| Cost break down of hifi system It is interesting how lop-sided some of the posts are. it is true that each part of a system has its own 'weight' in the final outcome, but none are the end game either. In one post though it was the truth as to what your mood might be for musi... | |
| Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it! Everything matters even more if it isn't plugged in. Yah, some of my customers were concerned about a unit that I sold many of, not working. To cut to the chase, I quit putting the power button on the rear of the unit just for that reason. Of c... | |
| Harmonic distortion inquiry Well it didn't help me much. My brain just exploded all over the floor and I have to mop up!🤣 | |
| Moving Iron Adventures I see some of what you are saying. What I am referring to is electrically induced (EMI) hum. And you addressed a possible cause by referring to the ’extra ground’ used in many cabling systems in phono. No doubt there is a preferred way for each si... | |
| Moving Iron Adventures I wasn't really aware of moving iron cartridges until I bought used TT with one mounted. I have no complaints with the sound, but yes, they certainly are prone to induced hum. I still have the cartridge but have replaced it with a MM which is in ... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners harpo75, I am curious as to what the motor is asking for to begin with. 12v maybe? I can't say for sure, but some motors want what they want and will be damaged if the voltage, high or low, is not what they are made for. I guess that time wil... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners If you are careful, and use the methods listed that Neil has outlined, i believe that you can be successful with the process. Since you have a limited number of albums, also consider sending them off to 'Perfect Vinyl Forever' as I did a year ... | |
| CD player suggestions... New or used? I got an Apollo R for $650 used. There is an original Rega Apollo for sale here aGon. 3 days left. It's in your budget. I owned one of these also and really liked the analogue sound that it put out. The Rega Apollo R that I owne... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Just tonight, I was attempting to find out a few basic answers for a driver. The translation was so poor, that I will just look elsewhere. No need to bother those who cannot simply provide basic specs. To be clear, the specs were provided in such ... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen kota1, If I were to start all over again, the total price wouldn't bother me so much. In fact, if this an item that spells out the answer for audio in the long run, likely money would have been saved. Really, just look at the total spent on aud... | |
| Active Speakers Better? No, per Michael Borresen I second the spirit of Eric's post. In fact, I am waiting for glue to set as I type, on a set of passive loudspeakers in the shop. It has been several years since I experienced the active loudspeaker idea. I was working with an engineer in Tuc... | |
| Fixing Wall Shudder You never know what you will find 'behind the curtain' in craftmanship. When I bought my old house, it had numerous repairs done by someone who didn't give a care. I would use the side of my fist and thump along the wall to listen for trouble. Yo... | |
| Best TT setup for 2k Let's hope it raises the arm first! I swear, I had a Technics that did that to me for no good reason. Went manual after that. | |
| Turntable suggestions for a shaky wooden floor +1 for stringreen's suggestion. I had a skipping problem, even though the TT was sitting on a massive rack. Wall mounting solved all of that. | |
| HMMM. I just remembered an Apollo CDP player that I bought having the same problem. The trouble had occurred in shipping. In this case, all I needed to do was loosen the screws holding the faceplate, and then realign the faceplate to the proper positio... |
