| Alternative mat for SME turntable CLARIFICATION to snackeyp, what I meant to say was that the sound with the Origin Live mat on the SME is not very good, tried it again over the weekend and the same. The sound with the stock SME mat is just way better, much clearer with reverb ar... | |
| Alternative mat for SME turntable Thanks snackeyp the sound with the sme mat isn’t very good, so far anything else seems to dull the sound, I do have an Oyaide BR-one mat, very thin, will give that a go. My platter has a mark on the side from the previous owner, sending it to SME ... | |
| Alternative mat for SME turntable Hello snackeypThe material on the SME platter is quite delicate and even the washer for clamp leaves a mark over time, stain it a little and that is it, it becomes permanent. Was just thinking out loud I could find an alternative mat that would i... | |
| Stylus Force Gauge I suggest no one go near the Canrong, had one for three years used it only once and this week the LED display was all over the place. Used the thing only once, even changed the batteries, going to look for a better, more solid alternative. 75.00 f... | |
| Swapping Tonearms on a VPI Aries- anyone? Wait a minute? I am thinking of buying an Aries, you telling me they screw the armboard on the plinth using wood screws only? There is no threading involved? Can you confirm this? | |
| Laser assembly for YBA CD1a Nice, I have thought of adding a DAC rather than dumping it for something else which is why I am looking to see what assembly they use. Plurison which repairs them has quite a few lasers stocked but they will not tell me so I won't ask which is wh... | |
| Laser assembly for YBA CD1a This is why I am asking, it is in that gun metal grey finish and is very striking. Right now keeping it for looks alone so would like to stock up on some lasers then get something more current. | |
| SME 10 or Aries 3 with SME IV Oh guys one more question regarding the acrylic platter that VPI uses, I suppose over time it discolors and looks horrific? I know I am talking about looks but have seen some Origin Lives with the old acrylic platter and they looked horrific. Is V... | |
| SME 10 or Aries 3 with SME IV Hey Peterayer, I agree with you that is where I am leaning towards; getting one used between 3500-4000 I love the idea that you unpack it, add oil and a little bit more every year (just a drop) and enjoy the music. Brilliant!!! Imagine how I lived... | |
| SME 10 or Aries 3 with SME IV Hey what about the Xerxes .20? Any thoughts? I personally think it can't hold a candle to the SME10 or VPI but still... | |
| SME 10 or Aries 3 with SME IV I agree with everything SME10 says which is why this table is on my short list. Consider the small footprint, bullet proof construction and quite possibly in my opinion the most ingenious construction of any turntable I have seen for the price. Ye... | |
| SME 10 or Aries 3 with SME IV So from what I can read Stanwal is that I would not be yearning for an SME 10 if I went for an Aries. Am I correct in assuming this? I know the SME might be the best thing built out there, but come one guys the price hike this table has gone throu... | |
| SME 10 or Aries 3 with SME IV I am curious why do you think the SME IV will disappoint. I have heard it on a Delphi MK V and was impressed. Or are you saying it would disappoint on an Aries? Are you not concerned about the 25 lb super platter weight on the bearing? | |
| Xerxes .20 or Michell Orbe Yes, I have thought of those as well but the dealer network here in Canada is a little restricted. | |
| Xerxes .20 or Michell Orbe Hmm, I have thought of this can you be more specific with your non-suspended table suggestions? |
