| Which cart. with Clearaudio Unify & Teres 255? Yes, the lower is always better, as long as you have the gain. The reason being the lower output model will have smaller, lighter weight coils, and therefore faster response. Load it at 100 ohms. Good luck. | |
| Power cord? Why? My question would be that after performing a test like described above, and having the possible result of no measurable difference, but they still sound different, what do you do then? Do you conclude that the testing methods are flawed, or that y... | |
| Lost sheep, Back to LP Turntable: buy guidance Hi Elizabeth. My first recommendation is to consider all the items in an analog rig as a system that will work together to play music. It is an all-too-often-made mistake that people just buy some TT, some other arm, and some cartridge, and expect... | |
| Which cart. with Clearaudio Unify & Teres 255? I think the best choice for that arm on the Teres 255 would be a ZYX R-100 Fuji. It is definitely in the same excellent sonic quality as the Shelter 901, but has a higher compliance that will work better with a Unipivot arm like the Clearaudio Uni... | |
| Power cord? Why? Sean, I'm currently using a large capacity lead acid automotive battery with 650 cold cranking amps, located about 24 inches from my amplifier. I have the terminals directly connected to the power input barrier strip on the amp, with 12ga OFC copp... | |
| Power cord? Why? Okay Bomarc. I'm on the same page now. Thanks for your point of view. | |
| VPI Aries - either or question, please comment You can try to use a Shelter on it, and I understand that Harry has supposedly done something to the arm that he claims will make it handle a Shelter.If it were me, I'd use a different cartridge on that arm.The technical reasons are that unipivots... | |
| Power cord? Why? Bomarc, I have no problem with science explaining things. I like that. What I repeatedly hear, though, is that either there is no scientific reason for cables sounding different, or that we are all imagining it, or both. If there is some other sci... | |
| Power cord? Why? I suppose it would be totally out of bounds at this point to say that I have gone beyond AC power cords, and found that even in straight flat DC power, I can hear differences in the types of chemical compositions of the batteries being used. Not o... | |
| Tonearm Lifting Device, Any Ideas??? No sonic impact. The trigger mechanism doesn't even contact the arm until the stylus is in the lead-out groove. Never tried it with a Spacedeck, but I don't think there would be any problems with it. | |
| Joseph Audio RM33si & others in the $8,000 range If you like electrostatic speakers, the SoundLab M3 is under $8k new. It is a non-hybrid fullrange electrostatic speaker with response down to 30Hz. SoundLabs are consistently mentioned as one of the finest, if not the finest, electrostatic speake... | |
| Isobaric configurations Yes, they can, but most of the ones I've seen use sealed cabinets.There are several Isobarik configurations that I've seen.They include:Face to face - out of phase,Back to back - out of phase,Front to back - in phase.I have also seen a TL tube con... | |
| Soundstaging and imaging are audiophile fictions. I don't know about anyone else, but when I go to a symphony, I can tell the first chair violin is coming from the front left side of the orchestra. Etc, Etc. Why is this not desireable to have similar results from your stereo? Isn't that what imag... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 3 Turntable I think that the Expressimo Heavyweight counterweight should be on your short list for good mods. They also make a VTA collar for a reasonable price. They might make you a package deal if you buy both. That arm would do well with a DL103R on it. A... | |
| Vinyl manufacturers don't stand behind product? No, Pbb, I'm not saying they are all perfect. I am saying I haven't gotten any defective ones in a long time, so I do not know if there has been a change in the return policy. |
