| Is there actually a difference? Usually tube has good presence but loss of fine detail. Solid state sounds more tight but very detailed. I find that tubes generally have more detail than solid state, in particular when it comes to low level detail. Its the low level detail that ... | |
| which is a better match for best results ^^ Erik, perhaps you can enlighten me- how do you tweak a speaker so that it does rock better than any other genre? | |
| Switched from RCA to XLR Interconnects - WOW No sense to have XLR from your cartridge but everything else analog should be XLR, preferably the components should all work at pro level to give you the maximum headroomThis statement, IMO, is false. Cartridges are a balanced source, so it tota... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR On the other hand, you would find the older SL-1200mk2 to be quite inferior to the SL-1600mk2 because it has no isolation of the plinth from the base, which is nestled in a rubber enclosure on rubber feet. Agreed! The older SL1200s have appearan... | |
| which is a better match for best results Ok, not sure what absolutist bible exists that portends the efficacy of all amps for all music types! THAT is lunacy. Classical, jazz and rock can favor very different frequencies and musical tastes. This may come as a bit of a surprise, but d... | |
| Fixing up a Fisher KX-200 Its OK that the cardboard/paper shell can spin. Its not actually part of the capacitor inside. Its just glued on. That cap is part of the voltage doubler circuit; here is a suitable replacement that won't need the cardboard tube, but you will need... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR The SL-1200G /GR are very nice turntables, but I feel they aren’t -that- much of a step up from the SL-1600mk2The plinth and platter of the SL1200G are much better damped (the SL1600 has no damping in the platter at all) and the plinth of the SL12... | |
| which is a better match for best results If they are that way with rock, they'll be that way with everything else too as soon as it gets complex. The kind of music won't matter.This is without any doubt the most common myth in audio- that equipment favors a certain kind of music. I had a... | |
| Use of a Schiit Loki with Dynaco PAS 3x You already did the change- I think you're good to go.Have you refurbished the PAS-3?? If its stock, it needs new power supply filter capacitors for both the high voltage and the filament supply! I would also replace the selenium rectifier with a ... | |
| Might try a tube preamp Since your amplifier is integrated and there doesn't appear to be a direct input to the power amp section, I don't see how a preamp tube or solid state would help.But the amp does have a set of balanced inputs and seems to be internally balanced, ... | |
| which is a better match for best results which is the best suited pre amp for rock and jazz Electronics can in no way favor a certain form of music! Can't happen- no how no way. | |
| cart/phono stage compatibility - Help! Set the load impedance as high as possible. if you encounter brightness, begin to lower the load impedance.The load impedance is not for the benefit of the cartridge. It is there to prevent Radio Frequency Interference from messing with the input ... | |
| Might try a tube preamp What is your budget? Do you need a phono section? What amplifier are you driving? Does it have a balanced input? | |

| RCA to XLR vs XLR to RCA... Converting Input or Output - Does It Matter?? I was just wondering if replacing the adapters w/Jensen tranny and adding another cable would be likely to provide enough Sq improvement to justify the cost.I doubt it very much. The less transformers in the signal chain the better IME. |
