| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi MrtennisI hear what you say, but maybe it misses a fine point here. We do get attracted to things that can be unsettling, or frightening ---- until it gets too much, or until we realise/notice what is happening to our emotion. Not such a cut an... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? When I said "There is still more to it that I know..."We are talking about music (mostly, I hope...) and how odd, the matter of harmonics has not been brought up at ALL this far?!There is this quality of 'jarring' in sound. I would relate that to ... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi, I just try to answer some inputs here.>>> it's not the equipment, it's our fears--irrational or real.<<<Well, then it IS OUR OWN EQUIPMENT, it's the major part of the audio chain, no? :-)>>> it's all in your mind. if... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Hi,one last word on vinyl's water absorption. If you look with a microscope at / into a groove it is revelatory --- nowhere near as smooth as say the end-wax, right?Using water on it will soften the vinyl, even a 1/3 Isopropyl mix will, but less s... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Howdy,McKillRoy is watching... There are some really good contributions, I think. Not even the usual sort of bickering :-)Folks are loosening up and let it flow, that's really good because music and what reproduces music is a lot about that.We are... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Vinyl is nothing other than some doped PVC. It will 'take up some small amount of water in the 'rough' groove area. The MAIN contributor is detergent (liquid soap), which removes the surface tension and by this mechanism allows the absorption. I d... | |
| SME-10 worn motor bearing on top Let me give some update on this item,as it so happened, the motor developed (if it was not a faulty set-up in the first place?) too much up/down play. This is adjustable from the bottom of the motor by a pointed cap-screw and counter nut.My explan... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi Mapman,can't argue with that now, can one? So you take a recording you know and THEN go listen to this on a system such as I'm on about and see what happens.Can't 'blame' the software for it then, can you?There are ways to take the sw out of th... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi DerTonarm,(I feel a bit silly to keep calling you that name --- is your first name a secret, if so, so may be it. I'm surely not talking to Juergen Eggers :-)Back to the subject on hand. I do agree, whow! with EVERYTHING you state above (must b... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi DerTonarm,if you read my post you will find that I have addressed the point from a sound response point of view.I have tried counter weight as close as can be, in the middle and pretty much at the extreme end of the weight adjustment.There is N... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Lewm,I'm still tying to get back to the source for 2.5 x cart DCR = lowest loading = ~ best approximation of cart impedance.There are other 'notions' about that, which I found not to be workable, neither for secondary nor primary loading i.e. 5 x ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Whow -------- what a long thread!!!!can this be SO deep a subject?I have done all sorts of 'hand washing' and later steam cleaning also (a bit), I then had a Nitty and it was just to compare results. Steam cleaning "might" have helped in some VERY... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Thank you Ggavetti for your input.I think you said it very well, but I do feel in no way to have a different 'take' as such. What you describe is IMO the result of a particular 'design preference'.The detail you mention, somehow brought to the for... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi Peterayer,I'm also a SME-V user (previously SME-309) on a SME 10 tt.It was mentioned above, that the VTF spring is 'damped'. That is correct according to SME and you should feel that the dial moves VERY reluctantly -- a sure sign of the present... | |
| The correct internal-inductance of Windfeld cart.? Hi Lewmfunny, punny as ever, hey.Now to my: >>> integrity or your perspicacity <<< aka wisdom, uff. So now you want me to go on digging in the web to give you satisfactionÂ… This info came about by some expert that taught me a LOT... |
