| SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable? I used a spare RCA interconnect (nominally 50Ω) for Spdif when I first got a DAC, it worked but a cable designed for the job but with RCAs on both ends was quite an improvement and a 75Ω cable with BNC connectors (Belden 4794R) better still even t... | |
| Is my Stylus damaged? I left a 17D2 running in the lead out groove for two weeks while I was on holiday in France. I came back to a ring of vinyl swarf, just the excuse I needed to exchange it for the D3. I do try and catch that record before the centre groove since th... | |
| Beatles best album and concert dvd? I’m with you on the White Album but we may be in the minority.Some true believers will be along in a bit to put us straight. | |
| Cartridge options going forward Faced with a similar dilemma I decided to try something radically different while I arranged for a rebuild of my Proteus and ordered an SPU Royal N. My tone arm allows some flexibility of effective mass by changing the material of a sub plate on w... | |
| Anyone experienced speed issues with Artemis Labs SA-1? I should have left this thread alone, mine started glitching today, I turned it off after the second time in 10 minutes. | |
| Rega Planar 10/Aria MC Phono Stage HUM If you look at the power socket on the back of the Aria you may find it only has two pins, the one pictured on Regas web site does. I don’t know recent Rega arms, my RB300 had a ground cable which grounded the mounting pillar but the actual ground... | |
| Anyone experienced speed issues with Artemis Labs SA-1? Did you have any luck with resolving the speed issue? I remember reading that each ps was matched to the motor in the deck, a task that required the use of an oscilloscope if so a plug in replacement is unlikely.The ps was designed by John Atwood.... | |
| Anti skate question for Rega P8/RB 880 arm Long time ago I had bought a DV 17D2 to go on my RB300 arm, I set AS on the Rega’s slider to match the VTF, 1.95g. After probably a year or two too many I started getting balance issues with the system, I found the stylus was twisted off the verti... | |
| Looking for ideas on Lyra Delos - muddy middle Try adjusting the VTF by ear too, use the scales for reference so you can return to an a previous best. Lyra quote a range from 1.7 to 1.8g. Then “revalidate” VTA as this will alter slightly. On another phonostage (Naim superline) I’ve seen 560Ω m... | |
| Looking for ideas on Lyra Delos - muddy middle When you say validated how are you doing that?I may have missed it but I didn’t see mention of VTF, lyras have a very narrow tolerance but there will be some, does moving the tracking force either side of your target by the minimum you can achieve... | |
| Soundstage gone If you have a mono button on the amp play a mono record, if when you press the mono button the sound nearly disappears you have the cartridge leads crossed on one channel, if it doesn’t its in polarity, the background noise might reduces if it’s a... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry “ I have master tapes and I've only heard a couple of combinations that really held up in that regard.”There’s an important word in here, combinations.Do those using microscopes ever then vary it a little and listen to check it’s actually optimal? | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? I have the test record mentioned by Chakster, it was thrown in when I bought my last cartridge, an SPU Royal N. Before fitting the SPU to my arm (Schröder) I ran my Proteus through the resonance tracks. Arm eff mass 13g, compliance 13, cartridge w... | |
| Tone arm resonance and cartridge compliance: How do they interact?? Another interesting link.http://korfaudio.com/blogthere are 4 posts on cartridge matching in the blog and a calculator, read the blog posts first. | |
| Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex When I bought my Proteus they were £2900 in the UK, the US price was $6000. It faced tougher competition in the US at that price.I haven’t seen mention of which arm the OP is using but assuming it’s medium mass the Winfield Ti might be a good choi... |
