| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks, Kal! I'm looking forward to reading it.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. I agree with George's comments, except I think that when he typed "ghz" (gigaHertz) he meant to say "mhz" (megaHertz).Regards,-- Al | |
| Grounding First, I'm not sure what it is that you are referring to that you want to connect to an external earth ground point. Are you talking about grounding the chassis of the equipment, which would normally be grounded anyway via the AC safety ground pin... | |
| Silver cables or copper?Any opinons. To provide an example of the point to my post just above, the difference between the resistance and conductance of a 6 foot silver cable and a 6 foot copper cable that is identical aside for the type of metal, will be the same as the difference be... | |
| Silver cables or copper?Any opinons. Runnin, did you read the last two paragraphs of my post, especially these two sentences:Also, regarding the 6% or so difference in resistivity and conductivity between silver and copper, a point to keep in mind is that that difference can be compe... | |
| Metal "whiskers" on cartridge body Although it's possible he picked up some metallic shavings from that early horn he was looking into. Some of them were made of metal.:-)Best,-- Al | |
| Help picking a tube preamp, please You might want to consider the Herron VTSP-3A(r02), at $6550 new.I haven't heard it, but Herron products just about always seem to receive glowing comments from A'gon members and other users, who also invariably mention that Keith Herron is an abs... | |
| Silver cables or copper?Any opinons. 11-04-14: SyntaxAES Standard rates copper as Standard for Signal transfer ability (=100%), Silver for example is 106, gold is around 90 and everything else is much worse. Silver can carry 6% more Information than anything else.When the unit has ve... | |
| Tube preamp vs Tube cd player Lots of excellent responses have been provided above, and in particular I'll third ZD's well stated points.Also, regarding this statement in the OP...for power amp, most people prefer solid state...... a major reason for that is simply the fact th... | |
| Most enduring audio purchase The body of my Grace F9E phono cartridge, with various replacements and upgrades of the stylus assembly over the years, has been my primary cartridge ever since I purchased it in 1979.Regards,-- Al | |
| Best Sounding Musicians Obviously plausible arguments could be made for countless artists, but I'll nominate a few of my favorites in the vocal category:Classical female vocalist: Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.Pop/jazz/folk female vocalist: Judith Durham.Classical male vocalist: J... | |
| Speaker Set Up...Math/Geometry Experts Please Help Thanks, Minkwelder. Based on your interpretation, which Mofi confirms, and based on the 38 inch height, 0.7539 degrees is correct. That would be the angle between the rear surface of the speaker and vertical, which I'm pretty certain is numericall... | |
| Speaker Set Up...Math/Geometry Experts Please Help Yes, I was envisioning that the level would be oriented front to back, not side to side.I get 2.866 degrees, based on the inverse sine of (0.5/10).Best,-- Al | |
| Speaker Set Up...Math/Geometry Experts Please Help Hi Mofi,First, let me make sure I understand how the 1/2 inch tilt is being defined. I think what you are saying is that the speaker should end up tilted back such that if the level is rested against the top front edge of the speaker, and the leve... | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. Bruce & Paraneer, I agree with George's comments. Also, Bruce, I see that ARC indicates for the PH8 a maximum load capacitance spec of 2000 pf, in addition to the "recommended load" spec of 100 pf.George, thanks for the info on the DEQX. I'm p... |
