Hello, this is my first post here - this is a wonderful web site, critical and fair - a lot of knowledge here and i consider you real connoiseurs - that's why i'm hoping to resolve my problem here.
I have a Micro Seiki SX-111FVL - the big L one, a...

Hi Romy and others,One thing that I have struggled with for some time is that I have always been plagued with
inner groove distortion on the majority of my records (many new, all cleaned with Nitty Gritty).
Inner Groove Distortion on the sibi...

RomyYour first question was "Does it do bass"... Yes, and it does it full frequency with great tonality. I am a ribbon panel owner as you may remember and also have modified Tannoys as monitors so I know easily when I am lacking in the bass departmen...

After more than 10 years of using the Micro Seiki MAX-282 tonearm I realized that if it is my second stereo arm then why I presume it shall have Second Sound? I have properly performing mono and stereo arms and I have a dally arm. The Daily arm is a ...

[quote user="Axel"]OK, this is useful also, in that you have not noted a "pattern" as you say. My point is closer to your suggestion, that I do change cart --- and sometimes buy new ones, B U T I do not buy other SUT (at least I try to avoid it). I'...

[quote user="Antonio J."]I knew that my asking about the cart used would make you to write the kind of comment you've done. What I've enjoyed most and exclusively of the disc has been the music, all are terrific pieces and some, like the Ko...

After all, I have learned that there is deference between the 901 and 90x. I wonder why on one “reviewer”, dealer or distributor were not able to explain the differences. Also, form this table it is very understandable why many people with metal ring...

Since my “End of Life" Phonostage have materialized I got exposed to a temptation of finding a “right” cable between my tonearm to the phonostage. The most critical cable between the step-up transformer and phonostage does not exist in my system anym...

People who read me site know that I am a big admirer of older SME arms 3012/3009. Everything is great on them except they have no objective VTA scale. The new SME arm: M2-12/9 has a fixing bolt that allows dial-in and to maintaining VTA very accurate...

[quote user="starboy"]A friend has a fixed headshell model S2 and is about to trade for a detachable;just for convenience but worries if there is any extra sonic merit in the model he alread has? Any idea Mr B____ [/quote]

People asked me: Romy why don’t you try to transfer some analog to digital and see what happen. I was queries myself and I decided to try tonight.
Whatever I did was in a way half-ass but I was interested in “as is” result. Although the attem...

[quote user="marknoir"]Agreed. I only wish I could hear the new Platinum for myself... :-) Meanwhile I'll be looking for a used Shelter 901.[/quote]Do yourself a favor and look for components which aren't that colored.When you don't want, because yo...

[quote user="Wojtek"]Look what you have done to jack up pricess of vitavox (nobody was buying before your wistle) , Micro Seiki (gathering dust after Art Dudley wrote they bored the hell out of him) meittner dacs (suddenly the most musical in the...
|
|
[quote user="Antonio J."]Well, I don't know if there's something wrong with the platter and I'd like to know it. All I know is that lower bass has kind of "detachement" from the mid-upper bass, that I don't hear from the tuner nor the DAC. [/quote]

Starboy, you are lucky. You got with what you feel comfortable, BTW, does it do bass? I wonder how you approached the cartridge? Did you hear somewhere the cartridge or heard from about it from someone? The reason I asked is because I really do not k...

With the recent changes on my configuration changes and employing the “End of the Live Phonostage”, in duty I re-thinked my analog playback. I got rid to arms and one deck, changed the mapping between the arms and phonostages and ended up with quite ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] So, I would call Jubilee as a noise highlighting cartridge. (BTW, there is one subject regarding it that I need to look further ….) [/quote]
This is VERY interesting phenomena that I am trying to decipher but so far unsuc...

Since the 2007-2008 alchemic music season and consequentially live FM season was over (the event I marked with my “End of the live Phonostage”) I have been spinning a lot of vinyl lately. So, I spent some time with different phono cables with my diff...

I do not claim any special vinyl cleaning inelegance. In fact I did quite stupid things in my past playing with a few cleaning and playing “improvement” solutions. Well, I went over it and have learned that I would like to practice only somethin...

Sometimes ago I received an email from a NY guy that I know:
“I borrowed a friend's Sansui TU-X1 and just like I heard them at your place it sounds fantastic! What is it about this tuner? There is such an ease to the presentation and no distra...

What did you know; I was in Barnes & Noble and bought a first for quite long time September TAS magazine. I do not subscribe audio publications but seldom buy them. Since I did not do it for as long time I though it will be entertaining. It...
