| Adjusting SRA using macro lens vs microscope Richard, I didn't hear it committing any sins. The A90 is very respectable from my short time listening to it. | |
| Adjusting SRA using macro lens vs microscope Doug, as you said Sat, you know that you can use the body of a Universe to start because you have looked at the stylus on a few samples and have concluded that the stylus does end up close to a starting SRA/VTA when you level the body. I do agree ... | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained Thanks, Carlos. It was this line that struck me a bit. The truth of the matter is that the only way to make digital sound like analogue is to add distortion. I don't disagree. If I was to be anal about it I would say "the only way to make digital ... | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained Carlos, are you suggesting that digital process don't add their own colorations? | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained My point, Mitch, is that Wikipedia is hardly a "verified" resource but yet so many people want to quote it or point to it. As for the topic, I don't really care why it sounds better. | |
| The "great" sound of reel to reel explained Wikipedia. It's in print, sort of, so it has to be correct. Right? ;-) | |
| getting azimuth right The crosstalk is a function of the cartridge motor. You can't adjust it in anyway. I agree with the Feickhart docs in that getting az and vta relatively correct does have a great deal to do with the phase it seems to me. I'm going by what I hear w... | |
| Basis Vector 4 arm question I agree with Gslone and Dre, the Vector has to have damping fluid to work properly. Start with just enough to reach that vertical bearing. | |
| A major disconnect between the audiophile magazine I don't think I've read an audiophile magazine in 30 years. ;-) | |
| Blue Note reissues IIRC, the copy we were listening to was an original. It wasn't mine or I'd have it out playing again. Maybe it got cleaned up in the reissues?BTW, I'm still impressed with my Music Matters reissues. They're pricey, but not so much when you conside... | |
| Blue Note reissues I think I have heard what your are talking about. Several of us were listening to KOB and thought this was mistracking. To make a long story short, we concluded in the end that the sax needed to be "de-juiced", if you catch my meaning. I think it ... | |
| noob TT setup question It's all you. YOu simply missed the lead-in groove when you cued. The location of that groove varies. Get better lighting and/or look closer while cuing. | |
| for the ultimate vinyl analog lover---when you die I'll do it if the side b of my LP plays "kiss my arse" over and over and over. . . | |
| analog newbie question/vinyl weight On my tonearm, one revolution of the VTA knob is 1/2mm, assuming I am moving between LPs of similar thickness (weight). IME with this arm, adjustments of less than one turn often result in better timbres and tone. No doubt, the arm has to be capab... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Doug, please make a call on this. This is turning into a much deeper, and much more intelligent, discussion on this topic of arm/cart resonances. While it is relevant to the thread topic it will venture in other directions. We can discuss here, or... |
