| td-01 chinese tonearm? Nope, thats not it. I have a Hadcock and its not what I am thinking of. Maybe a Helius or a Basis Vector. 3 balls creating a triangle, with a 4th ball in the center and raised above the other 3. Maybe I just thought of it? | |
| How can anyone afford this ? I'd be happy to discuss politics, economics and/or religion with any of my bretheren, but I doubt it can be done in this forum. So back to the original post. Yes, you can achieve most of the best for 5k, especially if you go used. Once you get the... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Absolutely, a countries overall wealth and financial condition is based on a strong middle class, but that is achieved by the poor rising up, not the rich being dragged down. Unfortunately, many in America have decided that they are entitled to li... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? JDoris,Yes both can be true if you only consider new financial wealth, rather than the distribution of existing wealth through socialistic programs and other means. | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? I think the ball would have to be solidly in the receiver for this tonearm to work at all, with the weight of the tonearm holding it in place like any other unipivot, otherwise it would be swinging around all over the place. Armstrod is right that... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? The problem in the world is that we just cannot sustain the standard of living that was enjoyed by our middle class that consisted mainly of our baby boomers. At that time, the world was our oyster, and it was easy to spread the wealth around. But... | |
| td-01 chinese tonearm? where do you think the string goes after it leaves the top of the tonearm. I assume it is attached to the ceramic ball, and that the weight of the arm holds the ball into its oil dampened socket and the string is just used to keep the arm aligned ... | |
| Next ANalog Upgrade Question Make the jump to at least vpi level. While the Project and Music Hall are fine tables, and made by the same factory, they are in the same league as your Thorens and no where near a VPI or SME | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Satisfaction in this hobby can come from understanding quality vs quantity. Price is rarely an indicator of the former, after a certain point. There are savings to be had from mass production, even in the high end, while one-off items or low volum... | |
| Phonomena, vs PS GCPH, Others? The main advantage to me for the GCPH is that I can use it directly into my amplifier with no preamp in between. And this is using my Dynavector 17d2. I would assume that if I ran it into a line preamp, I would have much more headroom and therefor... | |
| Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter? I am in the process of building a turntable made entirely of Delrin which I understand is as close to a metal as you can get in a polyvinyl product. Fabricators love it because it machines so well, and holds its shape under load. Enought that you ... | |
| Stand out phono stages I really like the sound and convenience of my PS Audio GCPH. My prior reference was a McCormack Phono Drive. Otherwise I have used various phono inputs on preamps, Cambridge p640, parasound ph100, nad and project phono preamps and Bellari VP530. | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned I currently own 2 Sota Star Sapphires, 3 Oracle Delphis, 1 VPI HW19, 1 Oracle Alexandria, 3 Sony TTS3000 and 1 Sony 2250. I have previously owned other Sotas, Rega P3 and various Japanese direct drive turntables. | |
| Advice on restarting vinyl playback after 30 years I run a PS Audio GCPH straight into my amplifier using the gain control on the GCPH and have no problem reaching any volume I desire. I use the balanced output to balanced input on my Classe CA100. Very nice, clean sound and cuts out any middleman... | |
| Troubles with Sound-Smith return communications? I had two cartridges done last year. took about 4 months each. Had a few communication problems with email, but got sorted out. However, I have tried to get an RMA on two more cartridges for the past 3 months with no response to email, so I do und... |
