| PF SETTING FOR MC CARTRIDGE WITH SUT Hey Al, I guess that's what synergy is all about, i.e., the interaction of a number of factors that combine to effect a better outcome. In the present case, the factors being: (A) electrical ("higher load capacitance will, under typical circumstan... | |
| PF SETTING FOR MC CARTRIDGE WITH SUT Hi Al: Thanks again for the cartridge lesson on impedance, capacitance and inductance. I've tried to apply your advice, both that which you and I shared privately and here on A'gon. I think my phono stage sounds all the better because of your help... | |
| Dynavector 20X H vs DV 20X M 1mv for VPI Jdaniel, again I empathize. FWIW, if you still have your VPI TT, and want to try another cartridge at some point that I think WILL please you with its musicality and trackability, then take a look at the VPI Zephyr, made by Sound Smith. I understa... | |
| Dynavector 20X H vs DV 20X M 1mv for VPI Jdaniel, I know what you mean. If you check my other threads, I whinned about my VPI/cartridge compatibility issues. Interesting to hear about your DV20X L having tracking problems. I don't recall the same with my DV20X2 H, and because the coils i... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Thanks Hiho. So far, your explanation makes the most sense to me. | |
| PF SETTING FOR MC CARTRIDGE WITH SUT Mofi and T_bone: your post states that pF is generally relevant for MM but not MC cartridges. Would you consider MI (moving iron) cartridges to be in the same category as MM?? My cartridge, a VPI Zephyr, is a MI. The Zephyr is hooked up to my phon... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Thanks Ralph. So far, your explanation makes the most sense to me. Next time around, in my next life, I check out the Triplanar!Best | |
| RCA cables? Which? That's interesting. My kids set up my Blue Ray player/TV like the OP: BRP to TV, TV audio out to preamp. It never occurred to me to direct couple an audio out from the BRP to the pre. Can this be done? Is the BRP output voltage ok for the pre?? I ... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Sammjohn and Inna, allow me to be King Solomon and harmonize your comments about when "men were men" and "women were women." You are both right. To talk about one and not the other is like trying to clap hands with one arm. Now, as to the comments... | |
| Dynavector 20X H vs DV 20X M 1mv for VPI Thanks Dodge. Actually, my cartridge is the 20X2 H. I have no point of reference to know how the 20X2 compares to the 20X.Your response is consistent with what I would have expected, i.e., a little better detail and speed. I surmise that the coil ... | |
| DAM Broken tube? Agree with Rodman. I just lost a bias resister because a tube went bad. Fortunately, the factory arranged for same day service at my home, all under warranty. When trying out the socket with a back up tube, one of the back up tubes also had a ratt... | |
| How to isolate a refrigerator? Turn off the fridge when you listen to the rig, or just dump the fridge and go with the rig. LOL | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? Hey Tpreaves, Can't say I remember "You Broke My Heart, So I Busted Your Jaw" by Spooky Tooth, but I gotta give it a listen -- just because the title sounds so cool. | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music A lot of the posts above definitely resonate (pun intended) with me. After re-reading this post before submission, I realize that I am being verbose and pedantic, but it's a slow, warm and humid Saturday afternoon, and I am in a mood to be verbose... | |
| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? Noble, did I mention I also had a crush on (1) Raquel Welch, (2) Jane Fonda (Barbarella ??, exercise records) and (3) Ellen Foley (sang with Meatloaf; she did a great video with the "Loaf" singing Paradise By The Dashboard Light). There were many ... |
