| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I remember that when I posted that a difference in digital recording for the better was that bass range can be recorded stereo due that digital has no limitation as analog that always needs the bass range mono and you posted that even that it c... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Yes, I've met Stan. He was very nice, liked our room and Canto General which I played for him. If you think digital is 'immutable' think again- why do people endlessly talk about which site has the better file to stream, which CD is the better ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? In the other side and talking of that specs " tree " in those old times the Studer R2R mike owns were not designed for home use by audiophiles but to be used by recording studios and Studer was not the only R2R with the quality levels for that ki... | |
| Amp Internal Wire I’m not getting into the debate over conductor material but would recommend Teflon for the insulator. Why? High melting temperature so less likely to damage it while soldering and then there is the whole low dielectric absorption thing. Teflon ... | |
| Playing with Cartirdge loading on my phono stage @holmz That is going to depend on how the phono section reacts to the RFI and IME that depends largely on the circuit itself so a blanket answer will be inaccurate. If it were me I would be looking at all those things. Its also worth noting that t... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? @filipm I think you have already determined that the ground pin of the IEC connector is tied to chassis. Is there an impedance between the chassis and the ground of the input signal? It may be that a component in the grounding scheme of the phono ... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement there is no top sparkle, midrange has never had lively crunch as A or AB no matter how many times you sell your selves they are so awesome, better than class A or AB, ................Nobody says it's better than A- A/B... Really?... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas @mikelavigne -Look, these are some specs of the Studer A820 that confirms in some ways what you posted and I said here: tape speed deviation: +,- 0.2% - tape slip: +,- 01% . Speed stability here is even more critical issue than in... | |
| Playing with Cartirdge loading on my phono stage does that mean we can just select the load with an o-scope? and select the highest resistant value possible? It would be better to use a distortion analyzer, but this would only be of benefit if the phono section can't deal with the RFI on its ... | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? If tips from phono stage manufs including Jud @ Joule-Electra(RIP), Kevin@K&K and everyone here couldn't resolve it, it was time to move on. @sbank If that was a JE phono section, the input gain stage was so starved for current that it eas... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this the industry standard of 47kΩ was adopted from the MM cartridge world and applied to the MC realm because is first and foremost "does no harm".... until you throw a SUT into the mix that is. Once a SUT is added the load the cartridge can see can... | |
| Playing with Cartirdge loading on my phono stage Would it not depend on the frequency response of your speakers in your listening room with your tastes for sound in mind? No. The reason the sound changes is due to distortion- LOMC cartridges and the tonearm cable together form an electrical r... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement Ralph, could this have been possible without the GAN ? If so, why wait so long ? Yes. There's a lot of noise around the 'sound' of class D amps on the internet (IME class D amps can vary in sound quite dramatically, more so than the sound of va... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement The reason why I think more manufacturers will be using their resources in developing Digital and even lower cost Class D amps is in part due to the energy efficiency. The reason we did it is because the switching nature of the class allows the... | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this Do you not think the cartridge designer and manufacturer knows what they are doing when they recommend a minimum of 100ohms ? They know that the designer of the phono preamp may not have taken the RFI generated by the cartridge and tonearm cabl... |
