| Mistracking I reiterate; the range for your Black, is 1.4 to 1.7G, so- you can try .2 more VTF, without exceeding the recommendations. Further- the Shibata stylus is very sensitive to VTA and Rake Angle adjustments. Does your table's arm allow for those? I'd ... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Actually; the range for your Black, is 1.4 to 1.7G, so- you can try .2 more VTF, without exceeding the recommendations. Further- the Shibata stylus is very sensitive to VTA and Rake Angle adjustments. Does your table's arm allow for those? I'd sti... | |
| Different Results between Record Cleaning Machines I owned an original VPI 16(purchased in 1981), and now own the 16.5(using VPI's fluids). Many of the records in my possession, were cleaned with the first, then treated with LAST(once). I've always pre-play cleaned with a Discwasher D3 or 4 system... | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Actually- the odds are pretty good, if the groove modulation is high enough. BTW- Do you have your VTF set toward the high or low end, of your cart's range? | |
| Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth" Find a good copy of one of these test records: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/LP-SHURE-PHONO-CARTRIDGE-TRACKABILITY-TEST-RECORD-NEW-/350505083217?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item519bbb2151) (http://www.audiophileusa.com/item.cfm?record=81920&c=1&... | |
| Jitter and 75ohm cable length My experiment was via two Kimber Orchids(.5m and 1.5m) There was no contest, as the longer cable was much more open and liquid. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Your 60Hz line freq, may no longer be sacred! This COULD POSSIBLY become an issue soon. A copy/paste, from a previous thread: Something that got me thinking more about speed accuracy lately, as both of my tables are equipped with AC synchronous mo... | |
| Explain speaker cable resistance, capacitacance? It's impossible to predict how a cable or interconnect will sound, without having it installed in a system. All conductors will necessarily interact with widely diverse component input & output impedances, as well as the highly reactive(in mos... | |
| Do you use variable speed on your turntable? Something that got me thinking more about speed accuracy lately, as both of my tables are equipped with AC synchronous motors: (http://wattsupwiththat.com/2011/06/25/it-hertz-when-you-do-that-power-grid-to-stop-regulating-60-hz-frequency/) (http:/... | |
| Do you use variable speed on your turntable? Here's a perfect example of HYPE and GOUGE, praying on those of us, concerned with TT speed accuracy: (http://www.musicdirect.com/p-4838-digistrobo-turntable-strobe.aspx) This is NOT a, "strobe" at all, but- a simple LASER tachometer, that has bee... | |
| Best Record You Have Ever heard 'I've Got the Music in Me' Thelma Houston & Pressure Cooker, Sheffield Labs/Doug Sax, Direct to Disc, 1975. If you don't own it, or haven't heard it(on a good system); you simply don't know what you are missing! | |
| Upgrade path the same for cables ? Mr B- Try the Synergistic Tesla line(especially the Apex & Tricon Analog). Both will allow you to hear exactly what is going on upstream(for better or worse). The Kimber Select line(1030's/1130's) are also excellent, in that regard. I own some... | |
| Best Mullard 5AR4/GZ34? The Mullard/Blackburn factory tubes, are the best sounding rectifiers out there. Forget about anything being manufactured today. The earlier/the better, but all Mullard/Blackburn factory valves are worth the money(regardless of the branding they e... | |
| Phono preamp under 1k new or used advice? The PS GCPH is one unit that responds greatly, to the installation of a HiFi Supreme Tuning fuse, and upgraded power cord(ZU Mother works great here). They already contain FREDs, in their power supplies, and I believe the stock fuse and cord preve... | |
| Skating force at 45rpm Magnepan Unitrac I and Denon 103D(very low effective mass and high compliance). No problems here either, and I pay a great deal of attention to sound stage/imaging. It could be that your arm is more resistant to lateral displacement, than your car... |
