| When did it all start? Yes, except is was my next door neighbor that came home from Viet Nam tour with a load of Japanese audio gear. It seemed awesome at the time. | |
| your favorite violin or fiddle cuts, and why? Khachaturian Vioin Concerto, for classical.Scarlet Rivera for popular/ethnic. | |
| Looking to get TT I think the MMF 5 or 7 are good tables, and should surpass your digital rig - at least somewhat. I think they come pacakaged with a phono cartridge already installed, so they should be easy to get up and running. The Goldring cartridges that come ... | |
| Looking to get TT About the part where you ask if you will have a good sounding TT for many years, if you are like most audiophiles, you will be upgrading in about six months to a year anyway. If you have not had a TT before, once you hear analog, you will be looki... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long I'm real happy that you like the mod, Ron. Thanks for your great descriptions about the sonic improvements. I've even been getting some more interest from others in the HiFi mod now. Maybe it will actually "catch on" after all. I just like to impr... | |
| Exposed tonearm cable source of hum?? Sure, it's possible that some hum could be induced there. However, the hum is coming from somewhere, in order for it to be induced on that cable. The wires themselves are not causing the hum, they are just picking it up. Unless there is a wiring p... | |
| OL Silver vs SME 309 All I can say is I wouldn't trade mine for an SME V or a Graham. They both(SME and Graham) however are more easily adjustable. The OL has the Rega-style VTA collar, and that is all the adjustment I ever needed. No doubt that they are better lookin... | |
| Will digital amps make analog amps obsolete? Drat! And just when I was starting to enjoy my tube system. :^)Didn't they ask the same question when transistors first came out? "Will transistors make tube amps obsolete?" Here it is 40 years later, and tubes still rule. So, I guess I wouldn't h... | |
| OL Silver vs SME 309 As an OL Silver owner myself, I may be accused of being biased, but there are several British and American reviews out there that claim the OL Silver is equal or better than the SME V flagship model. I would say that it is safe to conclude from th... | |
| Lost sheep, Back to LP Turntable: buy guidance Francisco, is your Creature the most modded and advanced of its type, or has anyone else you know gone to a further extent with the 1200? Just how far can you go with the Creature? And is there a "diminishing returns" point that you have experienc... | |
| Is my VDH MC Magnetized Does this Create Noise VDH states on their website that they do not recommend that any cartridge be subjected to de-magnetization. | |
| Lost sheep, Back to LP Turntable: buy guidance The Teres plays 33 and 45 rpm records. Press the button twice for 45 rpm. I think Lak would love a Teres. I love mine. It may not be the pinnacle, but it does real well. Price is very reasonable for the performance level.The DL103 is too stiff for... | |
| Lost sheep, Back to LP Turntable: buy guidance Well, Francisco, I guess I learn something every day. It does have a DC motor. I'd say that is in its favor for sure.Thanks for the "heads-up" on that. | |
| Lost sheep, Back to LP Turntable: buy guidance I think the 1200 is a decent sounding DD deck. However, I don't agree that it is better than a decent belt drive. Yes, I am fully aware of the inherent problems in both systems. I have done comparisons, and I always liked the decent belt drive bet... | |
| VPI Aries - either or question, please comment Dennis, a periphery clamp is a large ring-shaped weight that goes on the outer edge of the record, to hold the edges down during play. It helps to "iron out" some warps, and to better couple the record to the platter, as well as possibly damping o... |
