| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! mijostyn.....you seem to have a surfeit of opinion and not much awareness. I don’t need to be instructed on turntable setup, I’ve done it for over 40 years. I’ve personally owned an SME V. Grado Lab, ESL, Ortofon, Rega, Thorens, Helios, and probab... | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! In my experience, all cables sound different in different systems. I have all Ayre electronics....Ayre recommended Cardas to me. As a matter of fact, Ayre cables are actually Cardas manufactured and just a bit different from the branded cables. ... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! Lewn....what I'm writing in my post above is that when listening, I can clearly hear that when using skating with my VPI there is shrinking of stage, a closing of the spaces between the instruments, etc. This may be because of my specific tonea... | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! cabalaska......My original Ortofon Winfield was internally wired incorrectly right out the new box...was quickly replaced.

What I hear is that with a/s, the spaces around the instruments are more filled in.....it may be resonance with the a/s device. (I have one of those VPI arms with 2nd pivot). Once you hear the effect, its... | |
| Diffuser or absorber behind listening position....and is it worth doing?? In my experience, that would do little, glass windows are no good, even with the blinds drawn. I found putting rug in front of the speakers helpful. | |
| Help! Antiskate with only a weight...no dial, and she's skating away! I know that Im starting a war, but in MY system... with Ortofon Winfield, no a/s sounds better to me. A/s closes in and shortens the aural picture. | |
| Best Wireless ear buds for SOUND..??! I have Grado wired in ear phones and saw they just came out with wireless. The Grados I have are wonderful...Haven't heard the wireless, but you can buy them on Amazon with a no cost return. | |
| I must be old I enjoy CD's also (Ayre silver disc player), but vinyl has more depth, air, realism, that CD's rarely provide (Winfield cart) | |
| System Enhancement CD I have the Purist Audio, and the Ayre CD's . The Ayre works better in my system than does the Purist. | |
| Spectral or Ayre (combo) I have an all Ayre system.....recommend them highly | |
| Upgrading my table - your thoughts... The Benz is a very good cartridge.....I don't think you'll get what you suspect by getting a better table. | |
