Hi Peter,
I love your mod's, especially the delrin suspension mod. I'm really interested in that mod. How does one go about getting some? I couldn't see any of the images on AOS since I'm not a member. I have an Orbe SE that I've done some work on but it could use more. Feel free to contact...
Well, after some quick email exchanges, (thanks Jeff C.) I was reminded (duh!) of the set screw adj. for rotating the arm's collar in relation to final position of the base. I was skeptical this would help since it was the P-to-S set up that was not working out. The arm's large DIN connector and...
So, after a long hiatus, I finally got serious and found a nice second 9" Graham Phantom to mount on the rear arm mount. Since my Graham 2.0 had fit, albeit closely, I figured the Phantom would be okay. Unfortunately, it doesn't, despite my best efforts to get to to work. I can't set the spindle...
I'm in the process of moving on from my good ol' trusty Drive/DAC/Digital Lens trio to a new server/player combo. The Cary DMS-500 is on my player short list and I'd like to hear from anyone who is/has used it.
If anyone is thinking of selling their Phantom Supreme I'd be interested. I'm after the 9-inch ver. with the Graham style mounting, but would be open to the 10-inch if they had an extra armwand and the 10-inch jig. I'm also looking for the IC-70 or Hovland MC2 cable.
Thanks.
I agree many new pressings are a disappointment either in pressing quality or sound. I've vented on this subj. before so I'll try not to wax on too much, but it's the MAIN reason I don't buy much vinyl anymore. The only pressings that I can say good things about are MFSL. Every one I've bought...
Thanks for the reply. The reason I asked had to do with a recent purchase of a second LP-S.
When I had my LP I was told by a local cart. repairer (Andy Kim) that Benz uses exceptionally good styli and that it's not uncommon to get them to 3000 hrs. He had adj. my suspension and it sounded...
I remember reading that when Benz was using the "FG" stylus it was not uncommon to get 2,500-3000 hrs. from it if taken well care of. Now that their using a "MR" stylus with what seems a more radical profile, does this shorten the life expectancy any?
Interesting, that looks vaguely similar to a 4-LP Miles Davis set from Analogue Productions I had issues with. Three tries later and I finally gave up and kept the least troublesome. Disk 1 had the same sort of pattern, though it took closer inspection to see the problem.
It looked like...
I'd be hard pressed to say I could tell by listening since I have no reference with other transducers. But I have a strong feeling this info. was passed on in error or the translation of it was in error. After rereading Myles' review of the KLA I have to say that's how I remember it, other...
A local shop was telling a friend of mine how there were changes made to the selected sonic frequency of the ultrasonic generators. I think I remember reading that this took place during the initial engineering of the unit or in early production, but I hadn't heard or read anything since. Has...
I have owned an LP12/Lingo then a Michell Orbe SE, and now a TW Acustic Raven Two (since 2012). I have heard the Basis 2500 (years ago) when contemplating the Michell Orbe. I wasn't able to compare them side-by-side. I went with the Michell but maybe should have gone with the Basis. I bought...
Hi Gary,
Originally, the Digital Lens was my late brother's unit, as was the CAL DAC and Transport that I use. Since my Philips SACD player had croaked very early in life I decided to try out my brother's gear. In my main system, the Digital Lens had a very positive impact on playback, (yet in...
Well, I went ahead a picked up a Logitech Harmony 650 remote. I was initially skeptical since there was only one device listed for Genesis, though I was under the impression there were more. It had all the necessary remote commands for the GDL except the display on/off. Adding a command is easy...
