Have You Ever Painted Your Stereos Nails? Be Honest
kevinmi replied to Westcoastdrums's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
"enhances the electric and magnetic conduction of your system". Wait, what? I have to conduct magnets through my system now? What kind of magnetic conduction do I get through non-ferrous metals? So many new things to worry about. -
I enclosed the backs of my K-Horns about 10 years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I used 3/4 inch angle aluminum to mount my boards. I went with 1/2 inch plywood instead of 3/4 inch, and never had a vibration issue.

I've drooled on the pics of their amps. Does that count for anything?

I remember back in '72, I stole a Yes album from the local Farmer Jack grocery store ( they actually had lp's for sale everywhere back then).When I took it home and played it, I thought it was the worst thing I had ever heard. The LP was Time and a Word. I bought a remastered copy of it last year to add to my Yes collection. BTW, that is one sexy looking table!

I always looked forward to Jacksonbart's comments. I always wonder what happened to him.

I read some reviews, and everyone seems to really like it. A couple of things to consider-it's a heavy cartridge, and it tracks at a little heavier weight than most carts That should help with surface noise. It has a fine line nude stylus, which will help get more detail out of the record. It is a low output moving coil , so you will need a phono preamp made for a mc cart, or a seperate step up transformer. Sounds like EAT makes one that would probably be a good match. I think if you bought the whole EAT package you would be very happy with the sound, and wouldn't need to upgrade.

You know I like Oracle turntables, but the Origin has a unipivot tonearm, which I'm not familiar with. Also, to change from 33 to 45 rpm, you have to move the belt to a different pulley, while not necessarily difficult, can still be a pain. It also doesn't have the famous suspension system as their more expensive tables, which can be a problem depending on where you mount the table. On a concrete slab like a basement, it wouldn't be a problem. I think I would rather buy a used Oracle Delphi MK 2 for the same price.

you need a phono preamp, which will use RIAA equalization to make the records sound right. All records are "encoded", and have to be decoded by a phono circuit, along with proper amplification of the signal. If you use a low output moving coil cartridge, you will also need a step up transformer (SUT).

Wow, I got 6 on that list!

I was thinking for your current set-up. Just to see what they sounded like.
