May 20, 201214 yr That shelby lynn album has a lot of sibilance, it's not your table. Or if it is, it's my table too, and just on that album.
May 20, 201214 yr What is known as Zenith? Did I win the Daily Double? If the clock-anticlock is seen from the front side, it's Azimuth, but in my modest experience this doesn't have much effect on tonal balance, it's more on channel balance, as the bias (antiskating) setting. Anyway, glad you got it fixed
May 23, 201214 yr Anyone have an idiots guide to capacitance loading? I am looking to help out a friend setup a turntable/cart/phono and want to get the moving magnet loading right. We are going with a stock SL-1200 and I have no clue what the capacitance of the stock cable is either I think this one will be mostly trial and error.
May 23, 201214 yr Um, not for idiots, but the best explanation I've found: http://www.hagtech.com/loading.html
May 25, 201214 yr I have just bought one of those fancy-looking linear tracking vertical turntables, the LT-5V. A drawback of my unit is that currently I have to spin it by hand. I have a problem spinning it manually at 33rpm. It tends to end up too fast or too slow. Are there any courses or similar ways of learning to spin turntables at a perfect speed?
June 5, 201214 yr That's the Wharfedale Isodynamic. I have changed the broken cable and the pads. I have also closed the bass-cancellation vents in the baffle. It's connected through the speaker taps on the Akai.
June 6, 201214 yr What a cool retro system you have!Agreed. Remind me to ping on you when I do that remake of Space:1999 and have you and your apartment make a cameo.
June 6, 201214 yr Remind me to ping on you when I do that remake of Space:1999 and have you and your apartment make a cameo. That's what I thought of when I saw it too. But in the remake who's gonna play...? Edited June 6, 201214 yr by blessingx
June 6, 201214 yr That's obviously Brent^H^H^H^H^H Conan O'Brien with loads of make-up. And possibly a prosthetic.
June 16, 201214 yr Is the VPI Traveler their answer to the Rega RP3? I dunno, that's what it looks like to me.
June 16, 201214 yr Ya the answer to the turntable people and dealers love to rave about all over the web But since VPI doesn't have the shotgun approach dealer distribution of Rega, it will never get as well known.
June 21, 201214 yr http://www.endino.co...aphs/index.html Interesting and sorta surprising. Thanks for sharing. Understandable why the ATR-102 and some of those Studers are so revered.
July 4, 201213 yr I am thinking about getting a Soundsmith Carmen or Otello while these July 4th sales are going on. Anyone have any thoughts? I really like the needle drops I have heard from one of their top carts, so far the best I have heard. Peter Lederman also says the moving irons have significantly less moving mass than MCs. I'm going to give him a call tomorrow and talk through the options.
July 4, 201213 yr I really like the sound the Pater Lederman (sp) gets in his room at RMAF. I played around with the SMMC -1 I think for a bit and liked the sound of it. Not as good as the Atmos but very good

Not as good as the Atmos but very good Thanks John. I spoke to someone at SS and they sold me on the Otello when I was thinking about the Carmen. The Otello is actually cheaper, but salesman said it would be very similar to the Carmen but with a touch more warmth (what I like about my Bloom). Tracking on both is supposed to be exceptional. And the high output of the SS carts means I can stop looking for a high gain phono, I really like the Pearl so that is good news. I'd love to get a Sussoro Paua someday, that cart blows my mind. That thing can track passages that no other cart I've heard can handle.

Nice cartridge. edit, his is the wood bodied Sussoro. Not sure if the extra $$$ for the wood body sounds better or not, but it looks beautiful. Edited July 20, 201213 yr by tom_hankins
August 3, 201213 yr Wonderful! I've always liked a lot the Avid turntables looks. Do you like its sound? Any "flavor" you're aware of?
