| Review: KAB SL-1200 Fluid Damper Tweak I wanted to ring in so I could keep track of this, as I read this with much interest, and have continuing interest. Your description and assesment were great, so much so that it evan helped me to describe to myself what I hear when I damp. If you ... | |
| Kimber or Cardas for Dynaudio 1.3se I don't want to confuse you, and I haven't had any of these speaker cables in my system, but since you have described the cardas and the kimber so well, we may have the same taste. The kimber select ic's has, for me, been the only one to equal the... | |
| How old is this turntable? Oracle Delphi Mk -1 Don't take this wrong, that I don't appreciate any and all post and answers, but I have to ask, why haven't you asked Mr. Berdan? Not only is he maybe the most knowlegdeable person ever to deal with a turntable, but when I was lucky enough to live... | |
| Benefits of Bi-Amping high-powered amps? There is a place in philidelphia called DAVID MANN AUDIO.I had some good conversations with Barry Mann about this and he seemed real intellegent. Then I did a search on the web and found he actually had a white paper on the subject, and from my co... | |
| Why vinyl? I read an article about 5-6 years ago where sony built the best, 24-96 digital recorder they could, and they took it to oceanway studios. In short, the analog tape still won out. There are more posters here that would know more about that than I w... | |
| Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM fm is not dead, anymore than vinyl is. I listen to the radio often, and more and more often. Every city I've ever been has a local jazz station, and they are all good. When I can't decide what to play, The music is on the airwaves. Sometimes it's ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Oh, I almost forgot, the yoke, what part is that? TWL, the peice I was refering to was not the suspention component, that metal piece with the big hole in it, the one you have to look through to see the coils, often made of brass? | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Zaikesman, I think we are all a little lost here in this, but that is what I think makes this worthwhile-A better, more sophisticated comprehention of what habbens in this area, which I think is aat the fundamentals of what makes a tonearm work we... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long I'm glad you tried the warped record. I'm having trouble trying to explain what I mean as far as the amplitude of the movement and the amount. I'm trying to think of the proper terminolgy, bot I'm at a loss, as I have been, but I'll try to get clo... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Oh yes, I gotta try the weights. I would highly appreciate a set of yours, as then I can be sure I am trying exactly what you are using. My statements regarding cantilever flex are exactly as you say. It is not actually the cantilever that is fle... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? Hey, I know what your saying. I have a really old nikko, 19 watts per side, that I can not get rid of. I'll tell you the truth, and I'm not exagerrating, Its competency in reproducung bass, the complexities of it, the depth, the pinpointing, all t... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long TWL, I think we are having some misinterpritations here, but when we are speculating, as I am, that will often be the case. I agree with you on all your reasons and speculations behind your mod. I also find them highly intelligent and insightful. ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long The effect of the cantilever deflection in the reverse is a real thing. I've read about it and observed it. When you get your fluid damping devise (where are you getting it, by the way, so we may obtain our own), you may be able to observe it as w... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Keep in mind I am still trying to grasp a lot of this myself. I'm still wondering about the benifits/consequences of the differences/simularities. Zaikeman makes some really good points in that last post. Keep in mind here that the most commonly u... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long It took me a long time to understand as well. Now I'm grappelling with mass and it's relationship with damping. If you are like me, you think about this stuff all the time, and things come to you, (obviously, look at whats come back at us). This p... |
