HI Romy,
As you know I have 2 kids, one is 8 and the other 3, they grew up around my system too, and they learn where to move where to touch and what not to touch, and it is great they have Access to good sound.
At the hardest time, when you cannot...

Richard,
I have no experience on the subject. I heard many contradictory theories from various people about “how the plinth should be done” and “how the platter should be done”, including the materials, the mass ratio, that mass allocation and so on...

Hi Brian,
Thanks for useful infos.
Recently I had possibility to enter in to supplier warehouse to check how the magnet react on different ss materials.
I found some types which attracted the magnet still less than 316L. I'm not an expert in met...

Just a few lines to the "Performance" of this piece of wood on strings for 7k $I listened to the Schroeder Reference + SQ and some custom made ones which were normally not available (Schroeder model blahblah with Valhalla cable etc.)(of course you ca...

[quote user="SearcherOfBetterSound"]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 ...

Yes, I very frequently observe this effect. I hear sometimes on air something that make me to call to the station and ask with version it was played and then to my sadness I realized that they play the LP or CD that I have and that does not produce t...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, please do not hallucinate about the existing of marketplace or rule of market in high end audio. Among all people you should know better. There is no market pricing in audio. There is only mental abuse and financial ...

George,
I do not think that the 3 motors example of Clearaudio is applicable. Theoretically it correct and a single motor driving a platter coastally minor-swing it on it’s bearing. In realty the things are more completed. With enough mass of platte...

The Rockports have a very light platter and a carbon Arm....the one I listened to was the latest, it had simply no Bass reproduction, nada, nothing and the Arm resonances are also inferior to any energy transfer from any cartridge. The lead wires are...

John, a few corrections for start
First of all the gullible and moronic are not interchangeable words and I never use one instead of other. Second Audio Note Ginga does not look like traditional Micro. It has oil suspension and God knows what ...

Good afternoon Romy! I'm Pat Mattucci, and I'd like to respond to your post.How interesting you would post a response to my humble question to an obscure little group on my birthday, of all days. I'm honored. I also happen to be from the Philadelphia...

[quote user="mem916"] Oh, by suspension, I meant the tuned spring suspension that the versa (and many other 'tables) use to isolate the plinth platter, and arm from vibrations coming up through the floor and the stand. I don't think of a platter bear...

Eli,
I was in the same place at one time and accepted my listening as it was in relation to electricity. You say
"When [electricity] is good great and when is ok I live with it and when is terrible I just walk away".
This is fine to say...

Since the recent summer holidays in FM live brought back some LP renaissance, and since the recent stories about the new stereo cartridge, I found myself to play more vinyl lately. It looks like I am about to be out of the fluid for my Record Cleanin...

This post might be called “the surprise of a new suburban idiot” and it will be not too far from truth. Still the whole idea gives me some much pleasure that I would share it, no matter how pathetic it I for a person who live in suburbs for a w...

Thos who use air-suspended platform of large mass (like Vibraplane) under turntable know that they work very nice. Now there is a new idea – to use the no air, ”active” suspension:

Folks, This thread caught my attention, because here Romy waxes lyrically about the failings of the Denon Cartridges. Now I only consider ONE Denon worth bothering, the ORIGINAL 103, it is often inaccuratly called 103C. It has a medium compliance (ar...

Do you have impressions on this CD (I know it's probably on another league than the ones you mentioned above) or perhaps you can suggest your "Romy's choice for Dvorak's New World Symphony record"? I don't own a turntable and given the cost...

[quote user="HookEm"]The reproduction does not seem natural... too far away from what I would hear at a live event (e.g., female vocalist). Sort of bright and fatiguing at times. I may not be using the proper terminology to describe it, but I do...

Arlequen,
Thank for the suggestion, the shape-wise it is exactly what I am looking for. I have seen a number of similar lights but they are LED lights. I kind of automatically discard the led lights as I though then are not as powerful and not...

It might be not directly related to the subject of this thread but I do feel that it has quite a good relatively. Are you laughing that your Lamm made his new amplifier with a price tag of $126K? Well, think again. Do you remember as the ...

[quote user="hagtech"] I'm not convinced a constant side load on bearing is good. It causes assymetrical wear. Just seems to me a center balanced bearing with no lateral loads would be better. Merely an intuitive hunch. [/quote]

Paul,
I do not know anything about Vitus phonostages but it is what it is. Manufactures each few months manufacture new products and it is given to media publicists to sell it. It is what they do for leaving – to inform public that new product...
