| Wilson Audio Haters The Watt/Puppies image like 3D. Most people don't like flat FR response, although they think they do.Wilson spks are not set and forget; they must be set up right. Room acoustics and cables should be optimized with a set of ears which can hear. ... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I can't stand to read this moronic babbling. Anyone can train themselves to hear distortion, speed variations, 2nd and 3rd harmonic, etc etc.Perhaps I underestimated Raul when we first encountered, but he doesn't have to name the type of distorti... | |
| Which is the Better Tonearm - Pro-Ject or Rega? Rega vs ProJect ??You must be kidding. Roy Gandy is an opportunist who can't hear. No VTA adjustment is the donkey kong of mistakes. I need VTA OTF, soI guess I should measure shims or mats to the micron. That's a great idea, and convenient to... | |

| The Palladian-A step beyond I think they are switching to string drive. fleib | |
| Zeta Give out? It's built like a med mass tank. The early models had 4 bearings, but all the rest were 5. Tell you the truth I couldn't hear any difference. I think it might have been for longevity. Had it on a Studietto, but gave it up in a move. ... | |
| Tonearm cable recommendations Belden 1505 F is 17 pF/ft. A delicate job though. Check the orientation of the Linn connector. You need a right angle plug with Linn. Nice table.Best regards,http://www.bluejeanscable.com/pages/technicaldocs/1505Ftech.htm | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster,I posted a bunch of vintage spec sheets although I'm not sure if Grace was among them. You can find the spec on VE database. Despite reports to the contrary, most of those specs are dead-on. I supplied some specs myself - mfg. data shee... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Live is where it's at. Git to NYC or get your hometown to play some great live music. It's a shame what some towns call the real deal. Recorded music is a minification of a real musical event. A studio session is a real musical event, so w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? AFAIK Grace was the only company who used a .2 mil ellip for 4-ch. Shibata was developed for the format - high frequency tracing. It's come back into vogue, and rightfully so IMO. Sweetens the high end, and if you noticed, Ortofon uses it on the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster,Who else used a .2 x .7 mil elliptical for 4-ch. ?Regards, | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster,AFAIK, Grace was the only company to use a .2 x .7 mil elliptical for 4-ch tracing. That minor radius is sufficient for required high frequency reproduction. Beryllium was phased out in early '80s due to highly toxic dust. It's interes... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Men happen to be a minority on this planet. Men are discriminated against, by the politically correct women who want to dominate. Males mature later than females and their inattention in early grades penalizes them by overworked and underpaid teac... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 40 cu ? It's about half that amount. Regarding reliability problems with vintage Unitrac and my Sonus Formula 4 - batches of defective returns were found and sold as NOS to unsuspecting consumers. I had to replace the bakelite (?) cueing platfor... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Smctigue1,You might have trouble finding a SME III in great condition. Do you know how to take a quick check of the vertical bearings? It was a popular low mass arm back in the day, but has a bad reputation among the audiofool crowd using low cu ... |
