| Hi Fi Tuning fuses I couldn't care less if the Hi Fi Tuning fuse: 1- does or doesn't provide better sound than Buss, Little Fuse, or any other garden variety brand; 2- does or doesn't possess the potential to make possible damage to an amp. I have no ambition to mak... | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? @rshak, Walter Davies states that because the Last chemicals bond to the vinyl molecules, any foreign matter in the groove will pushed off the surface of the groove (but will remain IN the groove), where it may be heard by the stylus as noise. The... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses @rodman99999, the answer to your "why would a correctly valued fuse (in voltage, amperage, and time), as required by amps’ owner’s manual, be a danger to it’s DC circuitry?" question---a reasonable one, is exactly what Roger Modjeski (my "hero", a... | |
| IN YOUR EXPERIENCE ?? WHAT IS THE QUIETEST 12AX7 TYPE TUBE ??? 6072 ? Spiral Filament 5751, I don't recall the brand. Whatever Frank Van Alstine was putting in his modded-Dynaco PAS pre-amp in the 1980's. Zero hum, and just a hint of tube rush with the volume control at max. | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? I very much agree with cleanliness cleeds (I own a VPI HW-17F, and am putting together a DIY USC), but Last is not "goop". It is a very thin liquid, which when applied to an LP bonds molecularly with the vinyl, preventing the fracturing of the vin... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I neglected to include the following: I very much appreciate and concur with the feelings of Art Dudley and Herb Reichert, that "forward musical momentum", touch, and full color saturation of instrumental timbre is extremely important in the repro... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses Geoff, you once again mischaracterize my position on the Hi-Fi tuning fuse. I am agnostic on the claim of improved sound, and have merely alerted tube amp users to what Music Reference's Roger Modjeski has said about their use in any DC circuit. H... | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? Last Record Preservative creator Walter Davies claims no immediate benefit in the sound of treated LP's, but rather, as the name more than implies, the prevention of deterioration in their sound with multiple plays. At that I consider it very succ... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? For me, it isn't a matter of whether or not holographic imaging is heard live; live is one thing, recordings another. If soundstaging is inherent in a recording and your system isn't reproducing it, what else is it missing?It was Harry Pearson and... | |
| Best Phone Stage for under $1,000.000 @ebm, you missed the joke in sleepwalker65's post. | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? Serious listening? That's some serious liquoring! | |
| Cowsills Everybody knows The Partridge Family was based on The Cowsills, right? Just as The Monkees on The Beatles. Unfortunately for The Cowsills, they appeared on the scene just as to be seen smiling in promotional pics was viewed as uncool---scowling wa... | |
| 3D Printed Tonearm There has been a lot of discussion about the arm on the VPI Forum site. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. The old Polk Audio Cobra cables were a very high capacitance design, and caused some amps to become unstable. | |
| Bach Double Violin Concerto It's been a while @twoleftears, perhaps I should refresh my memory ;-) . Of course, some who prefer Romantic-style violinists find the sound of antique instruments (or reproductions) harsh and ugly. |
