| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. I disagree that the Mint is easy to use. It is pretty difficult to pick up the parallax. I have two Mints and they will likely never see the light of day again. I also have the same protractor pictured above (btw, it is nice to see that this site ... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? I won't waste bandwidth by quoting Ralph's post of today at 3:35 pm but it echoes what I have been trying to say in this thread. Take a well designed no frills drive like a Gem Dandy or PureFidelity (among any number of other candidates), fit it w... | |
| Different R2R DACs I have reached a state of zen in which I feel no need or desire to extoll the virtues of my particular choice of R2R DAC. As CharlesDad noted-once again as he tends to hit the nail on head-it is a matter of implementation. System synergy and indiv... | |
| Thinking of buying a pair of Splendor D7.2... I am reviving this thread to comment upon this surprise-who would believe that the Spendor D7.2's could sound great with 8 watts? I had a feeling they would play loud enough for my smallish room but had no idea they would sound as good as they do.... | |
| Dealing with UK's Classic Turntable Company Well...a year ago I tried to buy a second PSU from Ray as I have two vintage decks. He sells a PSU that is compatible with both the Thorens TD124 motor and Garrard 301 as both are induction motors. I had purchased one from him before along with a ... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Regarding the Philharmonicauudio towers I have no basis to comment upon their sound as I have not heard them but I can identify those boxes as being a variant of the ones used by Acoustic Zen and undoubtedly from the same Chinese factory. A dozen ... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! The polarized thoughts on Audio Note is fascinating (to me). The comment either in this thread or the other thread that the AN gear can not reproduce large scale such as orchestras is valid. But what AN does do well it does exceedingly well-it sou... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! @douglas_schroeder Mr. Schroeder, it is no easy task to tell when you are being serious and when you are not. Your history of posting is nothing to be proud of. Whether you are self-aware or not your subjective views are so far in the minority as ... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! @salectric Get a grip for Christ's sake! I never said my views were correct or real or objective or anything close other than being my views.No different than your view that HW's ugly JBL loudspeakers sounded great while others here were unimpress... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! When I think of shows I think of Art Dudley. If memory serves he went to one and after a day he was found in a room playing his guitar. I also think of the police convention in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I have been. I am done. I can see th... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? J. Tull’s second LP. Clapton's third solo LP; "There's one in every crowd" Mike Morrow. Great product with additional set up advise. Mike provided addition discount and burn in time just to improve my experience. ... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend I have been following this thread from the beginning. My very subjective opinion is that you can not "intuit" your way into audio assumptions. This thread involves an assumption that if you keep the music server constant the DAC comparisons are va... | |
| Settings for Lyra Etna Cartridge I like mine at 470 but I use a Reed 3P with Firewire and Steelhead. At 100 things sound very slightly wooly. | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content Are there audio equipment manufacturers/producers in Russia? Why do you own American/European components? | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content I will take that to mean you are KGB. I am from Russia. At least, my grandparents were. From a long-gone village named Slutzk. My real last name was Telushkin before it got shortened. |
