| rumble issues - see old thread update Yep, the oscillations of the craz were in my brain, but my fingers don't move as quickly as my thoughts. I tend to leave out parts. In this case, skipping ahead to the problems with granite. Adding a suspension under a non-suspended table is not t... | |
| rumble issues - see old thread update Those resonance figures you posted are absolutely fine. This is not, IMO, a tonearm/cart resonance issue. That combination is used by many people with no issues. Now, if one is using the Universe without one of the plates, 5 grams may be too light... | |
| Is the Basis 2001 a solid enough table to keep. Greg, I have not looked into it myself, but support from Nottingham here in the states is not exactly prolific. YMMV. I cannot speak to performance comparisons because I have only heard Not's a few times in dealer show rooms.If the Basis table you... | |
| Is the Basis 2001 a solid enough table to keep. Same motor as the top of the line Basis tables. A Vector would be the best arm for that table. I owned an older model 2001 for a couple of years and it was a solid performer. As you move up the line into the thicker, heavier platters the bass impa... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 Yes, I used to use a similar regimen. I think I got lucky on a few records, adopted a short cut, and then sang myself to sleep. So to speak. :-) | |
| Harry Weisfeld Was Right All Along Stringreen, I can assure you that TWL knows what he's talking about. (I wonder if Tom still scans these forums from time to time.) The forces that led to the need for AS are always present. The need to apply AS is not always present, IME. I haven'... | |
| best racks,amp stands etc. Maybe you could getter results by using some of the isolation devices with your current racks. Stillpoints and rollerblocks are very effective. | |
| rumble issues - see old thread update Hi Tom,I spend Sunday at Doug's and we were thinking about your issue. There were a couple of noticeable woofer excursions but I believe each could be attributed to vinyl anomalies. I think from your description your woofer pumping is much more fr... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Thom, your last paragraph hits right on the point. Next to meeting and talking with everyone, I'm hoping to hear some new cartridges for myself in a more relaxed, informal setting. Like the A90, for instance. I'd almost vote to not hear a ZYX, Dyn... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 What I find most interesting about this particular LP is that the enzymes seem to have been working on some contaminant. This was a recently opened pressing from the Music Matters series of Curtis Fuller's The Opener. Was it the enzymes or was it ... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 Ok, ok. Once again my words have been ripped from my mouth and feed back to me in large chunks. :-)Steam isn't doing as much for me as I thought. It may have helped some used records but I'm back on the soaking band wagon. Doug soaked my previousl... | |
| Tonearms of exotic materials- esp. Carbon? Not quite sure where this thread is going. I think I can say that the tonearm must be considered as a whole system. Therefore the use of one material over another is valid within the specific tonearm system. Use or non-use of a particular material... | |
| Why is high capacitance good? Well, you certainly don't want higher capacitance with longer cable runs. Higher cable capacitance will make the load values on either end more critical to proper matching. This is why folks recommend as low a capacitance as possible with long cab... | |
| Discovery cables.... Both my Triplanar VII and my Durand Talea tonearms are wired with Discovery. World-class tonearms with world-class wiring. | |
| Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long What is the method of deionization this product uses?Many of us who have highly resolving vinyl sources find distilled water is not good enough for final rinsing. Although it could be better than not rinsing at all. |
