| Aesthetix IO Signature upgrade path? Ohjoy40,I don't understand the technical issues requiring resistor swap when caps are upgraded but perhaps Glenn would elaborate. It might be worth a few minutes on the phone.If you're sold on the Mills sound I would put them back in. I've install... | |
| Aesthetix IO Signature upgrade path? Ohjoy40, Unfortunately I did not make note of resistors after the factory full eclipse upgrade.If Glenn says there is a resistor upgrade that goes along with the new caps, I believe him. That being said, the resistors are ordinary compared to the ... | |
| Aesthetix IO Signature upgrade path? Ohjoy40, a good tech can do the cap upgrade for you and results will be the same as factory, provided you purchase equal quality parts.I think currently Aesthetix is using the Moncrief caps which are very expensive. You could go V Caps or Audience... | |
| Multipel Driver Subs The JL Audio Fathom F212 was the best match for my Dali Megaline. The Megaline uses a seven foot dipole ribbon (per channel) that operates from about 1000 HZ on out, similar goals of dispersion and speed as the Maggie dipole ribbon design. The JL ... | |
| do record cleaning fluids soften the treble? Rrm, I agree with your findings, much like my own.What confuses this issue is each persons cleaning methods, attention to detail, number of steps employed and even the brand of record cleaning machine used.Mo Fi fluids (previously Record Research)... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths I've received a lot of email inquires since this post began so I'll answer here for everyone to read.Porter Plinth has evolved into exclusively a dual arm design, different than images featured at SoundfountainAll Porterhouse plinths are made from... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? What about large size digital sensors - how do the compare to same size film quality? None of my customers so far are willing to pay enough for me to move above the 24 million pixel Nikon-Canon category. I suspect the Nikon (their best is slightl... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Kijanki,The question began as a query as to how I achieved the large images shown at CES some years ago. I answered the question truthfully.I'm a professional photographer and I justified my rates by overcoming very difficult technical obstacles. ... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Albert: I'll never, ever forget those incredible analog photos of yours, featuring various Benz cartridges for Garth of Musical Surroundings. That was way back when I'd first met you. You had these cartridges blown up to somewhere around 20 or 24 ... | |
| Goat Hair Brush Albertporter, I haven't tried a felt-type brush since back in the days of the Discwasher D4 system. The Milty Duo-Pad does look interesting. I didn't see that it came with a brush for cleaning the pads? I use the red plastic cover of the Duo-Pad f... | |
| Goat Hair Brush Theo, that must be why my old one is hard to find, your link is likely the replacement. That's the first time I've seen it.Link below is the old one I use. This is a UK site. Duo-Pad | |
| Goat Hair Brush I have never tried the goat hair brush you mention but have tried a dozen other types including carbon fiber and other materials.The best so far is the Milty Duo-Pad which is made in England. I searched for a link to provide for this thread but co... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Interesting comments by Learsfool and Bryoncunningham.For myself, I would say that digital photography is FAR ahead of digital audio. Agreed, and again because the music distribution companies limit what the public has access to whereas camera ma... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Can Albert Porter explain the photography thing for us? I'm sure a lot of people spend big money on cameras too in the name of accuracy stuff like depth of field, sharp focus, correct colors. But why then is that okay, while an expensive stereo is... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Franks,There is a Boston mat that does not completely fill the recessed "cut" area on Technics platter but works wonderfully. In other words there were two sizes available when Boston Audio and I spoke on the phone, I ordered the slightly smaller ... |
