| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? It is unimportant whether the vibration is occurring at a resonant frequency or not- its vibration either way- just more of it if its at a resonant frequency Again, I tend to agree with Ralph on this one and find it hard to believe that airborn... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Hi Fleib,In his last post, 1st paragraph, Ralph clearly stated that the vibration is likely to be airborne.Also, if I have read it correctly, Ralph's arm pod was on an antivibration platform together with the lathe, so I would assume most of the s... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Hi Halco,While I tend to agree with Ralph / atmasphere, I think it would be interesting if you could do some tests.To my way of thinking, the test can be rather simple, just lower the cartridge on a stationary platter / LP, then play music th... | |
| Michell Gyro SE + SME IV upgrade path Hi Tom, You may want to try the blu-tak tweak mentioned in this link : http://tnt-audio.com/clinica/orbetweak_e.html I can’t recall the details, but remember having considerable improvement when I was using the Orbe with SME V years ago. Goo... | |
| What cart. for the Reed 3P? Dover, thank you for your detailed reply! | |
| What cart. for the Reed 3P? Dover, thank you for the information! My question is, if we can block all, or most, of the external vibration at that resonance frequency (6Hz in my previous example) from reaching the TT by a Vibraplane or somthing similar, would that still has a... | |
| What cart. for the Reed 3P? Please correct me if I am wrong! As far as I understand, there is nothing special about this so call ideal resonance range of 8 - 12 Hz. It is just a general range to stay away from the lowest audio frequency (20Hz) and structural borne vibration ... | |
| Clear audio professional or klaudio record cleaner I have no idea whether it has any ultrasonic transducer, but the RW600 certainly cleans way better than the VPI HW17. My actual concern is (if it indeed has ultrasonic transducer) how can I tell whether it is still working after 1, 2, 3 years. I... | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? I could be wrong, but I doubt you could find any white paper specifically on turntable suspension. The audio industry just doesn't seem to publish that detail. You would have better luck looking into industrial products like TMC: http://www.tech... | |
| Pass Labs vs ARC It was not a direct comparison of the Ref 2SE and the XP25, but early last year we did a phono shootout involving the Ref 2SE and the dual Xono, among other phonos. As the name implies, the dual Xono setup utilized 2 sets of Xono, but used only ... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea signature phono stage Hi Lewm, what is the value of those output caps in the Janus / Rhea ? Thanks | |
| MIDAS aluminum shell I am a friend of Diawok and I have told him about this thread.He said his ad. on Audiogon had just expired, and he would renew it soon. | |
| Ayon, are there too many ads out there? Ayon is 100% made in China...Koowloon, Hong Kong Do you have further information on the address or company that is making Ayon in Hong Kong? I live in Hong Kong and may just go check it out. Years ago, when I looked at the Ayon for the first time... | |
| XP25 vs Reference Phono 2 SE If you have the chance, you may want to try a dual Pass Xono set up (using 2 sets of Xonos, and only use one channel on each), I think you will have a pleasant surprise.In a phono shootout among my group last year, we ranked the dual Xono right up... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? No, the P3a was from a friend in Hong Kong, and the SP10MK3 from Yahoo Japan. Actually, a local Sony PS X9 slipped through my fingers just a couple on months ago! |
