| Aesthetix Rhea signature phono stage lewmpowered down means turned off completely. I actually unplugged it from the wall as well. this recommendation is straight from the Canadian distributor. | |
| Aesthetix Rhea signature phono stage the rhea is sensitive to the tubes used. it has gotten a bad rap because of this. also, if a tube is pulled before 20 minutes of being powered down, damage to the circuit can occur, which will cause noise. the caps need to discharge fully.it's a v... | |
| colibri vs. Benz lp-s icoremthere are many carts superior to both. the 3 clearaudios i use are superior, the insider reference, titanium and goldfinger. my dynavector XV1t is also superior. one to consider is the ikeda 9TT. similar benz sound but more lively and the bo... | |
| colibri vs. Benz lp-s have the LPS, had the XGP.the LPS has a fat bottom end, nice mids and decent highs. the XGP has detailed highs, very nice mids and a lean bottom end. I found the XGP to be arm dependant as well. it did not have much bottom end at all when mounted ... | |
| experiencing distorted playback with Benz Ruby 2 i have tracked all of the benz's i've had ( H20, rubyH, ruby3, ebony, LPS) at max or above max recommended tracking force, typically around 2.5gms.you will find the soundstage huge and deep defined bass if you track heavier. | |
| Brinkmann Bardo and Tri-Planar VII-U armrest issue paulthe problem with rotating the armboard is that the arm is mounted on an eccentric. i had the same set-up for a while. rotating the armboard changed the P2S distance. i ended up using a P2S of 255 and adjustung the cart forward in the headshell... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... lewm, the TT2 does put a mechanical lateral stress on the cantilever. i have tried carts at extreme ends of the compliance spectrum. the stiffer cart tracks consistently. i had a VDH colibri XGP, which has a compliance int the 30's if i remember c... | |
| Linear tracking tonearms..... look at the kuzma airline. i also use a TT2, on the same table with the kuzma. the mechanics of the clearaudio make it more noisy than the kuzma. both great arms. i use an insider ref on the TT2 and a dyna XV1t on the kuzma. i tried swapping carts... | |
| Clearaudio master reference vs Feickert Blackbird i have a kuzma airline with a dynavector xvit and also a tt2 with a clearaudio insider reference both on a tw acustic ac3 table. the tts needs a cartridge with very low compliance. i did have the carts reversed at one time, the xvit on the tts and... | |
| AudioDesk Systeme Record Cleaner i have been in contact with the manufacturer in germany. reiner has been prompt in replying and very accommodating. mine, upon initial power up, did not grab and spin the record. i sent it back directly to germany and he sent me a new unit. i rece... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea & Calypso Tube Upgrade i have a rhea, that had the stock tubes in it. i replaced them with a set put together by jim mcshane. much livelier sound, still new production tubes, jim just mixed and matched brands for the different stages in the pre. i'm happier with the son... | |
| New Raven AC Owner are you using it without a mat? i have the AC3 and prefer the living voice mystic mat. my manual says to keep the motors about 1/4" away from the plinth.i also have the table and motors on a large HRS platform. that's another great tweak for this ... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 maril555fwiw, i use a living voice mystic mat over the integral copper TW mat. i also use the mystic mat over a copper mat on the 1500 platter. i find the TW sounds great with a furutech record weight and the 1500 prefers the bdr weight. | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 too bad these threads always seem to get personal. someone has to quote someone else and then bash or "poppycock" what was said.maril555, i do own both tables in question. they are side by side on my rack, not at a friend's or at a show or somewhe... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 maril555i have a TWAC3 and a Miro Seiki RX1500, i bought the 1500 new in the '80's. the TW i bought 3 years ago.different tables of course. the sonic difference is the speed and detail that the TW displays. it has authority that the 1500 does not ... |
