| Clear audio professional or klaudio record cleaner I have no idea whether it has any ultrasonic transducer, but the RW600 certainly cleans way better than the VPI HW17. My actual concern is (if it indeed has ultrasonic transducer) how can I tell whether it is still working after 1, 2, 3 years. I... | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? I could be wrong, but I doubt you could find any white paper specifically on turntable suspension. The audio industry just doesn't seem to publish that detail. You would have better luck looking into industrial products like TMC: http://www.tech... | |
| Pass Labs vs ARC It was not a direct comparison of the Ref 2SE and the XP25, but early last year we did a phono shootout involving the Ref 2SE and the dual Xono, among other phonos. As the name implies, the dual Xono setup utilized 2 sets of Xono, but used only ... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea signature phono stage Hi Lewm, what is the value of those output caps in the Janus / Rhea ? Thanks | |
| MIDAS aluminum shell I am a friend of Diawok and I have told him about this thread.He said his ad. on Audiogon had just expired, and he would renew it soon. | |
| XP25 vs Reference Phono 2 SE If you have the chance, you may want to try a dual Pass Xono set up (using 2 sets of Xonos, and only use one channel on each), I think you will have a pleasant surprise.In a phono shootout among my group last year, we ranked the dual Xono right up... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? No, the P3a was from a friend in Hong Kong, and the SP10MK3 from Yahoo Japan. Actually, a local Sony PS X9 slipped through my fingers just a couple on months ago! | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I wish I have a Sirius III, but no such luck yet! My Rockport 6000 arm is a simplified version of the Sirius III arm, and it is on a Capella II TT.However, I am also in the process of setting up a Sirius II, so it would be interesting nevertheless... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Halco, I was also blown away the first time I auditioned the Sirius III at the dealer over 10 years ago! However, I didn't notice any lack of mid-bass to lower-bass definition and power, maybe due to the different setup. Not sure about the air-... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Rockport came the closest with its Sirius III Hi Halco, just wonder whether you have any measurement figures on the Rockport Sirius III, with Timeline or otherwise. I am really interested to see how the Sirius III compares to vintage Japanese DD ... | |
| Clear audio professional or klaudio record cleaner A word of caution to anyone getting the RW600, make sure you try it out with some trashed LP for the first few washes. Our group ordered a few RW600s, while most were fine, there was one unit that caused heat damage to the LP in the lead-in groove... | |
| Most suitable and effective isolation platform You may want to take a look at the TMC, the platform under the Rockport turntables http://www.techmfg.com/products/labtables/CleanBench.html | |
| Van Den Hul what is the best cart ? I went from a Benz LPS to an Ortofon Winfield Hi Stringreen, I also went from the Colibri to the Ortofon A90. While I prefer the A90 overall, I still miss the treble of the Colibri. I have recently acquired the A95, but not yet have time to set i... | |
| Van Den Hul what is the best cart ? I have 2 Colibris, one copper coil, another platinum coil, both with the plastic bodies. My experience mirrored many of the comments in this thread.Sound. The Colibri sounds very fast and airy, it has the best treble of all the cartridges that I h... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Ideally they do not allow vibration to go the other way (they are mechanical diodes) Can Ralph, or other knowledgeable members, please educate me on this? Is it a scientific fact that points / cones really act as a mechanical diodes?I have heard ... |
