| Riaa curve Maybe I aught to mention, I'm well acquainted with:- MIL spec requirements- Hi-Rel component testing and selection- Hot handling (testers)- Burn-in of components (re.: child-mortality)i.e. Component assembly and Testfield procedures, and MIL spec ... | |
| Riaa curve Funny, as I follow this % back and forth, I think of cartridge specs. - quoted cartridge specs - also in 0.2dB region say of channel balance. Then we test this baby - ha, ~1,8dB........ and all say wow, sounded marvellous. Brinkmanship? Who I ask,... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi All,does the world need yet another tonearm, I ask?Me, - I'm not so sure actually. But here a few point I took note of:We were getting our knickers in a twist over dynamic vs. static arm balance (all know by now what this is, yes?).Along comes ... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Hi,Most suggestions sound very good (the ones I have heard) -- B U T The Eagles "Hotel California" seems the exception here so far. Tubean, the CD that I have (Made in Germany) is truly and utterly **non-audiophile**. In contrast "hell freezes ove... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Hi Syntax,Mussorgsky 'Pictures at an Exhibition' (Classic, LSC-2201) Reiner CSO.As with some other living Stereo RCA's there have been some original full frequency/dynamic versions --- than came the complaints and they got much reduced in dynamics... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high D.actually one good argument for an SME 12", since it now will not touch the record any longer, if going that low. I must remember that.AND as you indicate between the lines ---- the cart has to play ball!!!Cart too tall? Everything moves too high... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi,it looks like I'm sorted with my set-up now.I'm using a V15 III xMR cart going into the 60dB! (40dB sux!!!!) phono-module input (differential) inside the 326S and use unity gain (0dB) setting.It also balances OK with my CD (390S) XLR only needs... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob,I go along with the: "Deep, yes, but definitely not controlled/life-like..." What ever that exactly is of course. Recall the Portland Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (I think was mentioned) having more lower Mid / Upper bass, as compared to som... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias I second 'hell freezes over' since there is a practically identical (mastered) CD easily available also.Syntex, are you suggesting my two RCA re-issues are now TOO good? Or are you on about some other items?Else might we need to have a "TOO good" ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high D. very well,no need for lengthy scientific discourse. How about some info on the world-wide-web? If there's something, excellent. If not, I guess we ARE being a bit esoteric then.It gets also back (for me) to the placement of the pivot, to be EXA... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high OK, quickly before breakfast is over.>>> - when the counterweight determines the VTF the tonearm itself is no longer balanced......<<<Neither is it once VTF with a spring is applied. Just that one un-balancing force in 'gravitati... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi D.please ac you try and answer Perrew's question if you may. Not sure what he is getting at. If there is a CW, it will move, dynamic or static.Maybe you can answer this more appropriately? (...since Raul is still in bed :-)Axel | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Right,I vote for: - A. Krauss 'so long so wrong'- Santana (MFSL re-issue) 'ABRAXAS'- Mussorgsky 'Pictures at an Exhibition' (Classic, LSC-2201) Reiner CSO- Rachmaninov 'Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini' (Classic LSC-2430) Reiner CSO | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hey D.it was our dear friend: Perrew, asking that CW related question, by (I guess) looking at a dismantled arm pic sans CW, OK :-) | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Hi,yes, I guess we need an attempt to 'level the paying field' (pun intended)."Folk Singer" as mentioned, also some possible synergy with digital, yes?Now, 'Folk Singer' on UltradiscII UDCD 593 STEREO sounds very good, so it does on CHESS records ... |
