| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? Top class. My favourite vinyl set up tool and beautifully made. It will last a lifetime.Charlie | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? Rokia Traore - Tchamantche and The Specials (remaster)The first is great music and beautifully recorded. The latter is just classic!Charlie | |
| Which cleaning solution do you use in you RCM? I use a DIY solution in my RCM - 80% by volume distilled water, 20% by volume 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and a few drops of photographic wetting agent (photoflo). Works very well on my old Moth RCM and it's cheap!Charlie | |
| Which phonostage is a heavenly match for a XV-1S How about the TRON Seven. I've heard the XV-1s several times on a Graham Phantom, Raven AC through tubes and Avantgarde Trios - divine.Charlie | |
| whats the best way to reglue record covers I use contact adhesive like uhu or evostik. | |
| ARC Phono - Which one should I get? Ref or PH7 Does it have to be ARC? If you want value for money in a truly high end tube phono stage, then look at the TROM Seven. Bespoke item, built to order (in the UK) and good value (both in audio and £-dollar terms).Charlie | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit Marco,I still use the stock motor, but with a GT Audio Battery supply. The DC supply has made a very noticeable difference. I have considered going for a new motor unit, but I'm very happy as things stand.Charlie | |
| Best recording Studer at 15ips preferably (if it's a high speed deck). | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit Ledoux,I use the thread drive and not the supplied rubber belt. Apparently that's what is recommended by Verdier. The build quality of Graham Tricker's battery PSU is excellent. He also makes TRON amplifiers (www.tron-electric.co.uk). All his kit ... | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit Ledoux,The best upgrade on my Platine Verdier was a battery power supply. I bought one from Graham Tricker (GT Audio) who is the UK Verdier distributor (www.gtaudio.com). Increases dynaimic range with inky black silence on quiet passages.Charlie | |
| Turntable advice? The Technodec is a pretty good choice (but not the only one). How important is the 'cabinet'? By cabinet, do you mean a proper cabinet or a shelf system?As soon as you start upgrading, you might get bitten by the bug. A major decision has to be wh... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? TRON phono stage on board my TRON Meteor tube preamp. This is very similar to the current top spec TRON Syren.Charlie | |
| Dust cover ??????? ... then a dust cover is a really good investment. In fact, if you employ a cleaner, then get one too. I lost the stylus from my Dyna Karat and my Micro Seiki LC80W over the years to a bit of rather zealous dusting!!!!We have cats and 3 kids. I bo... | |
| Raven vs. Verdier La Platine On my PV, the speed rarely changes. If it does, it's because the linen thread is starting to stretch. In that case, 2 minutes later, hey presto, a new thread is tied. I've used both the standard motor unit and the GT Audio battery PSU for the moto... | |
| Anyone contrast Transfiguration with Allaerts? Ebush,My Allaerts drives the MC phono stage of my TRON Meteor preamp (v similar to current TRON Syren pre). The MC stage includes a SUT and then an active stage driven by ECC83 tubes. I can't change the impedance on the TRON myself, but I know Gra... |
