| Azimuth observations and importance Thank you Lewn. This certainly gives me a better idea. I am also confused with how and where to insert the leads in the system and DC vs AC voltage on the multimeter. Do I insert them in the amp's speaker terminals or in the speakers' terminals? D... | |
| Azimuth observations and importance I was wondering if anyone could give a succinct (if possible) tutorial on how to use an analog multimeter to adjust azimuth for someone with no engineering background (in other words, azimuth for dummies as it were). In the alternative, perhaps so... | |
| Azimuth observations and importance Thank you very much Jtimothya! I actually do have a test record so I'm more or less half way there. Is it me, or is the azimuth one tricky bastard?:) | |
| Azimuth observations and importance Elizabeth, I always enjoy your advice. Do you know how to precisely use a voltmeter (or a multimeter I can get for about $20 from Ace Hardware) to adjust azimuth? I was told you put the leads to the speaker's terminal but mine are bi-wired and I'm... | |
| Azimuth observations and importance So, for the cantilever canted to the left or right, what's the solution? The cantilever on my Soundsmith Aida cart appears to be very, very slightly canted to the left (toward the center of the record) but is perfectly straight. I have a test reco... | |
| Impendance taps setting on a tube amp Thank you all for interesting responses. I'm not sure why RA decided to keep the taps inside, but I assume there must have been a good reason for it. Here's an excerpt from the Cronus manual regarding the impedance setting:The Cronus also provides... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Mac, I can take a pic with my phone later today and forward it to you if you want (feel free to contact me privately). The cover is absolutely top quality and made perfectly to my specifications. The only downside to ordering custom is the wait ti... | |
| Woofers getting workout, but no bass I'd suggest the KAB rumble filter. I had the same problem, and not only it most likely affects the sound adversely, but it might also with time damage the speakers' voice coils since the woofers expand uncontrollably. At first I thought I noticed ... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Thanks Rockyboy for the info and advice. Interesting that VPI in their email response to me stated that the effective mass of the Classic tonearm is 11.2 grams. What was the source of your information? Good point about the dustcover. I currently h... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... "Quick question on the JMW 10.5 tonearm that comes with the Classic (SE version without VTA tower) and those of you who ordered the standard JMW10.5i (with VTA tower and Valhalla wiring). Can you please tell me what the effective mass is for both ... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Thank you Rockyboy. I already have a maple block which supports my Scout, but was thinking of upgrading to the Classic, hence my question. That's good news!Funny that you have a Glider as it's a cart I am also considering. I can get it factory reb... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... Two questions for those who own the Classic:1. Would the Classic fit on a 20'' x 15'' maple block? I know its dimensions are a little bigger, but was wondering if its footprint was small enough to fit on a block this size. 2. Does anyone own the C... | |
| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp Good advice. Thanks again. | |
| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp Tvad,That's exactly right--I told my dealer what my budget was and that's how the recommendation came about. He actually started with the monoblocks, but recommended the Stereo 90 since it fit into my budget perfectly with the 99 Magnum preamp. As... | |
| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp Good point Tvad. I did not think about it. |
