their hardware? (In some cases you see arms designed without any bias adjustment feature, the manufacture puts some positive spin... | |
| New Lyra Delos Cartridge A question for Jonathan : Given the propensity of some for zero bias in favour of excessive VTF (way beyond manufacturers recommendations) how does this philosophy reconcile with the normal Delos/Kleos setup procedure of setting the cart at an ave... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? ..Having said that, tracking seems to be improving as the cartridge runs in. I revisited the HFN/RR test disc without changing anything (minimal adjust on the bias) and it seemed to have almost cleared the 2nd band this time, only an hour or so af... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Paperw8 : "You'll get better dynamics but i think that 470 ohms is a bit bright. i had previously been using an effective load impedance of about 363 ohms. i am currently using an effective load impedance of 455 about ohms but may go back to 363 o... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Thanks for that Paperw8.....I'm currently using a load of 220 with the PS0.3r and it sounds pretty good even though I'm still running in the cart, but you've intrigued me so I will try something approaching the 470 setting.Best................M. | |
| How to eliminate TT feedback/vibration 11-22-10: AuxetophoneIf possible, try lowering the stylus on a disc without the platter turning, and then rapping on the wall, platter, plinth, platform etc with volume at realistic loud levels to get some insight into what is happening. Although ... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? 11-29-10: Paperw8"from where you are getting your data on input capacitance? my whest manual provides no information on input capacitance. an input capacitance of 220pf sounds a bit high even for a moving magnet section."-----------------James Hen... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? 100pf seems extraordinarily low for the RDT? My ps0.3r has a 220pF input C, while the 0.5m cable is assumed to be around 50pF Giving me a total of 270pF. By way of contrast a Trichord Diablo is way up there at 1.1nF(?) but as Audiofeil says it doe... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Paperw8 :"55dB will send a signal of about 1/3 volt to the preamplifier where 60dB sends a signal of about 0.6 volts to the preamplifier."Hi Paperw8...the Whest manual merely says "0.6mV-0.35mV = 55db setting", "0.4mV-0.25mV = 60db"(personally I w... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Paperw8, I'm also starting to use a Delos into the Whest (although not the dual transformer version) on the 55db setting. I sympathise with the value-for-money argument that this design represents.I must admit that I agonised over the best choice ... | |
| Graham Phantom Bearing Removal Tobes...your procedure is so well stated it should be cut & pasted into the Phantom manual. :o) However in my case the T/T is in a corner, accessed from the front and effectively boxed in 3 sides so lifting the bearing from behind the counterw... |
