Kl Audio LP200 ultrasonic record cleaner insights
A group of friends and I bought KL at the same time and all of 5 of us are very happy with the units. Cleaning has never been better nor easier than with KL with pretty much zero maintenance except for changing water every once in awhile. 
TW Acustic Turntable Mat
Hmmm.. if it is Zanden mat, I tried them last year with TW Raven AC-1 and I did not like the result very much. I tried both thickness, 7mm and 3 or 5mm if I remember correctly.Looks and feel similar to rubber mat that came with VPI Classic 3 but a... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
Matt, now that you are on this thread, when is that DD going to make its way to Bangkok. I am eagerly waiting to hear one now :) 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
I am curious about status of VPI. In the past TNT I thought was highly regard as among the big league table. HR-X was also no slouch. At that time, it may not be a Rolls Royce of turntable but probably quite a bit more than a Toyota, I would think... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
There was a review of VPI direct drive last month in one of the online magazine. It was named turntable of the year by that magazine as well but I just can't remember the name right now hmmm.. 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
I was told that Fremer also has one for review as well. VPI sent DD out to 3 reviewers from what I was told by my local dealer. I hope we will hear something soon. I think it was in Fremer's interview with HW that the motor was further modified by... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
PS, regarding retooling, even if VPI outsource all the parts, if VPI comes up with a new platform, someone somewhere will most likely have to do some retooling and the cost will be passed along to VPI in the end. I doubt VPI uses only off the shel... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
I am curious how many Clearaudio Statements are sold? Even the less expensive but still in the $30,000 + and up turntable, Wave Kinetic NVS, TW Black Knight, Basis Work of Art, Techdas etc etc What is successful sale at this price point, 10, 50, 1... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
Hiho, I understand your point. However I feel that unless VPI changes the look (which means the whole platform), calling it VPI Direct Drive, the sceptics will still not be satisfied and said that it looks like a Classic, a Classic in disguise etc... 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
It is tough for VPI. I think that if they come out with a brand new DD table that is not based on the Classic, the added cost of design, retooling etc will add up. If you go by cost of parts x 5, the new DD probably would cost much much more than ... 
Strange subsonic rumble problem?
Hmmm.. I think it is definitely the phono unit that is causing the problem. Ground on FR66s seems to be fine. Today, I tried Reed/Lyra with Aesthetix and rumble occurs again (neither FR or Reed had rumble with Thoeress phono).I put Kinetic Wave fo... 
Strange subsonic rumble problem?
I am not sure what do you mean by grounding problem? I assume it is the ground lead from phono cable or is there something else? The FR has no problem when connecting through Thoeress preamp though so if it is a problem in the arm itself, I assume... 
Strange subsonic rumble problem?
Hmmm.... when I reconnected FR/Koetsu to Audio Tekne SUT/Aesthetix Io, rumble came back again :(This is getting rather strange. I assume it means something downstream from the arm that is now the culprit. Bad tubes in Aesthetix? The sound seems fi... 
Clearaudio Innovation Wood vs. TW Acoustic
No_regrets, my friend's system consists of top of line T&A active speakers (I think it is now not the current model), a McIntosh pre (can't remember the model, one of the anniversary model I believe) and ARC Ref2 phono. He uses Graham arm and ... 
Clearaudio Innovation Wood vs. TW Acoustic
A good friend has Inovation Wood and I have TW Raven AC. Both are really good but very different sounding turntable so personal preference and the rest of your system will be very important. If you want a turntable that is a bit more lively, clean...
