| Cartridge/Tonearm matching fundamentals? Certainly no oil damped unipivot is optimal. But then is the implication that captured bearing arms are, in fact, optimal. Certainly not. No captured bearing can be infinitely free moving in the horizontal and vertical planes and completely withou... | |
| I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and 1)Q: How do you get a musician off of your doorstep? A: Pay for the pizza.2) Did you hear that Joe finally died after a long ilness? Really, what did he have? Martin Logan, Krell, Audio Research. | |
| Cartridge/Tonearm matching fundamentals? I must disagree with the assertion that low compliance cartridges are incompatible with unipivot arms. Those unipivots which are oil damped are completely stable with this type of cartridge, the viscosity of the oil offering enough momentary resis... | |
| What is the worst recorded CD you have? Seems like a lot of the worst sounding CDs are "Best Of" compilations, the irony is incredible. It's really no wonder that the major labels are seeing diminished sales. The whining about Napster and the like only serves to divert the attention fro... | |
| How old is too old ?.... Ya know, I'm gettin' on in age too; when should the listener be replaced? | |
| RB-300:help ;I think I'm wacked Actually, the new RB1000 arm is $1595.00, well over a thousand bucks. Anyone out there heard it yet? | |
| Review: Rega Elys Cartridge I have used the Elys on a Planar 3 and really didn't care for a certain thiness in the midrange, kind of like Callista Flockhart to the Orson Wells sound that I prefer. Using the recommended Rega three-hole mounting technique sited the cartridge a... | |
| What is the worst recorded CD you have? Robert Earl Keen, "Picnic". A lesson in what goes wrong when your brother becomes the producer. Impossibly screechy highs and opaque midrange textures frame the most banal writing in Keen's career. It must be hard loseing one's muse in public; per... | |
| Record mats, VTA, clamps and my ears I love your tweeky method of overcoming the shortcomings of the Pod. Great work. That's what the hobby is all about. | |
| Record mats, VTA, clamps and my ears Do not ever use The Pod disc clamp. It requires you to put downward pressure onto the spindle and can damage the main bearing. The three feet can also cause a degree of deformation of the vinyl, but this is less severe than the former problem. Mod... | |
| Do you remember... No wonder it's so hard to find a copy of Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay" in good condition. | |
| Thank you Audiogoner's for your civilized attitude Busted again!Marty | |
| Thank you Audiogoner's for your civilized attitude I am in complete agreement on the good form evinced by the members on this forum, however I often feel that there is a homogenous quality to a lot of the opinions expressed here and a general lack of tolerance for those with ideas that are well ou... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Viridian is a shade of green, as in green with envy over some of the gear that you these guys are running. | |
| Worth it to buy cheap, but no audition integrated mrhdream, I am not kidding the thing that your JVC mini system does right is play music, even if badly; too many audio geeks, myself included, lose sight of that. I have listened to all of the CD players you are considering, if only casually, and ... |
