| Tenor OTL 75wi vs 175s Pani, based on your post above I think the problem is you just don't have enough power.So you might want to consider a more efficient loudspeaker or a more powerful amplifier. The problem is that you have heard what OTLs do and you are not going t... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre I didn't know MAC used ringers.At the time they only had one other person playing bass. So they came to my high school looking for recruits as we were close by and our orchestra was the best high school orchestra in the state. Times sure have chan... | |
| looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar Ralph, theory is fine, but the fact is that even our mother planet has a resonant frequency. I fear that it's a bit utopian to expect an armwand to accomplish what our planet cannot do (to dissipate all vibrations into heat).Our planet is supposed... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? Cost really doesn't have much to do with it- how good it sounds does. Many preamps have a price tag that is not in line with how they sound. I've seen $2000 preamps take $13,000 preamps and eat them for breakfast- better in every way. Yet people w... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? "the last one I played before I went back to tubes" :) | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Schubert, I played string bass in a local high school and was recruited to also play in the Mac Orchestra when I was a senior in high school. I continued to play there for a couple of years and also in the St. Paul Civic Orchestra, also conducted ... | |
| Tenor OTL 75wi vs 175s Some obvious speaker recommendations are the Classic Audio Loudspeakers, also Audiokinesis. We've used both at shows with our OTLs of similar power to excellent effect!Any speaker that is at least 8 ohms in the bass region (without dips below 6 oh... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Are you Norwegian? Nope. We moved here in 1970 from North Carolina. | |
| looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar Viewed under a high-powered microscope (Geoffrey's other profession has been in Laser Optics), even the highest spec metal bearings have a very irregular surface. That, of course, creates sticktion.The hardest metal bearings are not commercially a... | |

| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre Bdp24, the Aurios Pro Bearings I use did get mentioned by me earlier. They work fine.Paul at TRL was on me for years to buy a Scully and let him mod it. I would love to own a tape player but I have young kids and its just not practical.BTW, I spen... | |
| The best preamp without a doubt..in my experience ^^ getting a preamp to jump through all those hoops would be a trick. Balanced and single-ended are inherently incompatible for starters. to continue:Adjusting the phono input impedance is something only needed if the phono circuit is unstable wit... | |
| Solid state phono/linestage vs Tubes There are tube preamps that accept the phono cartridge as a balanced source using XLR connections. A nice advantage of that is the cable no longer plays a sonic role in the sound of the system. That's what the balanced line system is for after all... | |
| looking at upgrading my tonearm from a triplanar Hello Doug, I'm simply stating the theory. The bearing should have nothing to do with vibration from the cartridge.If the arm tube is properly damped and the effective mass is given proper attention it will be found that this is the case. You can ... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre TheKong, its actually a pretty simple concept: A point has a large area at one end and a very small area at the other. So vibration at the large end can be focused into the point; vibration at the point is defocused at the large end. While not nea... |
