Well the whole write up i just wrote disappeared. In one sense that isn't all that different from my experience of the Festival Son et Image here in Montreal yesterday. i'll be quick this time in the hopes that my post will get through. bett-er rooms...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]If you do not have the same effect as reel tape of 15ips played at 9ips then your software is not truly slaved by Pacific/ AFI1 chain.[/quote]Yes, I totally agree.And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my R...

I think I finally found a turntable I am interested to make an extra effort to hear, VYGER.
I, of course, have no idea of how it sound and I can't really say why I am interested on that particular turntable. This ma...

Yes. It depends on what someone wants (and what can follow)- i just want to listen to a record / musicThis can be done with a cheap Rega TurntableThe Problem starts, when you try a "Upgrade" , hear a difference and - now very dangerous- you ask yours...

I was sorry to read the humorless vitriolic response by Michael Fremer, whose prose I had enjoyed years back. But he is such an easy target, well-remembered for such angry responses in the past.His response is reflective of the change on the de...

Charlus, it is not about an expression of gratitude, trust me, I am very indifferent neither to criticism or appreciation. Ironically what you are trying to do is in a way an organic holding a touch of a few audio ideas that I happened to advocate as...

Yep, another TT but what does it mean “Analog is Back” and “new hope for the discriminated analog Audiophile”? This language is a crap that industry and armature cheerleaders develop to pump themselves and others up. How...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I do not know anything about Versa TT. I spoke with Tritium TT maker (about different subject) and he told me that various platter mass are available for his TT, including 100 pounds platter. Still, as mem916 point out: th...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, I think you a bit overly glorify the notion of "precision instruments" that we all are a bit taken in high-end audio. If you go to a good hobby shop and by a microscope for 200 dollars, or lawn mower for $300, or a k...

Rooms are normally booked from Manufacturers or Distributors. Not all of them have a full line, so they look for Partners. Looking for Partners to share costs and/or to present a running System. A Turntable or Digital Manufacturers does not build amp...

A lot of assertions are made about this being better or that being the same. In the absence of assessment (and I don't even mean DBT tests, just pooling of expert judgments) this game never stops. There is not a standardized system that can be used t...

[quote user="rowuk"]Can we get back into the "ultimate" turntable instead of the deviation of the AF1 that this guy sees as his personal solution. [/quote]Didn't know that I had a problem for the AF1 to be its solution.[quote user="rowuk"]There still...
|
Yes, Guy, thanks. The images are making waves for day among Russian audio sites. Unfortunately in Russia expensive playback is a part of “successful mad room décor” and prominent Russian love to pose wearing ridiculously expensive watches, behind the...

Why is Acoustic Solid so interesting to me? Well, it should be to most when you read stuff like a $1,600 Black Wood Classic model can beat out a $5,500 Super Scoutmaster model from VPI, and a $4,000 Solid One can compete with a TW Acus...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Thanks, guys. They were quite valuable recommendations. I wonder
how would I feel if Thomas what he begin to talk would inform me that I shall
not have more than 3 tonearms on my turntable or more than 3 pressing of my fa...

[quote user="Stitch"] What we saw and it amazed us, is the huge increase in pricing… [/quote]
The Hi-Fi is boutique products and it is customary to sell it for boutique prices. I am sure the economy also “helps”.

Michael Fremer keeps sending me emails, though I do not think I invited him. I suggested him at the very beginning that to contact me was a bad thing for him as I operate in the very different dimension that he, with his enslaved narcissistic complex...

I had a Walker Proscenium turntable with various cartridges. About twenty years ago I converted all my vinyl to 24/96 files and have never looked back. As far as dsp processing, the Trinnov altitude does a superb job of either recreating the hall sou...

Yes we're creating the ultimate turntable so why not.''So can you
imagine adding to a tonearm a function to catching the proximity from
the center and dynamically reset the anti-scatting? How about automated
tonearm’s vertical excursion to compens...

Hi Wojtek,
I've only seen/heard an SP25 once and I wasn't able to judge how good it was as the rest of the equipment was unfamiliar to me. There is some information about the various Technics DD turntables here.http://de.geocities.com/bc1a69...

Hey, people,
dose anyone know where can I find, buy, steal or order the large size of rubber belts for turntable. I’m looking for regular black thin and light belt, but I was not able to locate any sourse that would will to go larger then 38”. I ne...
|
Well, maybe a little cussing first to set the tone. The older SPU's are now well sought after, many will end up in collections at now over inflated prices probably in the Far-East where they are worshipped. I've heard a few older SPU's and even those...

In case Andrew Rose from Pristine there is no borderline personality or fraudulent intend. I have been pitching it for years that ANY audio industry “professional” is disqualifies to be evaluated on human scale of psychological disorders. An audio in...

I feel that the correct objective of home music listening should be to reproduce as closely as possible what one can enjoy in a great concert hall with great musicians.Thus, I have been a advocate for surround processing for years. As stereo replaced...

Romy,It's ok, I was just being a smart-ass about Fremer. Yes I understand that VTA is the angle that the needle hits the record and that the elevation of the tonearm base is how it is adjusted.Here is a picture of my turntable and arm:https://docs.g...

Romy,I merely thought that you felt I was riding roughshod over your advice, when it was in fact a degree of naivety requiring extensive clarification that may have made it appear thus. Regardless of your indifference to praise and/or criticism, I'd ...

I got from web someone’s pictures of how that dam Russky arm was looking in the turntable. I think some of you would be looking and wondering…
Anyhow, 3 year later after spending some time with this arm I found myself to run this arm very lit...
|
The "best" TT I ever heard - by a mile - was the old Versa Dynamics, but the performance quickly deteriorated, apparently from water vapor messing up the "straight-line" arm function. Oh, well.Mass is definitely part of the answer. ...
|
It seems like most audio "auditioning" is of the hopeful sort, where we can in the best cases "hear something" that attracts us, and we can perhaps use experience to try to "intuit" whether we might be able to "extract" and use the particular compone...
