| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas To be clear, at no point have I stated that loading affects the frequency response of a LOMC cartridge. Your statements to the contrary are false. Please cease and desist. When you engage in such statements and then debunk them, you a... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp My question is how significant that affect the cantilever to be stiffer and introducing possible tracking issues, OR its effect is negligible? Your target for mechanical resonance is between 7-12Hz. The mechanical resonance is a product of the ... | |
| Revox A77 mk2 @cwz have you tried rebuilding them? I've had a number of Ampex, Revox, Magnacord and other machines with noisy bearings but I've never had to replace one of them; I simply made sure they were properly lubricated. | |
| Best RtoR tape for a Revox A77 @cleeds is correct. Your Revox can work with any tape; it simply has to be calibrated to work with a particular tape in record mode. | |
| BAT Preamp Output Design Changes - Why? Any idea on why this flip-flop in preamp design? Afterall, neither transformers nor capacitors are new technologies – why such a major change in design approach? @captc2 By using coupling capacitors, the preamp, although balanced, was unable to... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp J.Carr ( Lyra cartridge designer and phono stage Connoissour. ) said/posted: " Phono cartridges are floating sources rather than balanced..." If JCarr really said this, then he isn't aware of how balanced operation works. A dynamic micropho... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Latter on appeared the active high gain phono stages to drive LOMC in exclusive way with no facilities to handle MM/MI cartridges, even those LOMC phono stages cames ( even some today ) with impedance load different values choices coming from 100... | |
| Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Back when tubes were king, high efficiency speakers were very common because tube power was (and continues to be) expensive. When solid state amps were commonplace, speaker efficiency started to go down. The problem here is that it never helps t... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas Apparently you've yet to sort out that I've never stated that loading affects frequency response of LOMC cartridges. Please cease and desist from claiming otherwise. 47K is the standard loading value for all cartridges, which is why... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp In this context, is there any relationship between cartridge bandwidth and cantilever stiffness? The stiffness is a function of the load impedance. Obviously it will be more supple if loaded at 47KOhms as opposed to 100Ohms! This says nothing ... | |
| if someone can help me...... @kennesawjet One speaker could be out of phase with the other. If this happens the system will behave as you describe. To see if this is the case, simply reverse the connections on the back of one speaker only. Play a track with good bass in it ... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp You follow with your tale at Munich but in at least 3 different threads in different internet forums where you, JC and I participated about and where you posted your same " tale " he never confirmed that agree in that " less able to track HF ". ... | |
| Question on PrimaLuna EVO 400 Amp: Fully Balanced (Differential), or No? If the amplifier employs AC filaments for the voltage amplifier tubes, a cathode/filament short in a tube could cause that. | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Raul's handwaving aside, I agree 100% with what JCarr has stated, quoted by Raul during his handwaving nonsense above. Loading does not affect the bandwidth of the cartridge, nor is that something I stated. Raul is employing a strawman argument (... | |
| Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. Connecting to one speaker only ½ works for mono bass such as on LPs. Master tapes do not have mono bottom. @ieales At 80Hz, the waveform is 14 feet long. The ear cannot know a tone is there until the entire waveform has passed by it, and to ... |
