| Analog vs Digital Confusion If you listen exclusively to contemporary music recorded and processed digitally, which most of it is these days, then probably there is little benefit in investing in a turntable, and the records released concurrently with their CD counterpart li... | |
| Lyra vs. Lyra Syntax How can you rate it when you have opened a thread where you ask forproper alignment, VTA, VTF because you have no idea about it andwhatever you do, it sounds always different? Don't you understand whatyou hear? A lot replace that with the a... | |
| Enter The Raven The GT and 10.5 Whart,I agree its looks belie its apparent complex design and tank-like built. At this price, however, this Kuzma model has a lot of competition. And judging by the description, it does not come with a tonearm. So we're talking well over $20,000. ... | |
| Enter The Raven The GT and 10.5 I was told by a dealer that Kuzma is coming out with a new turntable, which will be positioned between the Stabi Reference and XL. He seemed to have very high expectations for the new model. He didn't mention any of the other models going out of p... | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass AudiotombI think doing a capacitor change in the phono stage to roll off the lowest freq would accomplish what the KAB would do without all the extra hardware and interconnects.Why did manufactures get away from subsonic filters?purity of corrupte... | |
| 12.12.12 concert GloryStones looked like they came out of hell to perform. The look of death. The Who looked almost as bad. Drugs steal years off ones life.I couldn't disagree with you more. Roger Daltrey looks incredibly good for his age. So does McCartney. Roger... | |
| Enter The Raven The GT and 10.5 Goldeneraguy,Can you give us an idea of a price difference between these tables? The Stabi Reference is no slouch to be sure. I'm curious what it costs to get such a substantial improvement over it. | |
| Enter The Raven The GT and 10.5 Goldeneraguy,Congratulations. The sound must be amazing. How much is the combo, and I second the question about associated equipment. Thank you. | |
| Left channel fading in and out Al,I did hear crackling for a few seconds, which I immediately attributed to the problem, but it has disappeared since and I did not hear it at all yesterday when I switched the speakers. I always hear low level hiss from the tweeters with the vol... | |
| Left channel fading in and out I decided to switch the speakers to see whether the problem would remain in the left speaker or move to the right one. I figured this would allow me to at least eliminate the speaker as the source of the problem. The fading in and out appears to h... | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass Yes - a rumble filter I recommended in the last post before you revived the thread. At this level of playback and setup, if you're still experiencing woofer pumping, I'm not sure what else you can explore to address it. Perhaps moving your turntab... | |
| Left channel fading in and out Al,Yes, the low level hiss is what I would usually hear with my ear close to the tweeter. But when I powered up the system today, that hiss had some crackling as well.I checked the cartridge alignment and it was correct. I will start the check as ... | |
| Left channel fading in and out It appears it is the speaker, after all. When I turned the system on, with the volume knob all the way down, I heard some crackling sound coming from the left tweeter. When I turned it up, with no music on, the crackling disappeared, but the fade-... | |
| Left channel fading in and out Bifwynne,The speaker cables are the Anti-Cables (solid core copper with a thin layer of coating) with bare ends so switching L and R would most likely not show anything. I checked the tubes and the bias was spot on. They are relatively knew as I r... | |
| Left channel fading in and out Thank you all for good advice. Can anything be eliminated as a potential culprit? I was going to ask whether tubes could be crossed off the list, but just saw Bifwynne's post...I was also going to suggest the speaker since I'd think any damage wou... |
