Woofers getting workout, but no bass
Pain? Perhaps at times. However, how does it sound to you? Warts and all, it still sounds better to me than any other format. 
Woofers getting workout, but no bass
Are you saying a ceedee playing down to,say, 25Hz will also cause excessive excursion? I think that ported speakers may be more susceptible, but that doesn't tell the hole story, IMO. 
Woofers getting workout, but no bass
So, this wasn't an issue until the woofers were "seen" doing the dance. I don't think there was much mentioned about "hearing" any issues. Certainly finite detail at low freq. might be improved by defeating the woofer dance, but it usually comes a... 
RMAF 2009 Analog Report + Meet and Greet
Thanks for sharing, Dre. If you don't have it already, pick up Hot Dawg. Grappelli, Grisman, and others. Maybe next year. ;-)Dan 
Tools to measure in room response
Another option for phantom power with the Behringer.Rolls PB23I find the Behringer to roll of above ~15kHz, but that's well beyond the interesting ranges, IMO. 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
Halcro,with a custom made arc protractor, the need to be highly accurate at setting P2S doesn't exist. You just need to be close, 1/2 mm or so. Aligning to the arc takes care of the rest of the precision because the arc was drawn using the effecti... 
Beak -- an analogue tweak.
Always beneficial? No, imo. What we Galibier owners have found is that the 6 lb. Anvil seemed to work well with the older platter surface, but it is detrimental to the sound with the newer graphite platter surface. There was too much damping, so t... 
TriPlanar Tips
I don't think I'm getting my meaning across, Nandric, so I'll stop with this last OT post here. ;-)I'm not talking philosophy, but perhaps tradition is a good word. I suppose I'm talking about the difference between intellectual tradition and stre... 
TriPlanar Tips
I understand Nandric, and I am not saying it is your fault, or anyone's fault. It is the international learning curve. ;-) It is what little direct contact I have had with some Europeans that caused me to realize that certain grammatical phrases c... 
Need advice from Triplanar mk.7 owners
Doug, it looks to me as if the entire pinch clamp is rotated on the arm stub toward the arm rest. The second picture shows this pretty well. If this is the case the pin could look to be closer to one stop or the other whether the AZ is perpendicul... 
TriPlanar Tips
Nandric, I have obviously misunderstood you. I did not wish to continue last week as I felt that my doing so would only detract further from the purpose of this thread. It is often difficult to convey ideas and meanings through written word, at le...

FWIW, my Triplanar is "off" but not to the same extent as yours. I mean, I can see with my naked eye that things are slightly tilted outward as is yours. Just not tilted as far as yours. I'm not sure that it makes any difference in sound as long a... 
TriPlanar Tips
As Dertornarm stated before those aremechanical matters and mechanics don't care about our subjective preference. But according to you and some others it is nearly impossible to get AS right. But whay bother then?Ah, then it is perhaps Dertonearm'... 
TriPlanar Tips
Nandric, you have crossed into the realm of "what I prefer", not what is necessary to produce music. I don't know Tri and have no interest in protecting him or anyone else. I don't give a crap what tonearm you buy and you are certainly entitled to... 
TriPlanar Tips
Ah, thanks for clarifying. No, we all only have one AS weight, but a good number of us aren't using any AS either. Personally, I'm still going back and forth between no AS and a tiny bit, but not for tracking issues. Sometimes I think a tad bit of...
