| What do I look for in used records? Having bought several hundred used records in the past year, here are my observations.I have looked closely at my used records which have persistent noise under a microscope and found that they have a slight roughness or tearing to the otherwise s... | |
| Owners of the JA Michell SE turntable..question. If your talking about the button on top of the motor - mine lights up. | |
| Calling all analog experts Doug, Caterham, Sayas, Eldartford and Jsonic,I would reiterate my willingness (and I think Doug's) to host a comparison of the alteratives (e.g. my lower cost Michell Gyro, vs, Doug's "ultimate in analog" Teres) (P.S. Doug if we arrange it at your... | |
| Calling all analog experts There is no question that the Teres is a fine table deserving of consideration in any hgh end system but of course it all comes down to price for performance. I paid $1000 for my 6 month old Michell Gyro. Gyro's can be readily had for $1200 or so ... | |
| Calling all analog experts I think statements like "it beats the holy crap out of anything in its price range" are more than a bit of exageration. I have heard the Teres, in fact Doug was generous enough to allow me to listen to his, which, while it cetainly had some margin... | |
| what to do before you get the vpi record cleaner? Before you spend any serious money on a record cleaning machine check out the "record cleaning" thread for my home made record vac. A VPI or any other record VAC is just a simple vacuum which you can make yourself at a fraction of the cost. This i... | |
| Seperate phono stage v.s. step up transformer Thank you for your response Romy. Now, anyone else? | |
| Seperate phono stage v.s. step up transformer Excuse me... I hate to break in on this raging debate and name-calling but I still have questions related to the original premise of this thread ... namely the merits of a separate phono stage vs. transformer.I recently had the pleasure of listeni... | |
| goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant Talk to Ed at Integrity in Music on the Silas Deane Highway in Weathersfield. (Route 99) They got a 100 classical albums in not long ago that are selling for $1 each. They just put up a new website at www.members.cox.net/integritynmusicand they ha... | |
| Check this out I can't say I'm quite ready to spend $6500 on a TT (notwithstanding your arguements) but I would love to hear a Teres, (even an acrylic base one) and compare it to my Michell Gyro. Where do you live? I am in Central CT, but I get around the countr... | |
| Check this out Yes I realize it works with green (or water logged) wood. You would treat the wood while green then let it dry. I believe it has been used by woodworkers successfully on a wide variety of wood densities. Many turned bowls and vases are made from t... | |
| Check this out One final response to Dan ed ....I say wet wood because all wood is wet at some level. The cell structure of wood makes it like a sponge, even when kiln dried, the moisture content is only reduced, never eliminated and will still change to be in e... | |
| Check this out Actually MDF will not change with temp and humidity. I once soaked a piece of MDF in water for days and could not measure the change with a micrometer. I can't speak for acrylic as I am not sufficiently familiar with the characteristics but perhap... | |
| goodbye to vinyl. . . . grr ------ longish rant Pbb,I can empathize with you. I invested about $3000 recently to get back into vinyl with a Michell Gyro, OL Silver arm, Shelter 501 cartridge and Sonic Frontiers signature phono stage. (I think the PH3 is better but I got a great steal on the SF)... | |
| Check this out TWL, Do you work for Teres or have some other vested interest here? Sorry but, your defensiveness to reasonable questioning of this issue leads me to question your motives. I simply point out to others that they should carefully research the subje... |
