March 22, 201214 yr comment_505392 The writer says it allows you to press your own records, which is completely wrong. It cuts records, doesn't press them. From that cutting a pressing could be made, but not with that machine. Also you're only going to get as the good as the source material, so unless you want to create a duplicate of a treasured vinyl album, I don't really see the point. An MP3 cut into vinyl is still going to sound as good or bad as the original MP3. Report

April 4, 201214 yr comment_507762 I can see the race to be the first one to get their turntable running at 3rpm exactly will be brutal! Many lives will be lost. I have an old Denon DD table with a good bit of speed adjustment. I would think that using a Variac on a table like that should work? Edited April 4, 201214 yr by ironbut Report

I have an old Denon DD table with a good bit of speed adjustment. I would think that using a Variac on a table like that should work? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!1111111 Dont use the variac! The speed control is all done by computers. Running the TT on a variac will not get enough voltage to the regulators.... Much better to use a record clamp on top of your DD TT to drive a belt drive TT. Report

April 28, 201214 yr comment_511745 Anyone have suggestions for a phono-stage with a true balanced output? I'm considering either XOno or Ayre PX-5 right now, but leaning more towards the Ayre since I found the Ono a touch on the dry side in my system. Report

April 28, 201214 yr comment_511808 XP-15! More than I'd like to spend I think I will be going Ayre unless anyone has any other suggestions in the ~ $1500 range. Report
April 28, 201214 yr comment_511812 I respect that. I have heard the most improvement out of my phono stage upgrades. NP says the new topology is a very nice step up, hence my curiosity. Report
April 28, 201214 yr comment_511813 I have heard the most improvement out of my phono stage upgrades. I've heard this from a few people including the person who sold me the my current table. Good to hear it confirmed. Report
April 28, 201214 yr comment_511816 More than I'd like to spend I think I will be going Ayre unless anyone has any other suggestions in the ~ $1500 range. Please get the Ayre so you can tell me how it is. I have been thinking of getting it for awhile to simplify the main rig with all Ayre components. Report
May 17, 201214 yr comment_515266 Vinyl newbie question - A new old transport has been keeping me busy on the digital side and after a few weeks of non-use my vinyl has crazy sibilance. Have tried tube changes and other settings on phono stage, slid around tracking weight, azimuth looks good (though will investigate more). Anything else to consider before I start to worry about the cart (which seems less likely as occured from non-use, but still...)? BTW, this if for an Ace Space. Edited May 17, 201214 yr by blessingx Report
May 17, 201214 yr comment_515277 Have you checked VTA? Seems one of the few things which may change. If the screws holding the arm's height are a bit loose, VTA might have changed. The other dreadful chance is that the cleaning lady has "worked" on the cart. BTW, the record you listened was one you know well and you're sure wasn't sibilant before? Maybe listening to other LPs you don't find it that sibilant. Report
May 19, 201214 yr comment_515729 Thanks for the advice guys. Finally had time to reset things and I'm guessing it was the azimuth. Relieved. Does make me wonder if I should have left Regaworld. And the album was the reissue of Shelby Lynne's Just a Little Lovin'. Report
May 19, 201214 yr comment_515749 Reminds me to get some Shelby Lynne music. Meant to do that some time ago. Report
May 19, 201214 yr comment_515758 How did you adjust azimuth on the AceSpace? I thought the only way is to add spacers to the headshell. Report
May 19, 201214 yr comment_515768 Azimuth, as in lateral needle tilt, can't be changed on the AceSpace unless you use rings, spacers or similar tricks. My guess is that he changed VTA. Report
May 19, 201214 yr comment_515773 This is a trick I learned on the Pink Fish Media forum, but I assumed Ric didn't do this "mod". If you apply some force to the black piece that holds the counterweight it will give, and you can rotate it left and right to adjust azimuth. Similar to how the VPI JMW tonearms do it. My cart's azimuth is electrically aligned at the neutral position so I have not tried this. Report
May 19, 201214 yr comment_515774 That must be exerting some vigorous force on it. Not sure I'd try that on my arm. Fortunately it's not needed Report
May 20, 201214 yr comment_515832 I'm an idiot. What do you call the clockwise/counterclockwise adjustment of the headshell? Report
