| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? However, as it most apparent on complex, avangarde jazz pieces (Kith Jarett, Jan Garbarek, Chick Corea etc.) it looses musical connection (?) It does it on any kind of music, but on regular music it is less obvious, because it still have enough... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? A table with a suspension is a different story.A suspension is irrelevant. The rigidity of the plinth is what is important. Unless that means something other than what it says, you're changing your story. My 'story' has been 100% consistent throug... | |
| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? P.S. Guys, this is pure technical question. I'm not asking which preamp does it all, so please no preamp recommendations!!! I just want to understand what is causing said phenomena, that is it.Thank you for understanding.The reason a preamp may ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Dear @atmasphere : According with my very high ignorance level there are some things that goes against your " scientific " test:- as @halcro posted one of your premises is that exist movement in the stand alone pillar. Why don’t choose as premise ... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? "The motion of the pillar"......There you go again. Nobody is claiming that a "moving pillar" is good but you have simply assumed that ALL pillars move because you yourself have used a 'moving' pillar (which you still refuse to disclose despite... | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy If the speakers are not broken in, they are most likely to be over-damped. | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? Air borne vibration will hit the record/platter directly, as it also hits a plinth and arm. Any such vibration transmitted via the plinth will arrive after the event. How will this insure coincident behavior between arm and platter?Again, for w... | |

| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy @mapman, if I recall, your speakers are 4 ohms. Damping factor as a spec is usually stated with respect to 8 ohms. So in reality your speakers seem to need an amp with a damping factor of about 25, once you correct for the impedance. As I stated e... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? You apparently believe that all separate arm pillars are the same regardless of size, weight, construction, density and supports.The only reason an arm pillar can move in different planes and rates is if it is inadequate.They all have one thing i... | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy I seriously doubt that 0.45% change is audible. However, a general rule of thumb is that an amp with a DF of 20 or below has sonic consequences. Doing the math, the speaker in this case is 95% of the load -- a considerable change that results i... | |
| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? First we're told, **All we have to do is place the turntable in a room with speakers playing loudly and then measure the output of the cartridge.**Then, **As to sound pressure- we get about 90-95db of noise going on when mastering. The vacuum s... | |
| ... how important is Damping factor in determining what amp to buy Who wouldn’t want better control of the bass drivers? Wouldn’t that yield tight and accurate bassActually no. It **might**. Any loudspeaker can be overdamped- IOW, you can have too much damping. The result is 'punchy' bass without much in the way ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? The Atma-sphere may sound fine and all,but I've known atleast two different sets which have started on fire.They must sound well though the crazy bastards had Ralph fixem and just bought a fire extinguisher.This is an out and out lie. I'm sure ... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) This was the first thing that came up when I googled it: I saw that too. That's an organization, not a field of endeavor like mechanical or electrical engineeringI'm also an AIAA engineer.Given your posts here, highly unlikely. |
