| Schroeder Reference Arm Dgad, you make great points. I, personally, am not really interested in a quest to find which arm is better than the other. I expect them to be very close in performance. If I'm wrong on this, I won't be the first time. :-) As is usually the case,... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Sunnyboy, you've got email. I'm in So. New Hampshire.I also hold the Triplanar in high regard. This is an arm I can happily live with for many years to come. HOwever, the Talea was just something I could not get out of my head weeks after the prot... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm From what I've learned about the Foz and Feikert's software I would expect this. The Foz would get one close, and the software package would get you pretty much dead on the theoretical optimum. If one can do it by ear, it gets to be much faster. I... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? BTW. It just so happens that the Talea mounting bolt pattern will fit within two of the three Triplanar mounting holes, so no machining is necessary. I realize Sunnyboy is looking for a second arm, but I thought I would mention this in case it hel... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 Well, I guess our approaches are on par time-wise. I'd say it takes me ~20 minutes just to clean a record.But remember, I have to do everything manually. Except the sucking part, of course. Not only do I still have a backlog, but I'm developing ca... | |
| Graham Phantom B44 2 or Taela ? Sunnyboy, I was going to invite you for a listen to my Talea, but then I remembered you're in India. If you get by New England, you're welcome. :-)Maybe Thom, or Joel, or someone will join in who has experience with both arms. I have heard a Skala... | |
| Clearaudio Double Smart Matrix or Loricraft PRC4 HI Peter,well I was hoping that the lack of cleaning backlog was due to the Loricraft/Monk/Clearaudio machines being faster. Apparently, from your response, a PRC4 wouldn't help as much with my backlog as I thought. :-( | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm I'm not trying to "win" anything, Frank, and I do regret that you have been pulled into this. The full picture is not on this thread. This is not about who's arm is better, or anything else having to do with audio. He can insult me all he wants. H... | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer 100% what Doug said. Getting AZ correct by listening can be problematic for even seasoned listeners when using an arm that requires the adjuster to start and stop while actually changing the AZ. This can make it very easy to lose the reference tha... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Nope, Mr. Weiss. I am certainly not looking for anything you may have. Of that you can be certain. As I have posted elsewhere in A'gon, I would not let my dog piss on the side of your barn or your Soho shop. Actually, I'll reserve the honor of pis... | |

| Schroeder Reference Arm With all due respect, Frank. I don't see "speculation" in posts from those who have experience with your arm and the Talea. Jonathan, on the other hand, has consistently chosen to go beyond his own speculation and resort to sarcastic attacks on an... | |
| Why not horns? Macrojack, I will correct one of your posts regarding my past visitations of the OMA site.I will only say that my "time" visiting with OMA was very short, very educational, and very eye-opening.To say that I would not let my dog lift his leg on th... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Jonathan, I understand OMA doesn't represent Cogent anymore either. You must have to sell chunks of rock for turntables in bulk loads to keep that old, rundown barn in working order. | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer Sure glad I bought a Talea. Getting AZ right could not be more simple, and it is correct. Not some educated guess by someone's eye or some gadget. Just my own two ears. |
