| Recommend which SPU? The Royal with the replicant 100 stylus is in our opinion (a friendof mine owns one) neither fish nor fowl. It has not the resolutionof a Lyra or ZYX and not the typical charming SPU-sound. I understand this criticism, and agree with it to a deg... | |
| Recommend which SPU? Yes, it is glossy. | |
| Recommend which SPU? @chakster , Right, but I’m talking about the Royal GM MkII, NOT the Royal GM. Please look at the link I supplied above and tell me if that SPU is different from the one you’re talking about. Based on the following specs, I'd say they are the same.... | |
| Recommend which SPU? @chakster , I think dhcod might have been speaking to the dissimilarity of the names, yours and mine: the Royal G MkII v. Royal GM MkII. I’m guessing they are identical, perhaps with the "G" marketed in Japan, but I could be wrong.Here’s the one I... | |
| Recommend which SPU? I sometimes use a Royal GM MkII with that tonearm and like it a lot. At just 0.2mV, it requires a pretty good, high gain phono sage or a 1:30 SUT, in my experience. | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue On Raul's behalf, I'll interject that I am not the OP, just someone who chimed in. Ralph, while your solution did help me, the OP has yet to say whether it helped him. So Raul is correct when he says: Btw, the OP on this thread does not posted yet... | |
| MONO cartridge recommendation @folkfreak, Ah, sorry to bother. A quick search reveals my mistake. This was your good advice to me in that earlier thread: I wonder if you could not make up a simple cable which adds the two channels together and gives you the effect of a mono sw... | |
| MONO cartridge recommendation @folkfreak , I seem to recall from an earlier thread on the Zero that you run a custom mono phono cable to eliminate hum. What manufacturer made it for you? I’ve been eying this cartridge for along time but I have no mono switch on my preamps or p... | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue that post tell us that was you not Triplanar whom fixed the problem because the advise Triplanar gave you not works. Dear @rauliruegas , I know you mean well, but you have misread my post. I did not say that I asked Tri for advice. I only asked f... | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue I agree with cleeds. I’m not sure where Raul and others are getting this inflammatory business about Tri being unwilling or unable to fix this or any other issue with his tonearm. I certainly never asked Tri to adjust my anti-skate, nor claimed he... | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue Yes, the wiring was my first thought, too. I've played around with the cable to no effect. Perhaps there is some torquing of the internal wiring within the arm tube/pivot, I don't know, but that's beyond my skill to check. And as I've been able t... | |
| Switching to solid state amp? I second Lak’s suggestion above to look at Plinius. I have an SA-103 in the same rack with a VAC 300.1a, switching back and forth depending on mood. The Plinius more than holds its own. It does not have quite the HF extension and sparkle of the VA... | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue @shayes002: I, too, have noticed a high amount of native anti-skate in my Triplanar VII uii. Nothing like yours but still quite a bit. The armboard and table are perfectly level, and all parameters are set with reliable tools. Tri sent me a lighte... | |
| Are tuners still popular They are still popular with me. I have three, and listen to at least one every day. | |
| Clearaudio Innovation Wood or shoot for the stars Techdas AF 3 If I were you, I'd wait for the new Technics before dropping that dime.FWIW, I owned an Innovation Wood with Universal Arm for a couple of years, with Graham Phantom II in second position. While I liked it well enough, I never really loved it (eve... |
