| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Hi John,Yes, I understand that to be the precision of the protractor in all regards. Maybe a good question for Yip. I assume that the lines orthogonal to the groove are drawn to the same precision by a computer. When I align on a Mint I am not con... | |
| Why use a super accurate cartridge protractor Protractors are great for aligning horizontal azimuth and effective length with any precision for a given SRA/VTA range. Vertical azimuth, SRA/VTA, and VTF are usually adjusted by ear. Although we can set AZ by eye, that doesn't necessarily equate... | |
| Having an ear for Jazz Yes, I have learned to appreciate good jazz. I have also learned to appreciate classical, opera, and even some country, However, my new found appreciation for an even broader range of music has not made me move away from rock. Just the opposite, i... | |
| Who tweaks VTF too? Wally would agree with you, Zaikesman. I have heard him say pretty much the same thing about how he believes it is VTF changes that we hear when we tweak VTA since the change in SRA is extremely small. I don't adjust for each record, but if I dete... | |
| Leave the turntable running? Why would someone using a ring or screw on clamp even need to comment on this? The person just asked for clarification as to what his dealer was telling him about his Rega and some of you insist on making it a "right/wrong" issue that everyone mus... | |
| Leave the turntable running? I do it all the time. No problems. YMMV. | |
| Music server My neighbor has an Olive. Nice solution, but pricey. I like the idea of streaming from a laptop to an external dac. Anyone try one of the mod'ed units from Bolder Cable? | |
| Is true-biamping now cheaper and easer? My answer to your question is that while there may be cheaper and easier solutions available, the best sounding approaches to bi-amping are neither. IMO. I use QSC 500 watt/ch amp for my bass horns, <100 Hz, but my Marchand xover is much better... | |
| Does anyone "throw away" Lp's ? My decision is based on playback. If I won't play an lp, it belongs in the trash. | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Should have, would have, could have. Pretty much sums it up.There, but for the grace of God, go I. | |
| GIK, Rives, Real Traps Great advice so far. GIK and Real Traps are the real deal. (Pardon the pun.) Pop over to the acoustic circle on AudioCircle and you can usually converse directly with Ethan and Brian, as well as a few other acoustic dudes. If you aren't going for ... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Ah, atmasphere, the "I'm a Pro" trump card. I'll ask you a question. Just how much time did you ACTUALLY spend with any Talea. At RMAF last year I watched a guy walk into a room, over to the turntable and mumbled something about Triplanar this or ... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Interesting. You are the first person who has made such comments that I know of, but I do understand loyalty. | |
| What defines a good tonearm Hiho, are you beginning to see the religious nature of all of this? ;-) | |
| What defines a good tonearm And yet, the Talea is clearly superior to the Triplanar in playback performance. |
