| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2005 There's going to be a boatload of great analog at the show. Last year, the weather was so darned good, and with it being the first year of the show, the local turnout was light. Between not getting the word out and the nice weather, people took to... | |
| Exemplar , Are they they still in Buisness? I'll ask, Ozzy.As you know about John, because he didn't do it yesterday, it has no bearing on tomorrow.Cheers,Thom @ Galibier | |
| Exemplar , Are they they still in Buisness? Hi all,Yes, John/Exemplar is alive and well ...John and I will be exhibiting together in Suite 7130 at the Rocky Mountain Audiofest on September 29th - October 2nd. Look for a new 300b amp from John at the show, along with the Denon 5910 and a fla... | |
| Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions Hi all,Every time I give this topic some thought, I come to the same conclusion as Flyingred has.The heck with my 'tables for playing 78's. Sure I can do it. It's a simple matter of having two batteries in series so that I can nudge the voltage pa... | |
| A question for the Pro's in setting up analog good I have a plethora of turntable setup links hanging off of the support page on my website.Go to the "Arm and Cartridge Setup" section on this page: http://www.galibierdesign.com/support.htmlAlso, check there for links to brilliant articles by both ... | |
| Tonearm / Catridge matching? Hi Michael,No, you are not missing anything. Bear in mind when you add weight in the form of a shim between cartridge and headshell, you are changing the material interface - sometimes for the better ... other times for the worse. To try to isolat... | |
| Schroeder arms: order of merit? Gosh, I'm not quite sure where to start ... let's consolidate:1. To Gmorris:I'd love to know how you can consider my comments in my original post June24th on to be "patronizing if not condescending" (as you stated on 06-30).From that June 24th pos... | |
| Schroeder arms: order of merit? Floating your Speedy Boat ... Hi Speedy,I could have been a bit more clear in my description of my year long experience with the 2.2. My take on Bob and his tonearms is that: (1) Bob Graham is a very gifted engineer (2) He has an aesthetic vision ... | |
| Schroeder arms: order of merit? Doug pretty much hits the nail on the head with his description.My take on Graham tonearms (extensive experience with both the 2.2 ceramic & the Robin), is that they are an expression of a different musical sensibility than either the Triplana... | |
| The Schroeder has arrived Yup! What y'all said. Last night I put in the caveat on my spreadsheet for the unsuspecting.It's interesting - I'm also finding the maximum safe bottom f. res. at about 9 Hz. A bit lower can work with some carts. but 9 seems to be safe number (sol... | |
| The Schroeder has arrived Hi Doug, Raul ...I wonder if I am doing a disservice by publishing the mass/compliance chart. I think some explanatory notes should be added and I will do so. This all goes back to listening being the final arbiter of "goodness". I need to put som... | |
| The Schroeder has arrived Hi all,The whole res. freq. thing is certainly intriguing. Keep in mind that you can go a bit lower than the 10hz number depending on the turntable you're running.This 10-12Hz range was arrived at as a means of splitting the difference between 20 ... | |
| The Schroeder has arrived Hi Raul,The "J" shaped 'Seikis have always intrigued me. I have an MA-505 Mk III (straight, removeable arm wand) which is on lone to a friend. Another friend has a MK I version of the arm which is indeed "J" shaped with removable headshell.It's be... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Hi Doug,I also thought about hacking it off (unscrewing it?). Maybe I can convince Tri to sell me a spare part to experiment with. Hey! If I'm on to something (arm rest and counterweights), maybe I can qualify for a "G" designator on his arms (gri... | |
| TriPlanar Tips Dang !!I'm already thinking about the arrival of my TriPlanar and Tri hasn't even received my check yet !! I see tip #'s 9 and 10 (or is it 10 and 11 ??) dancing in my head.Maybe not so much tips as mods:10. Try to stabilize (beef up) the arm rest... |
