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...

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...

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 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...

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="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...

[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...

how would I feel if Thomas what he begin to talk would inform me that I shall

The Hi-Fi is boutique products and it is customary to sell it for boutique prices. I am sure the economy also “helps”.

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Stitch, this is VERY good question. I think the
answer in the eye of beholder. I know two guys who own or use to own TechDas 1. One did not like it and he before it use to ha...

Jam,Yes, as I now see, you are right that the bearing was merely filled to the rim with oil and that it doesn’t have a pump feature (like some older turntable bearings did). And yes, the lead is touted for anti-seize (mostly copper these days), but a...
