| Please help me which music is that? Stefan, note that I said that NOD32 did NOT indicate any problems when I tried the link yesterday. While it is certainly possible that the problem it indicated when I first tried the link on the day your original post appeared was a false positive... | |
| vintagevacuumaudio.com See this article. He's in Memphis, TN. Fabulous site!Regards,-- Al | |
| Check out this web site Wow! Awesome find. I note that the online magazine collection can be searched by keywords. And many manuals and schematics are available as well.Thanks!!! Best regards,-- Al | |
| Please help me which music is that? 09-25-13: Stefanovitchany news?I just gave the link another try, after first creating an image of my entire hard drive that I could revert to if necessary. This time I received no warning from my anti-virus software. However a prompt appeared on t... | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 With respect to the Rhea, there is an impedance compatibility issue that needs to be considered. You mentioned in your other recent thread having a Bryston BP26 preamp, which has input impedances of 15K balanced and 50K unbalanced.According to JA'... | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage DB, after checking further I found the following quotes from John Curl, the very distinguished designer who as you are undoubtedly aware did the electrical design of the JC-3. The quotes appear on pages 3953 and 3956 of this thread:There is a 100p... | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage 09-22-13: DbphdThe input capacitance of the JC-3 is about 200 pF.Interesting. I'm surprised it's that high. The optimal load capacitance for many and probably most MM's falls somewhere in the area of 100 to 300 pf. A phono stage input capacitance ... | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage Ninox, in the case you described just above my guess is that the total load capacitance would probably not be very far outside of the recommended 150-300 pf range for either setting of the Moon's input capacitance. And it's quite possible that you... | |
| Long cables from turntable or phono stage 09-21-13: DbphdLast night the local Thorens expert recommended I move my Parasound JC-3 to a shelf just below my TD 124. The arm is an SME 3009 Series III with Ortofon SME 30H cartridge. Should I use a 1 meter cable even though a half meter would ... | |
| How long does it take you to install a cartridge? Mounting and connecting the cartridge, and adjusting overhang, offset, VTF, anti-skating, VTA/SRA, azimuth, and loading, takes me something like 5 or 6 hours. But once I'm done, I'm done. I don't generally continue to tweak the settings afterwards... | |
| An interesting experiment Thanks Bruce (Bifwynne)!Everything in your post is correct. For two impedances in parallel, assuming they are purely resistive (which is usually a good approximation when it comes to input impedances) their combined impedance is the product (multi... | |
| An interesting experiment George, after submitting my post just above I did notice something in your calculations that prompted me to look at them further. A minor correction: The attenuation at half the 3db bandwidth frequency won't be 1.5 db."-1.5 db" (in three places) s... | |
| An interesting experiment Cymbop, thank you most kindly! However, I respectfully decline the nomination, as I'd much rather spend time listening to my stereo than dealing with being President :-)George, thanks. I haven't checked your calculations, but I know from past thre... | |
| An interesting experiment A point that should be kept in mind is that the commonly stated 10x guideline for optimal impedance matching of line-level interfaces is commonly mistated and misinterpreted, as I see it.That guideline says that for line-level interfaces ideally t... | |
| Please help me which music is that? FYI, as soon as I clicked on the link my NOD32 anti-virus program put up a warning and blocked access to a particular IP address, which I assume was the address of an ad server associated with one of the popups. The warning indicated that address ... |
