| Ferrite cores on cables Ferrite cores will strip away frequencies that are intended to be heard. | |
| Origin Live Tonearms @noromance you have a nice analogue rig. Your comment on not using anti skate on your 12" tonearm because it sounds better is what I typically hear from others. I personally believe that tonearm science is very much an art where the slightest litt... | |
| Stylus gauge recommendations ? The Ortofon tracking force gauge at $165.00 should be an engineering marvel. I had an $8.00 milkshake a couple days ago, it was really worth it! | |
| Origin Live Tonearms It may be a generational thing but I've heard older friends of mine say that they believe tonearms sound better with the anti-skate off. Also, I've read where certain tonearm makers have claimed that a 12 inch tonearm is long enough not to need an... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms @pindac All-right, I misunderstood. So you're involved in research and development. I'm assuming you get paid for this? I had a friend, now passed, who I had encouraged to develop a tonearm due to his level of skill, experience and knowledge but h... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms @mijostyn Then why are so many twelve inch tonearms intentionally made without anti skate? | |
| Origin Live Tonearms These tonearms, do they have a product name? Are they in the public domain? I’m just wondering. My understanding is that a 12 inch tonearm need not be hindered by anti skate and that this fact alone gives the longer tonearm an advantage. This is a... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms @pindac Interesting, I've gotten mixed opinions about the SME tonearms. Originally, it was suggested to me that if I wanted a good but less expensive option in choosing a turntable, that a Thorens TD 160 was a good place to start but that some mod... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms @drrsutliff Given you've tried those OL tonearms and have a good opinion of the Encounter is encouraging. As mentioned, my sole purpose for this table is to make it a dedicated mono turntable with a very good cartridge, so I expect that the vertic... | |
| Origin Live Tonearms @noromance Actually didn't know how right you were. However, I've decided to wait until I can afford the Encounter. I believe I'd be much happier with that arm than either the Silver or the Zephyr. Also, I just upgraded my renderer/streamer so I n... | |
| Educate me about DSD ‘If a title was actually recorded in DSD, then it’s DSD but if it was converted to DSD, then it’s only a shell’, so a recording engineer told me. He also explained that a DSD recording must play straight through from the beginning to end because y... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 @lewm The best advice I could give to a newbie is to buy a belt driven transcription type turntable. But even that comment would be met with disapproval. I’d also try educating that person on the various types of tonearms and how adding an after ... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 @lewm the best turntable under $4,000.00, I never made such a claim but this Realistic isn’t the first table in it’s class to be mentioned here. I read the original post but the conversation has been meandering from page one. The Technics is the b... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 An underrated turntable on the cheap, | |
| Best turntable under $4000 Acoustic Solid is similar to Transrotor but less expensive. You can buy one without the tonearm if you wanted to upgrade. Thomas Schick seems to be a fan of EMT turntables. Rega is a pretty safe option. |
