| Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms case in point: I run a Dynavector DV 507MK2 with a Zyx Universe and a Mørch UP4 with a Scheu MC Analogue: on rock music, the Mørch is clearly preferred whereas the Dynavector on Classic and Jazz is miles ahead | |
| Cheap grounding solution @pauly actually no, as I said, cnnect all three leads (i.e. ground, live and neutral to the ground post on both ends, so your consideration doesn‘t come into it. The point is to provide a high capacitance link to the ground, shielding comes from t... | |
| Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms Is it just me who is marvelling at Mijostyn‘s certainties in life?; he is again spouting generalities from insufficient data. In particular I‘d like to challenge him with a good Mørch or Hadcock design with a suitable cartride (e.g. Musicmaker, t... | |
| Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output @atmasphere ,did you mean to really argue that balanced cables show no difference in sonic signature? That I believe would be a claim difficult to prove…. | |
| SET vs OTL @atmasphere Ralph, are you able to address my comparison between Graaf GM20 and Wavac EC300b in the same way? I am not yet convinced that the issues raised by @pani aren‘t valid in the same way.For what it‘s worth I have yet to hear a balanced con... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters The germaine issue here is that old geezers can‘t hear above 12 kHz if they are lucky to even get that far. Yet they can tell when a supertweeter with a 15kHz cutoff is present and the effects are wholly beneficial. Go figure what to measure for s... | |
| SET vs OTL @atmasphere,there were two factors that made me move from Graaf +Autoformers to Wavac:Comparing bass performance, the Wavac was more tuneful and ‘dry’ whereas the Graaf was ‘fruity’ and more wallowingIn terms of attack on individual instruments th... | |
| Cheap grounding solution It all depends on how dirty or clean your local environment is: I live near two schools with 1500 pupils in the centre of London and get RFI/EMI by the boat load. Using unshielded cables anywhere near the power supply simply asks for ingress of such… | |

| Cheap grounding solution You plug the ground only connected power plug into the socket indeed. The whole idea is to get a strong ground connection as often circuit boards are not properly connected | |
| Cheap grounding solution I am obviously not in any way a technical expert but it seems similar devices (Gutwire) are positively reviewed by the likes of audiobacon, audiophileman and 6moons and sold by the CableCo. Seems another religious war is in the making. | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Hey millercarbon,welcome to the supertweeter church: I covered the subject on my thread about my Murata ES103As. Didn‘t get much traction but wish people for once were listening; It makes a huge difference and I hope your post gets people to recon... | |
| SET vs OTL @pani,touché: your description is dead-on. That said all but the best SETs suffer from their transformers: it usually sounds like there has been a cushion put on the music; yes, the flow is there but it somewhat sounds muffled and damped. Other th... |
