| Anti-Skat on the EAT F-Note Tonearm @drrsutliff is correct. The problem is not your antiskating. There is something else wrong. Check to see if you can swing the arm over the spindle. If you hit a hard stop something is blocking inward travel of the arm and it is hopping out of the ... | |
| Turntable Isolation There are only two platforms that will work reliably, the MinusK and the Vibraplane. This assumes that your equipment rack or cabinet is laterally stable. Movement straight up and down is easy for the tonearm to handle. Lateral or sideways deflect... | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading @erik_squires There are many topics to deal with in audio, You seem to be stuck on room acoustics. Room acoustics are important. The best way to deal with it is to build a room specifically for sound reproduction and the vast majority of us are st... | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading I reviewed the Bassoconuinuo website. The scientific approach? Not so much. As with everything Italian it is all about style. This type of construction is inherently flimsy because it has no solid back or sides. The uprights in my cabinet are all ... | |
| Audio Racks, Just How beneficial? looking for guidance in upgrading OK, There is only one piece of equipment that requires special attention and that is the turntable. It has to be at a comfortable height for you to work with on a shelf as sturdy as you can make it. Vertical racks are not optimal. The reason is th... | |
| Wool Blankets as Room treatment @jbuhl , yes, you will get some attenuation over 250 Hz or so. I would liken it to pissing into a forest fire. A HiFi room is for sound, appearances are secondary, although it is possible to make a very nice looking sound room. Put 4" acoustic til... | |
| Limiting a full range driver Hi Koestner. You are right on the money. The level of distortion and volume limitation low bass causes in full range drivers is unacceptable. It is the single most significant thing you can do. Room control is important but it will do you no good ... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas , 20 pounds. I need to lose 20 pounds. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @toddalin BEAUTIFUL CAR!!! Guys, this is old news. Tekton could not build a decent speaker if their lives depended on it. Their use of tweeters is suicidal and they can't figure out what type of speaker they want to make line source or point sour... | |
| Mint Protractor. A Pretty Nice Alignment Tool @rauliruegas is absolutely correct. Most tonearms are not at their specified spindle to pivot distance. They are off by several mm which throws the Mint out the window. There are way too many ways to create error when drilling for the tonearm. SME... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I'm sure viscosity is a factor if you have that problem, another factor to drive yourself crazy about. I really like my little world. I can hide from the rest of humanity with a few selected exceptions. I hate to say this Raul, but y... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I don't have time to read 250 pages. I've got to finish my wife's vanity. Look, what's happening down there is rather simple. There is a diamond stylus tracing groove at something like 60,000 psi. while the cartridge and everything e... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @erik_squires And just what do you think you are going to do about bass in any normally sized residential space? Most audiophiles know that bass below 100 Hz is poorly localized. The dimensions of the room are of primary importance followed by th... | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? I'll make @jymc the armrest for the price of the parts and shipping. That would be about $25.00 | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? @cfarrow I thought about the Taycan, but I really needed a pickup truck, so I got a TRX. I had a 2014 Turbo S, but sold it after 5 years. I liked driving my old C4S better and the Turbo languished in the garage. The 06 C4S has the right look and t... |
