| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" Any arm can do 70 microns or even 80. Its no big deal and Triplanars can do it too no worries.I don't need a test LP; I can perform tests using my lathe.The technical story is easy to understand. I'm sure most that have read this far followed it w... | |
| Balanced and RCA concurrently? There is no danger, but it won't work. The other sources plugged into the amp will load the preamp, and vice versa.What you need is a preamp with more inputs, and possibly also a balanced output. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" Folks, just so you know, 50 microns is about the same as 2 mils (which is how groove deflection is measured in the US if you have American-made LP mastering gear). Many systems use microns these days as many cutter systems are European-made. 2 mil... | |
| 12AT nos , flash at start ? When you see that flash, its the flash of quality. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? @celo , maybe.The real number to look at is the output impedance of the DAC at 20hz. If that is the same number then I would say your chanced are good with a passive control, if you keep the cables short. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" @nandric , the above and this:Interestingfinding for someone who does not own a single test record andalso does not believe in test records. Shows that you are an adept at the Stawman. I never said I don't believe in test records, I just said I do... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? But both are not detailed specific related aspects, they are generalizations... and are laid on top of the scenario as if they are the perfected fundamentals of the question or equation.Since the question obviously remains unanswered in a way c... | |
| Quick Poll: Which of the following systems sounds best with Vandersteen 2C's? That speaker is really tube friendly and the best I've ever heard it has always been with tubes. FWIW. | |
| Capacitance loading and fixed coil cartridges @karl_desch , Here's how it works:With a low output cartridge you don't add any capacitance!The issue of loading (which is what you are asking about) works like this: The cartridge has an inductance which interacts with any capacitance present (us... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" @nandric , I have several LPs which I recorded (the first being Canto General, music of Mikas Theodorakis). For that recording we got the biggest bass drum in the state, which was a good six feet across. I have the master tapes and I know how this... | |
| I need a good Preamp @wemfan, Atma-Sphere produced the first balanced line products for high end audio. That was back in the mid 1980s. | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design @charles1dad , I think you might misunderstand. People hang on to their equipment, sometimes for life **regardless of the equipment**. To say that it "never goes one way" as you did earlier must be seen by a reasonable person as incorrect. That's ... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" I don't belive that I need lessons about the use ofquantifiers. I addressed the participants in this thread so my quantor ''nobody'' does not include the whole universe but only members whoreacted to my post. You are also included because you also... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design These things never move in only one direction. When I first got started decades ago it took me a while to get used to the fact that people would sell our amps and look for something else. Over the years though the one thing that has really shown ... | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" To my surprise nobody try the same experiment but invented all kinds of answers whichare irrelevant for my question.@nandric, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. ’Nobody’ is incorrectly used in your posts so far. ’Some people’ might b... |
