| Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ? According to them the separate tonearm pillar version sounds more transparent and quieter because of the isolation of the tonearm from the TT.This statement from the original post is false.The problem you are up against is an engineering issue a... | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? Kijanki, I have to straighten you out on a few things!1st- the use of balanced line is lower noise from the cables no matter the length, assuming that the input of the amp is properly designed.2nd- the even ordered cancellation thing the way you a... | |
| Linear Tracking Turntables - Best?? I can't really imagine any slop affecting the performance. The engineering issue is similar to the steering and suspension in a car. If there is any slop, the result is scary and dangerous handling. In a tone arm/cartridge situation, it plays out ... | |
| Do supertweeters matter when we cant hear past 15,000 hz? ^^ Its not the ability to hear to 20KHz or beyond that is why you can hear differences in bandwidth outside of the 'audio region'. Please read Kijanki's post above.When you have a rolloff at or near the audio passband, its audible as phase shift d... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. I hate to speak before all the facts are in but it kind of appears that you are the only one confused by the symbol that looks pretty much like an arrow. What makes matters worse for your position is that the HiFi Tuning fuses actually sound co... | |
| 1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ? ^^ I find the Pink Island of ELP's first LP to more lively than the Cotillion, smoother and more detailed at the same time. I've had several copies of each over the years and this comparison has been consistent. FWIW though the Cotillion issue is ... | |
| More resistance is less load?? ^^ Yes. Take a look at the specs and you will see. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. When a manufacturer marks it’s fuses with directional arrows it means they believe their fuses are uh, directional. When a manufacturer publishes detailed measurement data that shows differences in resistance depending on direction of the fuse ... | |
| 1st pressed vinyl best ones to get ? Generally speaking, you want the original pressing from the country in which the recording was made. This is because there is usually a feedback mechanism between the artist and the LP pressing plant where a test pressing is produced which is then... | |
| More resistance is less load?? OK- now we got the basic part- a greater load is less resistance, less of a load is higher. There is more of a take-away than this however. It has to do with power vs distortion (and also in the case of tubes bandwidth may be affected). **If** hig... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Chances are good any customers who know you doesn’t wish to irritate you by bringing up fuse directionality. ;-)This statement is false. Our customers are quite eager to supply feedback and we pay attention to it. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. As a long time manufacturer of amplifiers and pre- amplifiers I hope you will share in detail the feedback your customers have conveyed to you concerning which fuses improved the sound and which did not. So far all the comments we have received ... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Apparently when you run out of rational arguments there is always the old fallback to name calling. Actually no- the principle is 'attack the argument not the person', otherwise you could report my post. You have mis-stated things, quite clearly... | |
| Where do you guys buy tubes? @atmasphere Is preconditioning what tube-sellers are usually talking about when they offer 24 hour burn in of power tubes?Generally not. Ralph,What value of B+?since those tubes you got from the seller, he already applied B+ on them when they w... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS ^^ Folks, this is what complete and utter nonsense looks like. |
