| Help with crossover capacitors It just possible option.On the first stage to update the crossover with not expensive and good sounding capacitors. And if you like result go to the next step of upgrade.There are a number of options there including use good bypass capacitors. | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Hi @williewonka ,Thank you for answer.Do you think the tonearm cable RCA connector is the most sensitive place in audio system?I use Furutech 126(G) for my tonearm cable.I used KLEI Pure Harmony with number of cable in my system. It always sound... | |
| Help with crossover capacitors Hi @dannybad ,You can try to bypass compression driver filter capacitor with Duelund Cu-Sn 0.01uF bypass capacitor.I did it in my Altec 604E with vintage oil 4uF capacitor and with Duelund RS main 3.9uF capacitors. I like results in both cases.Eve... | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! Hi @williewonka ,What is a difference in sound between Absolute and Pure Harmony?Regards,Alex. | |
| KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!! I built a RCA cable pair with KLE RCA Pure Harmony and Duelund DCA20GA.They work together very well. It is a very good match for my system.I like this combination more than Pure Harmony + DCA16GA or Duelund Gold RCA + Duelund DCA20GA. | |
| Head-ups for fans of AricAudio designs. His new Super 211 SET two chassis amplifier Hi @aricaudio ,Thank you for reply.I know that some designers use 300B tube to drive for 211.300B is even more linear and transparent, but it is much more expensive than EL34, and not everybody like 300B sound signature. EL34 should sound faster.I... | |

| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Hi @mijostyn ,You never have listened EMT950 or EMT948 in you live.How can you judge it?I know that most of EMT collectors who have in their collection EMT927 (the best idler drive turntable ever built) prefer sound of EMT950. Because 950 is more ... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? Hi @rauliruegas ,Yes, I know that EMT tonearms are not a "state of art" as well their phonostages both tube and transistors. But their TT (except models: 928 and 938) and cartridges are really very good.EMT950 and EMT948 where on the same market a... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! Hi @mijostyn ,Yes he did. But he used "improved" crossover that made frequency response more flat.Regards,Alex. | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? I had Nottingham Analog Specedeck for 8 year and I have EMT 948 since 2011.The difference in sound quality is huge for EMT. I have a friend who had: EMT 948, MicroSeiki belt drive and Technicks SP10mk2. He liked EMT and MicroSeiki, but didn’t lik... | |
| Tone, Tone, Tone ! I know Doug Sax used Altec 604E for monitoring with crossovers designed by his brother.These monitors where called Red Monitors. | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? The question is: How much will cost the belt drive turntable which outperforms EMT950?Yes I know. There are great belt drive TTs, like, Micro Seiki 5000, 8000, 3 motor Clear Audio, and others...In any case, all people who use these best belt drive... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? All modern Hi-End TT producers are small garage companies.They don't have enough money and professional R&D to design and build DD turntables.Relatively big Japanese producers like Audio-Technica and Technics can afford to build DD turntables. |
