| Supex SD-900 MKIV impedance loading Hi Dougdeaconaye, the 25x DCR if you do NOT use an SUT :-)Otherwise? You may recall our little tête-à-tête, or was it Lewm that begged the wisdom of 2.5x in the case of an SUT involved? I then had referred him to the Lyra spec. sheets that make a ... | |
| Riaa curve Hi EldartfordI'd love to learn from the pro's perspective about that "RIAA equalization when the LP is cut", please if you would share it.I think it should add some perspective to the subject on hand i.e. "Riaa curve" and not RIAA curve error tole... | |
| Riaa curve Dear Raul:I actually think you explained your position VERY WELL, and I also believe what you say when referring to your testing and listing --- AND I also think that the better tolerance is a better thing to have, --- if it makes commercially via... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee You guys are killing me with YOUR non-distorted sibilants --- like Daffy Duck :-) | |
| What are the treasures in your vinyl library? E. Grieg, Peer Gynt, Oivin Fjeldstad with LSO, DECCA 2012, Silver Wide Band :-) | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi SaudioEAR 324, a good one in the context of MM - alas it showed some issues with too little head-room in the 20Hz region. Not a lot going on down there mostly, but still.The 88PB would be more ===> MC targeted I'd guess. | |
| Riaa curve Dear Raul,>>> ... in some way this part tolerances are the limits to. <<< Exactly, what was on my mind also, tires have tolerances so have measuring gauges. Pushing the envelope is fine by me - but maybe not always quite 'reasona... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Perrew,a very good question I say. My best guess would be: ***a good CD player*** -- no arguments about 'socks' and resonances either :-) | |
| Riaa curve Sorry about the typo's, (need an editor sooner or later :-)emperor = emperor's; fat = flat; just begs = begs; WAY-OF = WAY-OFF | |
| Riaa curve Hi,I'm sure there is more then one way to measure RIAA error to start with. If so, we are arguing about the emperor beard.For instance to get to a fat response you need to have an inverse RIAA network, yes?Now that in itself needs to be MORE accur... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Tom,re.: Reflex & Elevator...>>> But apparently it's not what Axel considered "top end" when he asked the original question.<<<Actually I'm not really in a position to be the 'judge' on what a "top-end" MM-stage comprises (ot... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi,>>> Now if your tonearm or other tonearm needs a wrap IMHO something is wrong with that tonearm or with the tonearm/cartridge combination or even in other link in the audio system chain. <<<I agree with Raul. Now Raul thought ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,Raul is expressing my exact thoughts on the subject: >>> ... the best " false transparency " with a little over-bright cartridges <<<Phaser, I'm afraid as far as the newer MMs go it's all in the same "little over-bright" d... | |
| Riaa curve Hi Eldartford,>>> Perhaps your spec of 1 dB is a misprint. <<<Maybe ML printed some figure based on reality?I am suspicious of measured claimed performance until someone else measures and verifies it.Looking at J.A.'s (Audiophile... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hallo D. , T_bone>>> Other way of damping a tonearm is heat skrink pipe - large area and good damping. This is an old trick on the SME V (Axel !!) to eliminate its vibration peak towards the bearing (blue-tech works fine too). <<<... |
