Technics SL1200G vs GAE
Will either of those "fit" without modifying the mount? Which is to say do either of those two have the same pivot to spindle distance as the stock tonearm? And will, particularly, the Reed mount over the hole in the arm board, since it is a s... 
TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue
what is wrong is coming for a faulty design.I think we can all agree that all arms have compromises; nothing is perfect. Having recorded and produced LPs and also having mastered them myself though, I can safely say that amongst arms its price and... 
Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap
you'll need an amp with current,What is meant by that? Enough current to drive the speaker? Or something else?We had no trouble getting excellent bass on the Sashas using our MA-1, which may or may not be a 'high current' amplifier, depending on w... 
high frequency intermittent noise
I got my phone steaming videos last night and put it INSIDE my F5 right up against the left amp board. Nelson knows his stuff.If the amp is not properly stopped, it will be almost impossible to make this problem stop (if you will pardon the expres... 
Technics SL1200G vs GAE
The GAE is the same machine but with fancier cosmetics as it is the Anniversary Edition.  
Transfiguration cartridges. What tube phono stages would you use them with ?
Transfiguration Orpheus, Atma-Sphere MP-1 or MP-3.... 
What makes tape sound better than vinyl ?
Good vinyl can have as much as 70dB dynamic range on the outer edge.Its easily higher than that (I run an LP mastering operation); but compression and tape are often the reasons why you don't see that in practice.Direct to disc recordings will not... 
Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system?
I find that most 'full range' speakers aren't. If you really want the bass right, you'll need a sub, if you really want extension in the highs, a tweeter.Most full range units don't make it much below 50-60 Hz. That's a bit of a bottleneck. Becaus... 
Amplification for Wilson Audio Sasha on the cheap
The Sasha is easy to drive and if you like tubes, most any 100 watt tube amp will do the job with plenty of bass despite the low impedance at 80Hz.  
On/Off switch for RM_9 Mk1 does anyone know the voltage that isneeded for switch?
The switch should be rated 250VAC and at least 10 amps. I would expect these specs to be printed on the old part.The switch should be bypassed with a .01uf 1000V capacitor to prevent arcing. Its not a bad idea to install a current inrush limiter i... 
Phono stages employing feedback & record scratch "tic"
It can be an influence, but there is more to it than that.Its the actual stability of the circuit that determines how much it will exacerbate ticks and pops. The stability is not based on feedback. Feedback can add higher ordered harmonics of its ... 
TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue
You are a manufacturer not a simple audiophile/audio customer as me.Wow. Just- wow.So as a manufacturer, that makes me less qualified to see when someone is insulting others and making uncalled for remarks??Sheesh.  
I have joined in the ZYX Family
Assuming you’re not using stepup transformers, the optimum impedance for a LO (.24mv) ZYX will usually fall somewhere between 50 and 200 ohms. The ideal value will vary from system to system, since it depends on the electrical characteristics o... 
Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII
Klipsch claims 101 db sensitivity on that speaker. I suspect that won't work well with the Aragon. The reason is that the amplifier will be operating for the most part at very low power. Most amps like this make more, not less, distortion at power... 
Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE
It is no longer about voicing or preference anymore.@fsmithjack  Was it ever? I don't know of any designer that 'voices' their electronics. We never have. Had you ever considered a tube preamp with a direct-coupled output?
