I'm sure I'll get a fair share of criticism for this but I'm fine with that. This was my response to Fremer's posting. It helps if you read the link first. The previous poster had said: " Nearly all users in the world (and there are many) have totally misaligned setups without knowing." My response: Oy veh! And maybe that's a GOOD thing! What percentage of those who play vinyl regularly want to go to this trouble? Damn it- what happened to just sitting down and listening to music? This is fine for the small percentage who are anal enough to spend significant dollars and hours of time trying to get the Exact VTA, SRA, azimuth, etc. . And if you're off two degrees in azimuth, you think your world will fall apart, you will no longer enjoy listening to vinyl? I love vinyl I have a Rega RP6 and Exact cartridge that gives me immense amounts of pleasure. The cartridge set up takes minutes, not hours. No VTA or azimuth adjustments. Not one. Each to his own but I really believe many of us are really more interested in "listening" to their equipment than listening to music. I think our fathers and grandfathers fifty years ago probably enjoyed listening to vinyl records a hell of a lot more when they didn't have to worry that their VTA or azimuth was precise to a degree. In fact, I'm sure they had never heard those terms before. How lucky they were! |
Well, c'mon. You can't expect quality for under 10 grand. nt, posted on February 10, 2021 at 18:03:42 | |
