| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? I don’t know yet Steve, the arm just left the UK yesterday. It will be here in about a week. I too am an admirer of Jeff Spall’s Audiomods Arm, one I recommend anyone in the market for a very high-value pickup arm at least checkout. I would rather... | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? Steve (williewonka), I happen to have just done that. I had Vic at Trans-Fi install a pair of the KLEI Absolute Harmony RCA’s (that I sent him) on the ends of the 1-piece silver loom with which he wired the Terminator Arm he was making me---Eric. | |
| RCA Caps whart, it's always a cause for concern when the original owner of a company sells it. Even more so when the owner was deeply involved in the design of his company's products, as was Bill Johnson in ARC's. I know some hardcore tube guys who feel AR... | |
| Lee Ann Womack Dang rpeluso, I didn't realize you are into Americana (my preferred term for the genre) as much as I! I will definitely give Lee Ann another chance, I may have been too hasty. | |
| RCA Caps James, there is a real good chance that true shorting plugs will provide an improvement over the non-shorting Cardas caps. Do a search for them on ebay, where I found mine. I then sold my Cardas, as they were inferior to the far cheaper plugs. As ... | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? The issue with the tonearm cable is the extremely small cartridge output voltage traveling through it. Noise pick up (no pun intended!) can be a serious problem. A shielded cable is a real good idea. | |
| Best looking reel to reel OMG, those United reels are so ghetto! Too much bling for this white boy. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! I need the next higher rated Pods for my other critical sources myself, as they weigh 47lbs (CD/SACD player) and about 50 (VPI table). Same for the power amp and speakers. But the IsoAcoustic GAIA looks interesting, too. I'm in no hurry, gonna tak... | |
| RCA Caps What ever works. But I'll wager than if non-shorting caps are beneficial, shorting caps will be even more so. In this case, the "why" is no mystery.Speaking of shorting caps and understanding them, here's a story Bill Johnson told at an instore ap... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Ha prof, beat ya to 'em! The set I got are rated for 8lbs. apiece, so I can try them under both my tube phono and line amps, and Townshend Rock table. If they're as good as they're supposed to be, I'll get some more---a set for the SACD player and... | |
| RE: Finite Elements Cerabase Slimline Precision Audio Footers are Recommended Todd, another idea posted on Diament's site is chrome or nickel drawer handles, the round ones with a concave face. Bolt three of them to a plank of MDF or plywood, and put a ball bearing in each. Ten bucks oughta cover all the parts. | |
| RCA Caps As long as you're going to put caps of some sort on your unused RCA inputs, might as well make them shorting caps. Why spend more for non-shorting Cardas' than for cheaper true-shorting caps? Seems obvious to me, a no-brainer if there ever was one! | |
| Lee Ann Womack And I'm going to give Lee Ann's new album a listen. I may love it! By the way, she duets with one of my favorite current male artists---the great Buddy Miller, on an album of Buddy's entitled Buddy & Friends: Cayamo Sessions At Sea. It's an al... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Right, prof?! I wanted to find out how tall the Seismic Pods are, and neither the U.S. Townshend distributor nor any Townshend retailer could tell me. Lame! I just bought a used pair here on Audiogon---when they get to me I’ll post the Pods’ dimen... | |
| New Magneplanar Bass Panel DWM twoch---Lower, no. The DWM doesn’t play lower than the MG3.7, or even the 1.7. But it does provide more output above the frequency at which Maggies start rolling off---40-45Hz. It’s NOT a sub, it’s a bass driver. |
