| Chasing 60 hz hum Ralph, isn't that very commonly done intentionally, notwithstanding the fact that it creates the ground loop issue you are describing? And if so, wouldn't a fix (a)be likely to be hard to implement, and (b)be likely to degrade the integrity of the... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? The how we actually hear stuff is fine but I don't see how what you say applies to analog only. Both analog and digital are shooting for similar results as best I can tell and I have heard both do quite well despite the inherent limitations of eac... | |
| Chasing 60 hz hum If you have to use cheaters to get rid of hum, then the problem is that the equipment itself is incorrectly wired.The problem is that the chassis ground and the circuit ground are the same thing, which means the equipment is wired with a ground lo... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Al is right, my 64-bit idea is mostly fantasy :)Here is the problem, in a nutshell, the problem that seems to plague **all** aspects of audio:There are the Rules of Human Hearing/Perception, and there are the specs on paper. They are not the same-... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS I agree with Audiofeil w/regards to the arm of the 1200. Nice table, especially with some of the mods mentioned, and the arm will be better too with the mods mentioned.But- regardless up updates, the arm of that table is the bottleneck. I've had a... | |
| Pre-amp with balanced suggestions? The MP-3 mentioned earlier can have the phono stage installed at a later date if desired. The phono section is fully differential and balanced; FWIW historically was/is the first balanced phono stage ever built. | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Ralph, what do you feel is the more significant limiting factor for redbook, sample rate or bits per sample? Just curious.Well, the Nyquist theorem is looking for an exact sample (IOW with no limitation of resolution) in order to work, by definiti... | |
| Phono Pre-amp with XLR quote]However making a balanced amp is more expensive since you will need almost twice the components.[/quote]It is more expensive but you do not need twice the components. Maybe 50% more if you are talking tubes, maybe not even that if you are ta... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I knew this guy that used a pigskin platter pad... he would buy *raw* pigskin at the local slaughterhouse, cut it out and kept the thing in a jar in the 'fridge when not in use, until the bacteria got to it... the LPs tended to get greasy and smel... | |
| Opinions on Graaf Amps Zebshaw, likely the problem you are having has more to do with the power tubes than the amp.A simple way to get greater reliability out of the tubes is, if you have a new set, put them in the amp and run it in Standby for about 2 days, and the bia... | |
| Reel to Reel; Digital players ; & Turntables/LP's reel to reel is still number one.LP is right behind.Both analog formats have continued to improve.The best digital is number three. Digital has a lot more potential than is ever practically realized. Unfortunately **too much** unrealized potential... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? I'm stumped on that one. Why is that?re-read my previous posts. The Nyquist theorem is poorly applied. I will add that until human perceptual rules are understood and kept in mind during the design of the 'next' digital codex, digital will continu... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Just wondering how good is your hearing at 19-20Khz?Certainly not as good as it was...Bandwidth problems can be heard without 20KHz response in the ear though. A cutoff at 20KHz has artifacts that extend down to 2KHz. This is why amps and preamps ... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Yes. Nyquist assumes an analog sample of unlimited resolution, not a 16-bit sample. Its application to digital audio is thus, not. Ah, people don't like to talk about this! Or they do but it just turns into a ridiculous argument. But I suggest any... |
