| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? I'm dying over here ;-). Geoff correcting and lecturing Ralph Karsten on the nature of electricity. Next thing you know we'll be expected to believe Michael Green understands room acoustics better than Art Noxon. Oh yeah, we already are. | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records @yc25, great list! Have you heard any of Buddy Miller’s albums? He plays guitar/sings harmony/leads Emmylou’s road band. Great singer, in the same league as John Hiatt, though not a songwriter of John’s caliber. Few are! Also a great producer (Ric... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? @glubson, Jeff drills holes in his Audiomods arm tube as part of his efforts to remove the resonances inherent in the stock Rega tube. He also removes the black paint, and adds three internal stiffening discs. He then wires the arm with the custom... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Thanks terry9 and fleschler. | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Who "thinks the Audiomods is better than (the) new Technics tonearms that comes (if it's multiple Technics tonearms, it should be "come") with GAE"? Not me---I said no such thing. Geez, false quotes are becoming really rampant on AudiogoN, aren't ... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? @chakster, I have to agree with you on the looks of the Audomods. All those holes drilled into the arm tube (admittedly for a good reason, and apparently providing a substantial benefit) is quite unsightly, especially in the matte finish-version. ... | |
| Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth? @fsonicsmith, dang, you must REALLY like the MC5!Good post, to which I would only add that there is another dynamic at work, only at the high end. Brooks Berdan was (R.I.P.) a SoCal dealer who had a fair percentage of long-term, repeat customers w... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Poor Jeff at Audiomods. He does everything he can to prevent his unique arm from being incorrectly, mistakenly described as a "tweaked Rega", yet some continue to do so. Why? That is akin to describing a custom-designed, hand-built automobile, ont... | |
| Phono cartridge grading All those cartridges, and not a single Decca or London? Ridiculous! ;-)By the way, low frequencies are bass, not base. | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning Anyone have an opinion yet on the new Kirmuss Audio ultrasonic? | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Michael Percy sells a product that HW-19 owners may want to try. It is made by well-known commercial isolation product specialist company EAR, and is named the Isoloss Sandwich Mount. It is intended for use on circuit boards, but the EAR Isoloss m... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! Audio Magazine was great, having both objective and subjective elements. Their technical articles were written by professional designers, and subjective reviews by guys with both ears and brains, Bascom King (now designing at PS Audio) being one. | |
| I like Steve Guttenberg. Another good Steve is Stone, a pal of JGH's. | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! As always, almarg said it all (mapman too). I find especially useful and interesting---and necessary---the input and output impedances of tube pre's and power amps, and the modulus of a loudspeaker's impedance. The interaction between all three ca... | |
| GIK - Free 3D Acoustics modelling! Erik, ASC IS expensive. I got lucky and found my Traps for $10 each, including two 16" ! I found them in the mid-90's, listed in The Recycler, a Buy/Sell newspaper in SoCal. I went to the sellers house to pick them up, and the place was empty exce... |
