| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed Lewm, the analog of a friction bearing is not strictly correct. The effects are similar when considering the influence of stylus drag though - both act as a low-pass filter for vibrations and speed variations. As for a freely spinning platter vs. ... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed One table I forgot to mention in my previous post:Frank Schroeder has designed a new table which has an interesting idea for using a tape drive. I think it will be marketed by Artemis. Soundwise it is little of an unknown although you know what to... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed Dougdeacon, I complete agree with your assessment on the Scout. For the price it is an excellent table but the next step (as I mentioned already above) bring huge improvements in analog playback. Just a quick comment on one of your points as I thi... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed As for the analog-digital comparison: I agree my friends Esoteric beats his Scout on several levels as well. That is not true anymore when you step up to a more top end table - my compact DPS with Lyra Argo and JLTI phono does pretty much everythi... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed If you look closely you will see that the Target shelf passes through the back panel of the entertainment center. It is bolted to a piece of 5/8 birch ply that is screwed to wall studs. The table is literally floating within the entertainment cent... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed Moreover, I have a bad feeling about enclosing the tt on five sides (top, bottom, right, left, and rear); the tt radiates noise and vibrations into the air around it and the enclosing surfaces may also be resonating due to that effect. Better to m... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed I feel that the next level up for the Scout in analog is probably the biggest improvement. I spent many years with several very good turntables (Scout, Michell Tecnodec, P3, Linn Basic) but was never completely satisfied on all account in comparis... | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced Lyra ArgoSeveral months ago I would certainly have said Denon DL103. However, the increase in performance for the money is unbelievable when going to the Argo. The Argo has the punch, life and boldness of the Denon with added refinement and resolu... | |
| On the Fence with Analog Vs. Digital. Need Help Ive considered going with possibly a tube DAC, or a tube preamp, but since I dont have the money to spend on both a tube preamp and a new DAC at once, its hard to decide which is more important.There are a couple of good tube preamps in the $50... | |
| On the Fence with Analog Vs. Digital. Need Help Jwglista, what city are you in or close by? What music are you listening to?Depending on where you are, I am sure there is someone in your are that will let you listen and could mentor you with vinyl. Finally, hit the local used record shops, brow... | |
| On the Fence with Analog Vs. Digital. Need Help In your case, I would try to get into tube gear before getting into vinyl - getting into vinyl at this stage without any collection is difficult. I took the jump 15 years ago when everyone was getting out and records were easily available on my st... | |
| Trichord Dino power lead - any good? The Dino is an excelllent phonostage and good value for money (I used to own one too). However, if you add in the powerlead, I would rather save my money for a better phonostage. There are some real nice choices in the $2k range I would consider: ... | |
| Preamp question about loudness The only thing a preamp will do is increase the output voltage of your CDP by a some factor given by the gain (usually in dB). However whether this increases loudness compared to your current solution depends on the maximum voltage output of your ... | |
| STEP UP transformers ?? I would consider the more affordable step-up units like Lundahl and Cinemag until you decide about the phonostage. Your future phonostage might offer excellent MC inputs or high quality internals step-ups. Also, there is a better version of the Lu... | |
