| VTA: am I nutz? The way I understand it is that SRA (stylus rake angle) is the paramount parameter to be set & VTA is a means to that end i.e. you set SRA by setting VTA. Every record is slightly diff. in thickness so SRA set for 1 LP is not going to be the s... | |
| Pioneer DV-47ai and jitter Without meaning to hijack this thread, I'd like to ask whether anyone has had Electronic Visionary Systems (EVS) perform modifications on a DV45/47A/47Ai???In the attached link, they charge 3-4X what Dan Wright charges but they do list their list ... | |

| Another wattage question. Bottomsup,IN GENERAL, I don't think that this assumption is valid. OTOH, ARC is a company with a long-standing reputation for good/excellent products. I have no personal experience w/ the D-100 so I cannot comment.Nelson Pass once wrote an article... | |
| Another wattage question. Bottomsup,OK, no problem. I'll be very gentle.You understand the basic relationship of W=V*A correctly. However, what you are thinking of is peak power rating of an amp, which is what is specified on an amps's data sheet. So, if an amp is rated at... | |
| Machina Dynamica under 'table? Cool, Ozzy!Looks like you might have solved your problem after all! I might have to visit now! :-)Do post a pix in your system whenever you get a chance. Thanx. | |
| Another wattage question. Jzzmn88,Kchahoc's answer is correct but that is one aspect.Another aspect is how much power do you really need for the N805S?? The tech. spec says 88dB @ 1W measured 1m away.So, if you are sitting 2m (6.6ft away), the SPL at your ears is really 82... | |

| Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7 Here's what I found for you:Project tonearm:-9" tonearmeff mass 11gmsoverhang = 18mmKontra-A:-12um/mN0.45mVweight = 10gmIt seems that the Kontra-A is a medium-low compliance cart. Since the Pro-ject 9 is a gimballed tonearm it should be able to ta... | |
