| Sound and Music Not at all RV. 90 % of my listening is in the shop to 4 old Mirage speakers, Adcom electronics, streamed from the main system. The speakers are put in the only location available for them which is way off axis and there is no listening position, b... | |
| 20 Years? Thinking is dangerous. | |
| Cueing Lever Issue - Repairable or Replace? It is also possible that the lever slipped. In addition to raising the height check to see if the lever has a set screw. If it does you may be able to adjust it. | |
| Thinking about switching cartridges. @tomic601 Peter calls it jitter. I call it miss-tracking. I have heard the Red but not the Blue. They are good cartridges, but I prefer the Soundsmith, The Zephyr MIMC is 2K and a great value. Soundsmith's customer service is second to none. I ca... | |
| One DAC to Rule it All @eddnog That is not a fair comparison. The DEQX Pre 4 is a $10,000 unit. I will have a lot more to say in a week or so as my DEQX Pre 8 will be delivered this Tuesday. @koestner Great solution! I had Velodyne subs way back. Eventually the surrou... | |
| Thinking about switching cartridges. @rauliruegas I never said you can not replace just the stylus tip of some cartridges. Some manufacturers like Soundsmith mount the stylus themselves. I also think the RP 10 is a great table and arm as long as you put it on an isolation platform. I... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @lewm It is not my model. It is my test. Freude schoner gotterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feurertruncken, Himmlischer dein Heiligtum:-) | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @neonknight VTF and antiskate not VTA and antiskate. My mistake. @pindac That's it! You are an oddball. Glad you figured that out:-) I was getting worried. @tomic601 The only person more arrogant than you is me:-) The lyra has less needle tal... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @neonknight @atmasphere @lewm , I have scoped it out, The problem is the dropped counter weight. It runs into the back of the plinth. Yes it will fit. If you cut the back of the plinth away at the right rear corner behind the tonearm well. Yo... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @pindac see my note to Lewm above. I want you to turn the gain on your microphone preamp up all the way and make a recording of the needle talk of each mat doing the 9th and we'll figure out which one is best. | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @lewm I can only make rules for myself. No one else has to listen. Simple test. Turn off all the fans and the refrigerator and put on the forth movement of Beethoven's 9th. If you hear needle talk from one foot out you need to change something to ... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @neonknight Shame it isn't a 9 incher. You could put it on the Cosmos and the Tri Planar on the Scheu or better yet a Schroder LT. I would sell the 11" CB the SME and the TriPlanar (it has too many parts anyway), get a 9" CB for the Cosmos and ... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @neonknight Frank Schroder is a watch maker. All the adjustments on are simple and very effective. You have to have a light touch with everything. Each cartridge gets a mounting plate which is marked for location with a very sharp awl. With the ... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @pindac I think good platters can be made of many different materials. Of greater importance is the quality of the bearing and the interface between the record and the platter. To pass energy to the platter efficiently the mat has to have the same... | |
| Questions Regarding Installing a Wheaton Triplanar On A SOTA Cosmos @neonknight The Tri Planar will not fit on a Cosmos, not even close. The two best arms that will fit are the Kuzma 4 Point 9 and my personal favorite, the Schroder CB. The CB is way more sophisticated than it looks which is deceptively simple. Pet... |
