| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Bravo Dgob: the most articulate and detailed account of the 'nude' sound that I've seen. Do you have your power supply on spikes as well? The pic makes it look a bit elevated.Do you prefer the 1982 GV to the 1955? | |
| My 1st tube amp: transformer buzz audible 15 feet? What is your amp sitting on? I had a similar problem with a more or less new RM-10. It was my first tube amp as well and I could hear it 10 feet away. I had it sitting directly on a piece of ply on spikes on a rug over concrete. I believe it was r... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? I find that my tube amp sounds best on the 365th day it's continuously left on; on the 366th day, however, it goes back to sounding like cr*p. | |
| Removable headshells 101 Your influence is far and deep, Raul. Turns out the previous owner of my Azden removed the adapter's pins based on your recommendation in the mm thread. I ordered a new adapter so I should be able to listen to it next week. Maybe I'll try drilling... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Dear Nandric: the reference to Plato and Aristotle was intended to mark a contrast with those in a pluralistic democracy who deny that theres a legitimate perspective from which to condemn an individuals personal ends. Thats not to say there ar... | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... In this thread, Roger says the RM-10 is a class AB1:http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/t.mpl?f=tubes&m=61190 | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? DNM datasheet states 13.2pF/meter: http://www.dnm.co.uk/datasheets/stereointerconnectall.pdf | |
| Removable headshells 101 What for heaven's sake is the sence of testing two carts a day? What possible sence is in owing 100 different carts? This whole fuss has nothing to do with music but with some egos who want to be 'super egos'.What sense is there in watching sports... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Threads like this cause my pocketbook to drain itself of currency. Bought new headshell leads and an Orsonic Av-11b headshell. Thought I might as well now before this thread causes the other unintended consequence (compare MM/MI thread): the skyro... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? I listen to records 95% of the time and didn't even think to use my CD player with the rm10--until today. To answer the leading question of this thread: the 35 watts of this amp is more than sufficient for Vandersteens in a sizeable room. I have m... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Full day of listening to my newly acquired RM-10. I had it light loaded on the 4ohm tap for the 7ohm rated 2ce sigs. After 4 hours like that and being rather unimpressed by the sound I was getting, I used the 8ohm tap. Far superior in my set up. S... | |
| buffered vs. unbuffered outputs? I had the TLC-1 and DNA 0.5 deluxe. To my ears, the passive (unbuffered) output was decisively superior. Like Pubul57 said, the input impedance of your amp can easily handle a passive. In fact, I believe Steve McCormack designed it that way. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? When my tonearm be ready I don't use any more any other tonearm I own or is out there and I will put on sale all those tonearms.That's quite a statement given your previous assertions on the importance of cart/tonearm matching. It implies that you... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Given the current trajectory and level of enthusiasm, no way Fatgh0st makes it to 2012 without upgrading.The process of "identifying" upgrades is tantamount to deliberating about whether to acquire them. | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Well, I just bought a RM-10. So, I'll see very soon whether 35 tube watts can drive the vandies in a sizable room. Fingers crossed. Will report back. |
