| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Thanks to everyone for the support. Hang in there Speedy, that amp will come back and be all the better.It does look like we're having a change in the weather to more dry air for the next week so maybe things will really improve around here. No co... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Spencer, I heard only the top of the line Stelvio. I'll be purchasing a Gavia, most likely with the Gavia platter. I know that Thom has a PVC platter that is the lowest cost and lightest weight platter. I've had something similar on a Basis so I k... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Thanks for the waring, Larry. That's very interesting. So, are the Airys less compliant or is this possibly something that might be improved with the extra headshell weight? I was impressed with both the Dynavector and UNIverse. They each seem to ... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Thanks! I'm sure this table will be with me for many years, which is why I took my time with this. I already have a new Triplanar VII and a Graham 2.2. I'm getting a Dynavector XV-1s for now. I'm still looking for something a little more compliant... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Well it has been quite a journey for me. I've been all through the pros and cons on paper and in my mind. The choice between the Galibier and Teres tables really does come down to personal preference in all categories. At least that has been my ex... | |
| Fellow vinyl junkies: we made the front page Chazzbo, I think you have a serious case of penis envy! Not really, but I wanted to see how many folks would read through your post to find the clues. :) | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Thom, I just realized we never played with the Anvil! :) | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Getting past the initial eye-opening lesson of what increased tempo can do to the reproduction of the music does take a little time. Just as with tone, dynamics, etc., Raul's favorite question is always present. "Does it sound like live music?" an... | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Thom, that sounds very much like what we heard when Chris purposely cranked up the torque. The leading edges became hard sounding. You're description of this as being more of a digital sound is very good. It was a great demo of the effect of too m... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Good one, Tom! :) A good question as well. I suspect that the SP-10 would have better tempo but perhaps not quite the dynamics. That's just my humiliated guess. (Really wish I hadn't missed the Druids!) | |
| High mass turntable owners -- What Stand? Mrmb, please let us know what you decide on. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? I'm pretty sure it was a clear belt that was used on both the 280 and 320. | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Thanks for the information, Frank, and also for the explanation of how the "same" arm/cart combo could sound different.Now stop typing. Save your wrists for the tonearms! :) | |
| Teres, Galibier and Redpoint Well, it sounds to me like Thom did get pretty close based on your last comments, Doug. And Thom also makes a valid point about the differences in systems and speakers. So I see no reason why someone could not be happy with either tonearm and eith... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Drubin, I was expecting this question and I have thought about it some. My take that on it is rather than just being belt or direct drive that makes the difference it is more the proper application of torque. But to more directly answer your quest... |
