VPI Scout to Michell Orbe SE A few over at vinyl asylum prefers the thinner platter Gyrodec to the Orbe, but yes, majority do prefer Orbe. I had a Gyro SE and have gone through the process of upgrading it up to Orbe level and just giving you my honest opinion. It's not aways ... | |
VPI Scout to Michell Orbe SE Michell Orbe and Gyrodec sounds very much different from each other. The Orbe sounds noticably darker due to the denso damp that Michell applies and the thicker platter. The Gyrodec sounds lighter, slightly faster.I wouldn't say the Orbe is head a... | |
Gyrodec arm suggestions help? The SME arms were used during the design of the Michell tables, I would think it'll be a good match. I've also use the Morch DP-6 with excellent results when I had your table. | |
"New" arm? The Morch DP-6 is actually a dual pivot so it doesn't flop around like a uni. I find the DP-6 sounds even better after a couple glasses of out of date grape juice;) | |
RB300 Rewire or Graham Robin for my Gyrodec ? If you rewire your rega with pure silver wire, this makes a big difference. I followed directions from a page called Hotrod Rega a few years ago but can't seem to find it anymore. If you need a recommendation for silver wires let me know. The whol... | |
"New" arm? How about a Morch arm, they are within your budget used and have different arm wand options to match a variety of cartridge. Not sure if it's significantly better than your FT-3, but the Morch is just a hair under today's top arm. | |
questions for TW Acustic Raven One owner Thanks for all the input guys.Jdolgin, may I ask what's your system, what table did you have before? | |
questions for TW Acustic Raven One owner My arm also uses silver wiring plus my phono and cart is extremely revealing so I think the Raven One will fit in well. I do plan on adding the ttweights copper mat for some top end sparkle if neccessary.Jaspert, what table did you end up going to? | |
questions for TW Acustic Raven One owner I will be using the R1 with ZYX airy 3 cart., Morch DP 6 arm, and Tom Evans the Groove phono. My cart and phono are extremely detailed and high resolution, this combo borders on brightness at times in which I've already tamed with my cabling. I th... | |
Hum...ZYX with Tom Evans Groove Need suggestions I did get the hum resolved today!!!Moved the amps away from the Groove, the hum remained. So I moved the preamp further away from the Groove by switching places with the CD player on the rack. The system is much quieter now...the Groove is not the... | |
What is the most analog sounding CD player under $ Try the Vincent Audio tube cd player, very analog sounding and within your price range used. The hard part is finding it used though. I owned it for 3 years so I'm very familiar. | |
Hum...ZYX with Tom Evans Groove Need suggestions Thanks for all the input guys...haven't had a chance to try your suggestions due to my busy schedule.Connorjr33, was it your amp or preamp power supply that was causing the hum? | |
Surround Speakers for B&W Why not go for a pair of B&W M-1 or the older LM-1 for surrounds. | |
Hum...ZYX with Tom Evans Groove Need suggestions Yes, I have tried different interconnects with different geometries, the slight hum remains. A fellow on a different forum recommended that I open up and add another ground to the Groove which I have done but it didn't improve. I will probably be ... |
