| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? You said that was correct....You then contradict yourself by writing:-The result is it is quite impervious to the volume level in the room; even at 110 db the sound is still very relaxed. The two statements are logically incompatible.No amount of ... | |
| More resistance is less load?? It's easier for a speaker manufacturer to get a steady impedance (which amongst other things increases the potential for frequency linearity) with lower impedances than higher numerical impedances.This statement is false in several ways. Impedan... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? i don’t think anyone is suggesting that damping techniques are 100% effective. Actually Geoff, I was being accosted about that very thing when I pointed out that it was impossible for any damping system to be 100% effective (perfect). | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? It really doesn’t matter much to me if people wish to create a fantasy parallel universe in which the laws of physics, evidence and data don’t exist. Audiophiles are renowned for indulging in such shenanigans.But when some, proffer nonsense as ... | |
| More resistance is less load?? there might be measurements that suggest that there were other benefits that made foregoing better measurements at the amplifier worth it. That measurement is power, which equates to sound pressure. Otherwise there is no real advantage to a low i... | |
| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? as a matter of fact, those Sylvania which i have currently installed are extremely microphonic. Are you suggesting it might cause the issue i'm talking about? Microphonics can cause brightness and amusicality. Any tube used for audio should be ... | |
| Cartridge loading question ^^ That does seem like a low value for a moving magnet- I would have expected it to be 10 to 100 times higher! | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Most people follow this belief but if you had studied acoustics and the science of materials, you would know that materials react to air-borne sound by a mixture of:-ReflectionAbsorption (as heat)Transmission (passing directly through)It is onl... | |
| Cartridge loading question You have to find some way to get it across the cartridge terminals.Our preamps have a load strip on the back so its rather easy. Other preamps may only have settings available from the front panel. If that is the case, you'll have to get some conn... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? My posts were based on the information you supplied or didn't. How can I ignore facts which weren't offered? Trying to make someone wrong is a simple technique, which weve seen on the web countless times. In so doing, the goal is not mutual unders... | |
| Cartridge loading question If you reread my last post, you will see that you have to obtain the control- a stereo potentiometer and then wire it as a stereo rheostat. Radio Shack used to sell just the thing for about $5.00; this one should do nicely: http://www.ebay.com/itm... | |
| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? However, it is 6sn7GTB therefore not to much choice to play with, unless try not GTB but that, as i understand, not recommendedThere are plenty of 6SN7 types out there, and in a preamp I would expect that a GT, GTA or GTB could be used. You might... | |
| Cartridge loading question You can get pretty close by ear, but to do it you need a stereo potentiometer, wired as a stereo rheostat, loading the cartridge. I usually use a 100K device.Turn down the control until the highs seem to go away and then back off. There should be ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Yes indeed...because Ralph can, with the same conviction that he demonstrates his turntable theories....can postulate that OTL valve amplification is the only true path to audio Nirvana....despite the observable distortions.For the record, this is... | |
| Cartridge loading question High output moving iron: The lower the load resistance, the more it will roll off. There is a particular resistance value such that the cartridge will neither ring (overshoot) or be rolled off, this value is known as the 'critical damping' value. ... |
