| At what vol level do you get rumble / flutter? I suspected the tonearm might be at least partly to blame. I did apply a little bit of the damping fluid a while ago, but will experiment again. Thanks Tobes. | |
| At what vol level do you get rumble / flutter? Tobes,What would you suggest in situations where the tonearm/cartridge match looks perfect on paper, but the woofer pumping continues? I have a VPI Classic with a Lyra Delos and I still experience excessive woofer movement. The Classic stands on a... | |
| At what vol level do you get rumble / flutter? Ahh, the rumble. I told my dealer I had a rumble problem and he looked at me suspiciously. It did sound rather strange...What I don't quite understand is why you would crank up the volume twice as high as your normal listening level and then notic... | |
| edenSound Footers & TerraStone. I have a 4-inch maple block under my Classic and put pennies under the brass footers to protect the wood. The footers have a rather sharp "spikes" and with the weight of the turntable would definitely dimple anything softer. | |
| Conversion of mV to dB Ahh, the attenuator on the line preamp! Sometimes the obvious avoids us (at least me :).Yes, the first figure is a mistake; it was supposed to state "0.4 mV" not "1.4 mV." Hazards of posting late. These figures are a few dB off from what is obtain... | |
| Conversion of mV to dB As a follow up, I looked up specifications for some phono and line preamps out of curiosity. My Rogue preamp has "rated" output of 1.5V, but "maximum" output of 30V PP ("peak power"?)!!! With the power amps listed as having input sensitivity of 1V... | |
| Conversion of mV to dB Thanks Al. Let me just add that the designer himself stated to me that the setting of 1.4 mV corresponds to approximately 70 dB of gain, and 0.6 mV to approximately 68 dB, which essentially matches to the values obtained by using the formula. Also... | |
| edenSound Footers & TerraStone. Ha, ha, I did a double take as well. Yes, I replaced the stock feet on my Classic with a set of Bear Paws from Eden Sound based on Stringreen's positive experience. Depending where the strengths/weaknesses lie in your system, you might notice impr... | |
| Looking for a $500 or so phono preamp -- BC23 ? Kennyman,Just so you know, Jim Pendleton at Osage Audio has a brand new Phonomena II for $500. I just got an email from Osage. And he's an awesome guy to deal with. I thought I'd let you know if you're still deciding. | |
| Conversion of mV to dB Thank you both. I agree the KAB calculator needs to be used with caution as it does not take into consideration all of the parameters that might come into play when trying to convert different values. It appears that an accurate calculation can be... | |
| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? Gbart,Would you please send me an email to actusreus13@hotmail.com if possible? I'm also interested in your DC blocker, and I have another question for you as well. Thank you. | |
| Review: DIY 'Elliott Sound Products' P06 Phono Preamp for MM phono cartr Preamplifier Hey Fap,I was doing some research on subsonic filters and I saw that you also successfully built such a filter from Elliott Products. I was wondering whether we could discuss this project a bit more as I'm also in a need of a good quality subsonic... | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes Jtwrace,You have a beautiful, brand new component, made with advanced, top quality parts and materials that many would be ecstatic to have. It's like having a new, super hot girlfriend who turns heads on the street, and asking your friends whether... | |
| Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes If you actually own the Andros, I believe you must have just purchased it as I remember you considering it in a recent post. If so, why not try to enjoy it with its stock tubes? It's a $4,000 piece of equipment and every single review has been ver... | |
| XLR to RCA cable Thank you, Albert and Al. The unit indeed does require female connectors. This fact aside, your answers confirmed what I suspected. In an email exchange, the designer mentioned experimenting with balanced/unbalanced configuration if I experienced ... |
